There was no war. Sedition requires the overthrow of government by force. There was no force.
Don't get me wrong, I do favor some punishment if the accusations prove true. I don't know what exactly, but some kind of punishment should be assigned. However, I don't see the constitutional definition of treason and sedition being met.

Gabbard released do not support her claim. She cites a handful of emails from 2016 in which officials conclude Russia had no intention of manipulating the U.S. vote count through cyberattacks on voting systems.President Barack Obama’s administration never alleged voting infrastructure was tampered with. Rather, officials have said, Russian operatives hacked emails of prominent Democrats that were subsequently released through WikiLeaks and launched a covert social media campaign to sow discord and inflame U.S. public opinion. More than two dozen Russians were indicted in 2018 in connection with those efforts.
