Hopefully Biden won't make the same mistake as Ford.

but before the trial, the country was aware of what had happened.
i don’t know anyone who is aware that there’s an investigation into charging government officials
with treason. I dare say that only exists in your head. Might be time to change the tinfoil wrapped around your head.

Oh, really
It wasn't till the end of July in 1974 that Hogan became the first Republican to publicly go against Nixon.
Nixon resigned two weeks later.
Watergate burglary 1972
Nixon reelected 1972
Nixon Resigns 1974
Lawyers convicted 1975
January 6 2021
Today October 8 2021
But if the Trumplicans again succeed in obstruction, the rule of law will no longer apply at all to the administrative branch.

my point, again, is people
knew well before the convictions.
I looked it up. in August of 1972 the Post reported that a $25k check for the Nixon campaign was deposited into the bank account if one of the burglars. So by then, anyone with a brain had an idea that something fishy had taken place. the date of conviction doesn’t matter. My point, which i made explicitly, is that the public was aware. I have t seen anyone but you suggest there was a coup planned at the highest levels of the government, that’s a tough thing to keep secret.
So either they’re keeping that a secret, or you made it up ( like making up that the rioters murdered 5 people), because it’s your wet dream ending to the trump administration.
Which do you think is more likely.

Doesn't fit the definition of treason.
