What’s the difference between aiding and abetting?

The term “aiding” and the term “abetting” are similar legal concepts. But each has a slightly different meaning.

Aiding a crime means helping someone else commit a crime.

Abetting means to encourage or incite a criminal act. Although to abet does not necessarily mean that you help or facilitate its execution.

Both aiding and abetting are crimes and forms of accomplice liability. A conviction usually comes with the same penalties as the underlying offense.

While the crime is often referred to as “aiding and abetting,” either one suffices.

You can be liable if you aid a criminal activity, or if you abet in it.

Introduction
The attack on the United States Capitol complex to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election on January 6, 2021, led to the first application of the disqualification clause contained in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment in more than a century. Section 3 prohibits public office holders who have taken an oath to support the U.S. Constitution and then engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or who give aid or comfort to enemies of the United States, from serving in public office.

The analysis in this report will build on the established collective understanding of Section 3 to guide contemporary application of the clause. The report will specifically prescribe how the disqualification clause can currently be enforced against individuals involved in the January 6 attack.
