TFG Could Be Hit With 'Seditious Conspiracy' Charge, Former U.S. Prosecutor Says

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Amid a cascade of new details about what former President Donald Trump failed to do during the Jan. 6 insurrection, a former federal prosecutor speculated Monday that he could possibly be hit with a charge of “seditious conspiracy.”

“There is a crime making it illegal to corruptly impede or obstruct an official proceeding, which includes proceedings before Congress,” former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said on MSNBC, referring to the certification of presidential electoral votes that was held up by the Jan. 6 insurrection. “If he [Trump] had the power to stop that riot from happening and to permit the vote to go forward, his failure to do that could be that effort to corruptly obstruct the official proceeding.”

McQuade pointed to how Trump reacted during the insurrection.

“We’ve got this 187 minutes when he sat and did nothing, despite the fact that he knew that this violence and disruption was occurring. Is it because it was all part of a larger plan?” she asked.

2. Not going to happen

Not going to happen. Our DOJ has gotten very lazy w all the easy drug and fraud cases. They avoid tough cases they aren't fairly certain of a solid guilty vote from 12 typical jurors.
