    It’s just really something to think about isn’t it, but the reality is that’s exactly what’s likely to happen if Trump wins the electoral college. What makes someone the president ultimately is the chief Justice swearing in the new president. You can’t really do that over zoom.

    good post; my point is that "crimes and misdemeanors" do not have any specific meaning in relation to the US criminal code. So, conviction by the senate in an impeachment proceeding is not the same as conviction in a criminal court.

    Six Additional Oath Keepers Members and Affiliates Found Guilty of Charges Related to Capitol Breach
    On the afternoon of January 6, around 1:30 p.m., Oath Keepers leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, who was convicted in an earlier trial of seditious conspiracy and related charges, sent a message on an encrypted group chat announcing that Vice President Michael R. Pence would not intercede to stop Congress’ certification of the electoral college vote, and so “patriots” were taking matters into their own hands. Moments later, Defendants Sandra Parker, Bennie Parker, Laura Steele, Connie Meggs, and William Isaacs joined with other Oath Keepers members and affiliates in marching towards the Capitol. They donned paramilitary gear such as helmets and vests. They passed barricades and Capitol Police officers and entered the restricted area of the Capitol grounds. Then Sandra Parker, Steele, Connie Meggs, and Isaacs joined with ten co-conspirators in placing hands on shoulders and marching up the steps and into the Capitol in a military “stack” formation.

    Once inside, half of the group—including Sandra Parker, Steele, and Isaacs—tried to force their way past riot police officers towards the Senate Chamber. The other half of the group—including Connie Meggs—moved towards the House Chamber, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s office. In the words of Kelly Meggs, a co-conspirator who was convicted in an earlier trial of seditious conspiracy and related charges, the group was looking for Speaker Pelosi.

    While Greene denied the Oath Keepers engaged in any planned effort to attack the Capitol, prosecutors cited private messages he had sent to a Signal chat members of the group communicated in during the course of the riot, including one saying, "We're storming the Capitol" and another where he noted how rioters had invaded then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office.

    So team Trump was doing exactly what they were accusing democrats of doing with voting machine tampering.

    Cool.

    No wonder trump is now focusing on attacking the GA prosecutor. She seems to have more receipts.

    Every accusation a confession.

    Someone should remind pence that lying like this might be a crime if he lied to the courts... and it is a sin.

    Either we are a country of laws and respect for the court, or we are not. The Judge should put trump in jail.

    His retweeting this on his site is the same as him saying it. That goes with Trump standing next to Gaetz as he legitimizing the use of force. The judge needs to get tougher on Trump. He is blatantly trying to test the judge.

    He's such a child. Waa waaa, I'm a victim. Here I go making middle school humor by name calling. He has no civil rights is the biggest joke of all. He's a damn criminal! He chose to break laws! His calling anyone holding him accountable communists is straight up BS. Again, how in the hell can people support this sociopath?
