Treason, maybe, in politics (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senator

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'politics' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'treason maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'treason' is an anagram of 'SENATOR'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for senator that I've seen before include "Legislator -- treason (anag)" , "American politician" , "Roman politician" , "Legislative body member" , "Member of upper house of legislature" .)
