I don't necessarily think you're coming from a position of bias, as well. However, when you review the evidence in it's totality, you get a very clear picture that this was treason.
The abuse of the FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign, the ties to the "three letter agencies", the evidence uncovered that showed these things involved Obama's administration, the entire General Flynn fiasco where they clearly targeted an innocent man for an incoming presidency, and then the clear cover-ups under official communication channels (such as repeating 3 different times that the transition was being done "by the book" - why are you trying to document, so hard, that the transition was being done by the book?), all adds up to clear culpability by both the Democrats involved in this and the Obama administration.
Since those actions started before Trump was elected and continued even after Trump took office, no amount of justification of "due diligence and due care" is a legitimate explanation for those actions. They were clear partisan activities that crossed the line into legitimate treason.
My guess as to why these have not been pursued with extreme prejudice including capital punishment for this treason is the GOP people are not 100% innocent of these activities, as well and it will start a cascade of criminal charges and treason convictions. It is a M.A.D. scenario. As usual, I think it was originally Backfire who pointed this out and I think it's right.
