Alexander Of Assyria (1,488 posts)https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216292701TFG must be tried for both Treason and Sedition.https://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-sedition-and-vs-treason/All quotes in reference to linked article……………………………………………..What is Sedition?If you are doing something or saying something that is meant to overthrow the established authority in your country, you are liable to be charged with sedition.What is Treason?Treason is a concept that overlaps with sedition. It refers to acts of brazen defiance against one’s own government in a bid to bring harm or to overthrow the government in place. If you owe allegiance to your government but do something to overthrow the government……………………………………………..Do the actions, as revealed by undisputed evidence to date, merit an indictment on Sedition?Yes. TFG said many things and did many things to overthrow the established authority on J6, the purpose being to overthrow the established authority of Congress to certify the will of the Electorate as to the next government.Do the actions, as revealed by undisputed evidence to date, merit an indictment on the capital offence of treason?Yes.Were there “acts of brazen defiance against one’s own government in a bid to bring harm or to overthrow the government in place ? If you owe allegiance to your government but do something to overthrow the government or betray your state by harming its interests and by helping an enemy state, you are liable to be charged with treason.”All checkboxes are marked; a President owes high allegiance to the government in place at the time of the bid to overthrow the government. As well many subordinates would meet the tests.The DOJ is asking these very same questions, applying the legal lenses, using the same tests.The outcome of all tests must come out the same. Bearing in mind the full picture is not yet known to the public, the full evidence not yet released.Indictments for Sedition and Treason, a certainty.It can only be a matter of time, which as of today is not of the essence.☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️Section 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. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.The Sedition Act, as finally Amended§2384. Seditious conspiracyIf two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; July 24, 1956, ch. 678, §1, 70 Stat. 623; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(N), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=%2Fprelim%40title18%2Fpart1%2Fchapter115&edition=prelim……….A number of other related offences listed at the link are also available for those lower down in chain of the conspiracy and organization of the coup and the violence.

Often throwing in “Death is the punishment for treason.” The actual possible penalties for treason include death, but that isn’t the only option: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, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.115 USC §2381

Star Member MineralMan (141,581 posts) 6. You should probably look downthread, where someone posted the actuallanguage from the Constitution regarding Treason. Nobody is going to be charged with Treason, and there's no need to do so.Sedition or Conspiracy for an Insurrection is more than adequate to put them all in prison for what will amount to a life sentence.Accuracy matters.
