In reply to the discussion: Could Biden now release the unredacted Mueller report [View all]LastLiberal in PalmSprings
(13,293 posts)42. Can Biden imprison TFG for leading the insurrection?
§2383. Rebellion or insurrection
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
On the other hand, there's this:
§2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death . . . (public drawn and quartered comes to mind.)
Trump has been bragging about all the things he's going to do after he is elected but before he is sworn in. He said will he end the Russia-Ukraine war -- and we know that he'll do it by cutting off U.S. support for Ukraine and giving Putin the entire country. Zelensky will be executed. He'll yank us out of NATO.
I know President Biden is too decent of a human being to imprison Trump as a threat to the nation, but I wish he would.
You know that if there is a second debate that Trump will trumpet his unlimited power to "Make America Great Again." And God help us one minute after he is sworn in. He has already said Biden should be arrested, along with members of the Jan. 6 select committee. He has already said he will seek retribution against his enemies, real or imagined. Project 2025 already has a stack of EOs ready to be signed if he wins (this is not from my imagination).
Does this have any effect on the New York case?

I don't think they have much on Epstein - it was FL and NY that prosecuted him

If he gets a copy of the report from Mueller, or from Garland, why the hell not?
