According to FindLaw, seditious conspiracy is generally defined as conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of the state, treason is the more-serious offense of actively levying war against the United States or giving aid to its enemies.
Trump seems easily guilty of sedition and if he manages to stir up enough violence treason would also be an appropriate charge.
As a Texan, I emailed Sen Cruz the same question Joseph Welch asked Joe McCarthy – Have You No Sense of Decency, Sir?….I got the same response Welch did.
Could have put all the names of the traitors on the insects, but then we wouldn’t see what it was they’d destroyed just in one day. Need to use “DDT” . . .(Destroy Donald Trump)
It is extremely interesting that some Trumpians are not upset by the telephone call Trump made to the Georgia Secretary of State, but that it was RELEASED!
In other words, they’re NOT concerned by the criminality of the call, but by its RELEASE TO THE PUBLIC – a totally interesting take, I must say!
What is exceptionally interesting is that they apparently see nothing WRONG with a sitting president trying to subvert a state election to have it turn in his direction. I make note of this simply to mark it for future reference – I do not think Biden would do any such thing – but it is interesting to note that the Trumpians should have no problem with such an action were it to occur!
Trump has done ONE THING and done it exceedingly well – he has destroyed ANY preconception of what’s allowed of the president! ANYTHING that Biden or any other future president wants to do will now be considered right and proper in the context of what Trump has been allowed to get away with!
If anyone ever put on a performance that would cause a jury to go along with an insanity defense, Trump did it with that phone call. Maybe he’s not stupid as well as nuts. Maybe he’s neither and just figured out how to get away with all of the crap he’s pulled.
Members of the party that lost the presidential election have raised objections after nearly every election since 2000. All have failed, and only one succeeded in splitting the chambers to force them to debate one challenge.When certifying the contentious 2000 election, House Democrats tried to challenge Vice President Al Gore’s loss using Florida’s electoral votes, but they couldn’t find a Senate partner to get things started.AD
In 2005, House Democrats challenged President George W. Bush’s reelection the same way over the result in Ohio. Then-Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) joined them, but the effort was quashed pretty quickly, including by her fellow Democrats in the Senate. House Democrats tried again in 2016 to challenge Trump’s win, but no senator was willing to stand with them.For that challenge, it was then-Vice President Joe Biden who was presiding over everything. “It is over,” he told Democrats.

Nibble, nibble and soon it will disappear. I don’t think they will really enjoy the aftertaste.
