Why Trump should be charged with rebellion or insurrection

Watergate prosecutor says slapping Trump with a charge of rebellion or insurrection could prevent him from ever holding office again

Jill Wine-Banks, a Watergate prosecutor, said charging former President Donald Trump with rebellion or insurrection would prevent him from holding political office again.

During an MSNBC appearance on Friday, Wine-Banks was asked whether she thought Trump would at least be indicted for obstruction of justice. She suggested that one of the "best" crimes to indict the former president of would be rebellion or insurrection, an offense under Title 18 of the US Code, Section 2383.

"I think it would be horrible not to act on what is now blatantly obvious to anyone who has watched the hearings," Wine-Banks said.

She noted that unlike a seditious conspiracy charge, a rebellion or insurrection charge would see the convicted offender barred from "ever holding federal office again."

Wine-Banks called the penalty a "more important goal than jailing the former president."

She added that Trump could face several other charges based on the testimonies presented at the January 6 hearings.

"There is, of course, obstruction of Congress, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, so many things just based on Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony," Wine-Banks said.

In April, Wine-Banks said she believed Trump's potentially criminal actions on January 6,2021, could be "incalculably worse" than those of former President Richard Nixon.

She has also joined figures like former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney in commenting on criminal charges Trump could face. Mulvaney, for one, has claimed that the January 6 panel may have evidence that could lead to Trump being hit with obstruction of justice charges.

Keeping this dangerous lunatic away from the WH should be the main focus, rather than just punishment or revenge.

How about just running a better candidate and beat him? Keep him out that way. ????

Trump is a con artist who made chumps out of half the voters once.

He could do it again.

Never underestimate human stupidity or overestimate their intelligence.

Trump is living proof of that.

Obvious Trump is guilty of a violent coup attempt.

Valid point, however as we have seen, that exact thing happened in 2020 and yet a third of the nation, a political party, and major news network wouldn’t admit it, so you should see there is more happening here than just the best candidate wins

You want a violent overthrow of our government. You are a traitor.

So the Hell with the law?

Now the far left want to charge and convict Trump just so he cannot run again.




Every POTUS breaks the law.
Both sides.
Even the left's beloved Obama did by ordering the murder of an American citizen without trial.

And I bet you EVERY POTUS would do whatever it took to get a second term.
Even breaking the law.

The only difference with Trump was he was too simple/stupid to do it subtly.

Sometimes the better candidate loses.

That is a lie.

Obviously, you do not know what the word 'lie' actually means in this context.

Bye now.

So we can repeat Jan 6th when he loses?

Sometimes the better candidate loses.

There’s got to be a reason for that.
