No evidence of Sedition

https://thepostmillennial.com/doj-admits-theres-little-evidence-to-support-jan-6-sedition-charges/

As the trials get underway for those who participated in the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, it turns out that the charges against these defendants are not as serious as the public was initially led to believe. The Department of Justice has since said that a portion of the evidence is not actually quite as damning as was previously believed.

Reuters reports that none of those 400 who have been charged have been charged with sedition, which would be an incitement of rebellion. Instead, the most serious charge brought against any of the defendants has been assault. Two of the men who were charged with assault on Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick used bear spray in the attack.

Others have been charged with conspiracy, and obstruction. While five people lost their lives during the riot, only one was killed with a weapon, and that was Ashli Babbit, who died after being shot by an unnamed Capitol Police Officer. Sicknick was assaulted with bear spray, but died some time later and a cause of death has not been released. The other three suffered medical emergencies.

Michael Ferrara, an attorney with Kaplan Hecker & Fink, LLP, who was formerly a federal prosecutor, said that if it becomes clear that prosecutors overreached, engaged in hyperbole, of simply misunderstood social media and text messages, it would be no "small error."

In fact, Ferrara said, the prosecutors' zealotry could "color the way the judge see the case going forward," which would impact outcomes for defendants.

It was widely pushed in media after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that those who engaged in the activity of disrupting congress were armed and violent and that senators and representatives feared for their lives. However, the investigation into the actions of that day have revealed that no one was armed with a fire arm, and the most egregious assault charges are against men who were armed with bear spray.

MORE FAKE NEWS LIES DOWN IN FLAMES....
 
So the OP is still correct. You posted what you posted to pretend that you had a "gotcha" moment and it slipped your grasp.

And Protest in a restricted building is civil disobedience when the left does it. One thing we know. It wasn't sedition, at least according to the Grand Jury.

Correct. OTOH, it's like saying the Watergate burglars were not connected to the White House despite it being an open investigation at the time.

Things take time, as they should in order to be thorough.

The Watergate break-in was June 17, 1972. On February 7, 1973, the United States Senate voted 77-to-0 to investigate Watergate. On March 1, 1974, a grand jury indicts the "Watergate Seven". Nixon resigned from office on August 9, 1974 after several of his staff were convicted of crimes or, mostly, took plea deals.

I expect most of the guilty to take plea deals and take down the House of Cards.

The Trump cards. <--- see what I did there? :laugh:
 
They have identified most of them and the major player was impeached back in January, and they are still looking at charging more.

Do not be surprised if some are charged with sedition, but even those that are not are facing serious charges that could land them in prison for a long time.
And how did that impeachment go. Was that "major player" convicted of inciting the riot?

And where are they going to trial these rioters that committed sedition? A FEDERAL COURTHOUSE like the one they are trying to burn down in Portland? THAT my friend is why the Capital building and the Federal Courthouse are equal symbols of the authority of the US government.

Nixon had nothing to do with the Watergate break-in. The Watergate break-in was a massive NOTHING burger. Nixon was going to win in a massive landslide. The media made it into a massive deal in order to destroy the man who made their guy look like a dunce.

Thank you, sir, for epitomizing the mindset of the Republican Party. Truly and sincerely. Your thoughts are the predominant view pervading the Republican mindset. You're a winner, sir. A true representative of the Republican Party.

Do you do much work with them?

Did I say something that wasn't a fact? Where? Thanks for illustrating what a dishonest, uneducated dumbass you are. :palm:

Your thoughts are the predominant view pervading the Republican mindset.

What specific thoughts are those? The ones where I am devoted to liberty and our Constitution? You give new meaning to the term dishonest dunce.

You're a winner, sir. A true representative of the Republican Party.

Thank you. Meanwhile, you're a dishonest whiny loser. The poster child for all that is wrong with the Democratic Party of the Jackass. :thumsbup:

Do you do much work with them?

Not in the least. I do tend to vote for them because they are less dishonest and stupid than your every day Democrat. Try to be less stupid and pathetic. :palm:
 
Every Antifa and BLM insurrectionist should be brought to answer for the law.

They are not insurrectionists. They are not threatening the existence of the US. They are trying to get it to live up to its so-called beliefs of quality and fairness. This is really pretty easy to understand.

I would be perfectly OK, OJ, if they picked you up just for making the above comment.
If we can't have Democracy, Alt Right Nation won't ever be the second choice.

Is that a denial or not? You seem evasive.

Do you really believe Nixon had nothing to do with Watergate? If not, then who?
 
Just because no one has been charged with sedition YET doesn't mean those charges aren't coming.

Agreed.

OTOH, you know as well as me that people who "assume" facts are often are fools who end up in the brig. :flagsal:

You know as well as I do that the 1/6 rioteers were mostly idiots except for the militia who tried to execute an op.

Their failure should be say something to you.
 
They are not insurrectionists.
BULLSHIT. Antifa and BLM arte insurrectionists, just as the Democrat party is.
They are not threatening the existence of the US.
THEY ARE DOING EXACTLY THAT.
They are trying to get it to live up to its so-called beliefs of quality and fairness.
Lie.
The goal of BLM is to defund and dismantle police. It is racist. It is violent. It is even now still burning, looting, and pillaging.
The coal of Antifa is to implement fascism by violence. It is the exact opposite of it's name.
Both are funded and supported by Democrats. Both are violent factions used by Democrats to further the goals of the Democrats, which is to implement an oligarchy to implement fascism. This they have done with the federal government. The United States has ceased to exist BECAUSE OF THE DEMOCRATS.

Democrats do not recognize the Constitution of the United States nor any State constitution.

This is really pretty easy to understand.

I abhor democracy. It is an unstable form of government. It usually rather quickly dissolves into an oligarchy or dictatorship. There are currently no democracies anywhere in the world.
