No evidence of Sedition

[Legion]

The sedition definition includes the phrase" delay the execution of law"? They were attempting to stop the certification of the electoral college votes. They were committing sedition.

Yet none of the accused are being charged with it, are they, Nerdsperg?

 

[Darth Omar]

Where did the DOJ make these statements?

All we have is this sentence from The Post Millennial. They gave no source.


"The Department of Justice has since said that a portion of the evidence is not actually quite as damning as was previously believed."

The raging question is what basis was there to believe the charges would ever rise to sedition, to begin with?

Myself and others were pointing out months ago that the alleged insurrectionists were woefully unprepared for anything but a slaughter/suicide mission the minute they tried to ‘overthrow the government’ since it would be a *limited* amount of hand weapons vs armed resistance.

‘Lack of planning’ would be an understatement.

"News" reports, lol.

‘Lack of planning’ would be an understatement.

And now we know that they didn't use Parler as an accomplice.

In the days after the Capitol protest on January 6, 2021, Big Tech moved against the conservative alternative social media platform, Parler, on the premise that the protesters used Parler to plan the "attack on the Capitol" and that Parler had failed in its responsibility to prevent such coordination.

Based on this narrative, Apple and Google removed Parler from their app stores and Amazon removed Parler’s internet hosting.

Yet on Thursday, Parler flipped the narrative on its head.

Parler sent a response to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform’s request for documents regarding the riot.

In that response, Parler revealed that it had “proactively developed an open line of communication with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the fall of 2020 and referred violent content and incitement from Parler’s platform over 50 times before January 6th. Parler also warned the FBI about specific threats of violence being planned for the events at the Capitol on January 6th.”

The letter details Parler’s efforts “to flag and remove unlawful speech from its platform that was not protected by the First Amendment.” It also notes that of the 270 charging documents filed by the Department of Justice, 80 percent of social media references involved Big Tech platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. “Only 5% referred to Parler.”

The letter goes on to explain that Parler accumulated over 15 million users by January 2021 and its app was the most downloaded app at the Apple App Store and the Google U.S. Play Store on January 8, 2021.

The company’s press release connected the dots.

“Big Tech rivals Facebook and Twitter saw Parler as a viable threat and ganged up with Amazon and others to de-platform and destroy the Company. Big Tech has been effectively scapegoating Parler for the riots at the Capitol, but Parler’s revelations today show that the Company acted responsibly to try and stop the violence at the Capitol on January 6th,” the press release concluded.

Along with the letter and the press release, Parler provided the emails alerting the FBI to incitements to violence on Parler’s social media platform. The company repeatedly warned its FBI contact about the potential for violence on January 6.

In one email, Parler forwarded a message from a user who called for “an armed force of American Patriots 150,000… prepared to react to the congressional events of January 6th … And follow what the Declaration of Independence has dictated to do in situations of absolute despotism.”

“One more from same account. More where this came from. Concerned about Wednesday,” a Parler employee wrote to the FBI contact on January 2, the Saturday before the events of Wednesday, January 6.

Contrary to the Big Tech narrative, Parler did its due diligence and reported threats of violence to the FBI in advance of the Capitol protest. These actions, coupled with the fact that Parler only appeared in 5 percent of the DOJ’s charging documents, completely flips the Big Tech narrative on its head. The Capitol protesters did coordinate on Parler, in part, but they also did so on other social media platforms.

Parler was not negligent in its duty to remove incitements to violence, as Amazon, Apple, and Google claimed.

In fact, it removed those incitements and altered the FBI about them.

[Nordberg]

then WHY is DOJ saying they don't have enough evidence?????

I do not know, but that are wrong. That comes from the sedition definition.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

I do not know, but that are wrong. That comes from the sedition definition.

then I suggest you talk to them, show them where they are wrong...........

Risible.

 

[Damocles]

So, no big deal. Got it.

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.

 

[Nordberg]

then I suggest you talk to them, show them where they are wrong...........

The Trumps cases have barely begun. Hang into your MAGA hat it will be a bumpy ride.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Aren’t these the minor players being charged first?

Yes. The militia leaders and members are still being investigated. Consider Ghislaine Maxwell is still in prison and not all of her charges are known. Major criminal charges can take a year or more to process.

I've offered to bet on the outcome, but no takers.

 

[Into the Night]

so now the DOJ is right wing?????

He's chanting. Didja notice?

 

[Into the Night]

first off, sure there is evidence of it. maybe you need to read the legal definition of sedition-

18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
U.S. Code
Notes
prev | next
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; July 24, 1956, ch. 678, § 1, 70 Stat. 623; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(N), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)

they seized control of the capitol by force. and other property therein. they have admitted, many of them, their goal was to overturn the election results that all 50 states had certified to.

slam dunk.

next question.

There was no election. State legislatures were overturned by Congress, which voted to uphold election fraud.

OTHER THAN THE ENTIRE RUSSIA LIE, WHICH WAS BLATANT SEDITION,....

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.

One problem


One of your top racists called it that himself when PLANNING this evil



Cold hard undeniable FACTS


You are completely fucked now

 

[Into the Night]

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.

No one was impeached in January. You cannot impeach someone that is not in office.

Calling that event sedition was embarrassingly stupid. Sad that the morons in the DNC can't comprehend the OBVIOUS.

[Into the Night]

give me a quote by the judge saying sedition charges will not be brought

it's you with a reading comprehension problem

is the investigation over yet?

Attempted force of negative proof. That's a fallacy, dude.

 

[Into the Night]

Are you suggesting that these insurrectionists should be acquitted by the letter of the law and then somehow disappear after leaving the courtroom?
I don't quite get that from your post, unfortunately,
but I can't criticize it as a bad idea.
Joe might not have the balls, but I have faith in Kamela's man parts.

Every Antifa and BLM insurrectionist should be brought to answer for the law.

 

[Into the Night]

Who told you that?

He's quoting fiction, like usual.
