Here's a list that a lawyer who went thru the Senate report came up with for possible crimes committed by the Trump administration in connection with the attempt to change the results of the election.
Coercion of political activity, 18 US Code, Section 610, makes it a crime for anyone to intimidate or coerce, or attempt to intimidate or coerce, any federal employee to engage in any political activity, including refusing to work or working on behalf of any candidate. In the activities at issue, Trump was simply a candidate; he was not the president of the United States with respect to these activities. Anyone who violates that section is eligible for a fine and/or up to three years in prison. That is one offense that this report screams quite loudly, pointing to the conclusion that he and a number of others were guilty of twisting arms in order to pressure people into engaging in political activity. The Hatch Act itself, which is about engaging in political activity while being a government official, does not apply to the president, but Section 610 definitely does. The second major offense this report strongly indicates has been committed by various people, probably including the president, is seditious conspiracy, 18 US Code, Section 2384, which says that if two or more people conspire to overthrow the government, or to oppose its authority by force, or to seize or take the United States property by force, they’re guilty of seditious conspiracy, which can lead to imprisonment of up to 20 years. Now there are ambiguities — what kind of threat constitutes force? Certainly, the sacking of the Capitol involved force, but that is only the tail end of the conspiracy exposed here. The dots are not going to be very difficult to connect, assuming our Justice Department is interested in trying to connect them. That is a big assumption, given that we simply don’t know where the attorney general of the United States is going with any of the evidence that is emerging. The third offense, which is less directly connected with this report, but is indirectly connected, is rebellion or insurrection. That’s 18 US Code Section 2383. That section provides that whoever incites, assists, or engages in any insurrection against the authority of the United States or its laws, or gives aid or comfort thereto — that’s really important — is to be fined and subject to imprisonment of up to 10 years and shall be incapable of holding any office in the United States. That would apply to any number of people in this report who were likely giving aid and comfort to the insurrection. |

Her name is America Ps Republican do want an autocrat running the country their to dumb they just call Trump a patriot . Thinking that’s what an autocrat is .. That’s why Republicans love Putin Why are Republicans using Putin’s talking points? This study helps explain. Increasingly, Republican voters think Vladimir Putin is a good leader. But Russians don’t feel the same way about President Trump. You really need to expand you reading list Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
I searched transcripts for Fox today and see no coverage of the subpoena battle playing out between Trump-world figures and the January 6 committee. The only time I saw the word “subpoena” mentioned was when a reporter asked about it in WH press briefing. Fox then cut away.

APRIL 20, 2021 *A full autopsy found that officer Brian Sicknick suffered two strokes after the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, with no sign that any injury or reaction to chemical irritants played a role. New information from the chief medical examiner for the District of Columbia provides fresh details that call into question early reports about how U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died. Sicknick died the day after the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol. Initial reports, citing law enforcement sources, said that the 42-year-old had been struck on the head with a fire extinguisher. Follow-up coverage challenged that, saying he had been sprayed with a form of mace, and that the cause of death remained unclear. On April 19, the medical examiner, Dr. Francisco J. Diaz, determined that Sicknick died from two strokes at the base of his brain caused by a blood clot in the artery that feeds that part of the body. Diaz told the Washington Post that there were no signs of any injury, or evidence that Sicknick had an allergic reaction to chemical irritants. Sicknick died, Diaz said, of natural causes. https://www.politifact.com/article/2...k-died-natura/ |

He died of natural causes, he had two strokes the next day. Natural causes. Are you still saying the Duke lacrosse team was guilty, and that Nick Sandman is a white supremacist? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

Jim you do know if you robbed a bank and someone died of a heart attack . You and even your getaway driver gets charged with that persons death.. The police or the law doesn’t dismiss the incident that lead to the heart attack .. not sure how the medical examiner didn’t take into account what happened to him and how those thing contributed to his death causes .. I guess your suggestion is they had no impact in his death ? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

liberal spin. the autopsy showed zero signs of any injuries. . sorry to disappoint you. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
The right can spin this as a peaceful protest, but that only works if you never saw the news, never watched any of the footage as it came out later and if you did and still believe it your memory is extremely short, very selective or you need to spin the party line. Trump not getting protected with executive privilege has to be making him crazy and nervous, but he will do what he does best whine and then lawyer up.

The vast majority of BLM protesters were very peaceful but I don’t see you supporting them with that argument .. I am 100 positive you support what happened Jan 6th and you also support Trumps attempts to overturn the election…. You are like most right wingers you want your outcome by any means necessary . All while claiming to be a great lover of the constitution…. All the while looking the other way while Trump and Republicans try to trample all over it .. calling themselves Patriots Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

number of them were violent, mostly causing property damage. unlike the blm rioters ( who got a complete free pass from the left) they didn’t murder anyone, they didn’t burn any buildings to the ground. interesting your side cares about the well being of cops, only when right wing lunatics are hurting them? violence against police is skyrocketing, how many cases of violence against cops did you decry here? just this one instance?

And I know of no greater way of trampling all over the Constitution than interpreting it in a way that will achieve desired outcomes. From what you've said, you seem to think that it is perfectly fine for SCOTUS Justices to interpret the Constitution for the supposed greater good (because times have changed). Such pragmatic interpretation nullifies the Constitution to a mere gathering of words that can mean what a judge needs them to mean in order to allow government to do what its current clan of politicians consider best for us all--which is to say that the Constitution is just a bunch of words judges can manipulate in order to grant government the power to do as it wishes so long as it is for the good as seen by politicians and judges. That is to say that the Constitution does not actually limit government, does not actually guaranty any unalienable rights. That method of interpretation is one of the "means", as you put it, of getting "your outcome by any means necessary". |

how come the left won’t say that a really small number of cops commit police brutality? funny how they only play the “really small number” card when it suits them. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

How many cops were present at George Floyd’s execution?

in 2019, according to the washington post, 9 unarmed blacks were killed by the police. let’s assume every one of those was police brutality ( probably not true, but let’s assume it). there are over 700,000 police officers in the US. one out of 80,000 killed an unarmed black man in a whole year. now, one instance is too many, but it’s a rounding error, not an epidemic. One out of 80,000. That’s pretty close to zero. how many blacks are killed by other blacks every year in chicago? Hundreds. that’s one city. but the left doesn’t care, because THAT sue doesn’t help them win elections, and that’s all this is, politics. the left doesn’t care, because liberalism contributes to urban violence, obviously. gang violence and fatherlessness is a million times more destructive to blacks, but we ignore it, because it’s not a politically winning issue for the left.

how many cops are there? and how many blacks are murdered by other blacks? so which is a bigger problem for blacks? still trying to see how you can call the capital police officers death a murder? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

numbers too low, it would include a case like michael brown, who was unarmed but who was posing a lethal threat to wilson. unarmed does not necessarily mean innocent. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
