Charges of Seditious Conspiracy

@Chris

And here come the sedition charges we've been talking about. Next will come charges of insurrection as well.

It's gonna be awhile, but people are going to do heavy time.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has opened criminal investigations of more than 170 people who stormed the Capitol last week and plans to charge some of the most serious offenders with assault and seditious conspiracy for their role in the violence, a federal prosecutor said on Tuesday.

Enjoy your final days of full blown TDS............................


The real crimes prosecuted in the end will be vandalism and a very "few" more serious cases like "assault" if somebody comes to their senses?

Last year, charges of seditious conspiracy were over the top and something a dictator would do. Hypocrisy: 410

All talk no action. They are just being blowhards to ward off people for inauguration day.
They were just caught up in it. Standard defense for black rioters.
They stole the computer and podium to feed their family's
They felt repressed and these were just reparations.

All legitimate defenses to the liberal media and the Democrats.

I'll wait till indictments for sedition are actually issued. And considering the media's cluster $#@! over the Russian collusion delusion and their obvious disappointment, you should probably wait also.

This is theater for the stupid and probably an intentional propaganda campaign to unite Democrats around something. It can't be Biden because no one really cares about Biden. Russiagate redux

It's risky.

Federal 'Strike Force' Builds Sedition Cases Against Capitol Rioters. Will It Work?

...But others caution that sedition is hard to prove and, moreover, could ricochet and be used to stifle legitimate dissent.

The statute has been used a handful of times in modern America, with very mixed success. It worked against Islamist terrorists, including the blind sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, who masterminded the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Its most recent use, in 2010 against the far-right Hutaree militia in Michigan, did not go well.

Members of this self-described Christian militia were accused of plotting to kill a police officer and then bomb his funeral in hopes of sparking an anti-government uprising.

A judge dismissed the sedition charges, ruling the government had only circumstantial evidence and had failed to prove that the group had planned to carry out specific attacks. Three members were convicted of lesser weapons charges and sentenced to time served.

"It's hard to prove," says Andy Arena, who led the Hutaree investigation when he was special agent in charge of the FBI's Detroit Division. Today some Capitol rioters, Arena says, may well meet the terms of the sedition statute. But he cautions that it's a high bar....

They’re being charged with it, so why wait?

Planning to and doing so are two different things jet57, like I said, I'll wait.

There is that, but I'll bet it works just find when all of the evidence is considered.
