Trumps actions were Treasonous

 January 6 ‘was a coup organized by the president’, says Jamie Raskin

"Donald Trump attempted a coup on 6 January 2021 as he tried to salvage his doomed presidency, and that will be a central focus of forthcoming public hearings of the special House panel investigating events surrounding the insurrection at the US Capitol, the congressman Jamie Raskin has said."

We already know Pence's role was a focal point, but there seems to be a lot more to this story and efforts to pressure the VP.

In a legal sense, intent is going to be the hardest thing to sell a judge and a jury if this ever goes to a trial, but let's hope that a lot more damning info comes out of this committee.

"what about the people at the top who created this whole situation?"

A federal Prosecutor called Thomas Windom was added to the Jan 6 DOJ investigation a few months ago.

His job is to investigate the people at the top.

One of the results of his work is people like Alex Jones suddenly asking for immunity i.e he has them scared shitless.

"Mr. Windom is looking into the more politically fraught question of whether a case can be made related to other efforts to overturn the election, a task that could move the investigation closer to Mr. Trump and his inner circle. Mr. Alexander’s lawyers have been dealing with Mr. Windom, for example, in responding to the broad subpoena seeking information about the pro-Trump rallies and other efforts to keep Mr. Trump in office.

Those efforts could extend to issues such as the plan by Trump allies to have seven swing states falsely certify that Mr. Trump won, and then mail those false documents to the National Archives and Congress. However, Mr. Windom does not yet have a robust team of prosecutors, leaving unclear how extensive the investigation might become.

Mr. Windom was described by former colleagues as a diligent, aggressive lawyer capable of handling complex investigations. In his former job, Mr. Windom prosecuted some high-profile cases in Maryland — among them those involving domestic and international terrorism, public corruption and national security."

The other person who responded is correct. The DOJ is following to tried and true method of investigating from the bottom up.

So they started with small fish a year ago and now they are looking at the people at the top. Thats why they have had a grand jury looking at the people who organized the rallies and funded them for a few months now.

This will be a lot slower than people think but remember that indicting Nixon getting to the point where Nixon was about to be impeached took 2 years. And Garland has only been at this for 1 year so far.

Donald Trump's Jan. 6 Actions Qualify as 'Treason': Glenn Kirschner

"Former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said he believes what former President Donald Trump did on January 6, 2021, "qualifies as treason."

Hundreds of Trump supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol a little over 15 months ago in an apparent effort to disrupt the formal certification of President Joe Biden's Electoral College victory in a joint-session of Congress. Their attack came directly after Trump told them at a nearby Washington, D.C. rally to walk to the Capitol and "fight like hell" to save their country, following months of lying about the 2020 election results."

I know cynicism tells you they're doing this for attention. But they're doing this to keep the fight alive. They're doing this because they refuse to let it go...which is what conservatives want. They WANT to let this go. They WANT cynicism. They WANT people to believe "both sides" and "all government is corrupt". Their entire platform is to remove accountability=limited government. They're literally here to sabotage the system.

Will Trump face consequences? Who knows. On the one hand, he broke one of the biggest laws he could in the most obvious way. On the other, he's rich and has support of half the country. And now America is having an identity crisis. They're pulling out all the stops, every excuse, every tactic, to shut this down. Corrupt DAs, corrupt judges, corrupt officials, corrupt senators. Their job isn't to win, it's to wear down everyone until it's irrelevant.

So every one of these acknowledgements matter. Because it keeps an impossible fight going. Trump may get away with it, because half of America is corrupt and stupid as fuck. But other half is still fighting. And that's worth admiration.

We’re running out of time to hold Donald Trump accountable 

"On Friday, Trump endorsed JD Vance in the Ohio Senate Republican primary. This follows his endorsement of Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania’s Senate Republican primary and Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate race."

He tried to pull off a violent coup because he lost an election his own party tried to rig, he has co-conspirators all over the place including in the governments of our literal enemies.

He should have been sitting in a jail cell in an undisclosed location being periodically interrogated since January 7th, 2021.
