Can we please all just admit that he’s guilty of treason and charge him accordingly at this point? Between undermining the entire political system with his bullshit insurrection as AND keeping hold of documents that our enemies would pay to see, I’m not sure anyone could make a solid argument that he’s what we’re looking for in a citizen.
We can’t… Charge for crimes that have been committed and televised with millions of witnesses? Isn’t that almost entirely the point of the justice system?
You’re absolutely right. It’s crazy. But I believe for treason and sedition you have to prove intent. That’s a bit harder. As much as we want to have the hard and fast trial, it has to be done more carefully to make sure it’ll stick.
No because treason is specifically defined within the US Constitution and he has not met those parameters. However, sedition is absolutely on the table.
