Forget treason. Charge him with sedition (easier to prove) and TERRORISM

[Novara]

That motherfucker singled out specific citizens doing their jobs and sicced the mob on them. A woman who loved to help old people vote and her mother will never be the same ever again. They live in fear even now. They've been terrorized.

Charge him as a terrorist.

1. Nobody was ever going to charge him with Treason.

[Mr. Ected]

5. Former Federal Prosecutor Glenn Kirschner alluded to it in one of his recent broadcasts

Had a compelling argument as to how treason should be included in the charges against DJT.

Politically, though, it carries no weight and frankly would cast a shadow on the other, more provable, charges.

6. It's not compelling at all.

Treason requires an active, declared war. Anyone talking about this as treason doesn't know what they're talking about.

I think many are confusing treason, which this is clearly not, with sedition, which it almost certainly is.

If the Rosenbergs couldn't meet the bar, Trump certainly doesn't.

[Mr. Ected]

8. Only that's not entirely correct

According to the United States Constitution, Article III, § 3, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Kirschner argues that many constitutional scholars get caught up in the second of the two manners to commit the crime: "adhering to their Enemies", and not the first: "Levying war against (the United States).

Once Trump realized he had lost the election, he nevertheless persisted in pursuing a coup against the government he ostensibly led.

Kirschner says it better. I'm not saying that I think it's viable, but it adds flavor in discussions that many times overlook the actual verbiage.

2. And

Scared the grandmother.

[Frasier Balzov]

10. I wonder if any members of that flash mob breaching Grandma's home

are known to law enforcement.

[onenote]

3. There is no federal crime of domestic "terrorism".

[Novara]

4. And that is a big part of what's wrong in this country

Congress should have passed a domestic terrorism statute after Oklahoma City. The fucking Bundys would never have gotten away with their bullshit, the assholes who occupied Malheur would have been thrown in prison. The insurrectionists wouldn't be getting away with light sentences.

7. Trump the Grand Wizard sent his Klan Night Riders out to terrorize the uppity blacks.

Shay Moss did say she thought it was like living in 1920s, the KKK's zenith in Georgia, not 2020.

9. I'm looking forward to a nice, big, Juicy RICO charge.

All the ingredients are on the counter. I hope Garland is a good cook.
