Charge &Try Trump & his allies for Treason
Bring charges of treason against Donald Trump and his Republican allies and supporters (including, “Proud Boys,” and Ted Cruz and all who were planning to object to the election results on January 6th). They were/are an assemblage..for a treasonable purpose, effecting by force a treasonable object...all those who performed any part, however remote from the scene of action and who were actually leagued in the general conspiracy, to be considered as traitors. This was a planned, organized insurrection achieved by use of the Internet and social media. Mobs, encouraged by Trump and others such as Rudy Giuliani calling for “trial by combat,” intimidated Congress, or attempted to do so, with the goal of betraying the government and the Constitution of the United States, by overturning the presidential election, ultimately by burning the Electoral College votes.
Why is this important?
Because what has happened today, and in the weeks since the election, Trump has invited, incited and encouraged incendiary rhetoric and actions, violence and insurrection. Today, at the rally, Trump said again that his election was stolen and that his”very special” supporters should “do something about it.” The VP Mike Pence, had to defy Trump by refusing to overturn the election results stating that would be unconstitutional. This is an unacceptable precedent to be set in our country with Trump supporters smuggling firearms into DC and threatening to kill people if Congress refused to make Trump president. As of this moment, the Capitol was breached and one woman has been shot and killed. Two incendiary devices have been discovered. Rioters threw chemical irritants on and at the police. Even George W Bush spoke out strongly against what he called this “insurrection.” He rebuked Senator Cruz et al for their reckless and irresponsible behavior. This is NOT the way to run a democracy. It is not a lesson we want to pass on to our children - that one can lie and bully his way into the presidency. It is alarming, it is dangerous, and it is a disgrace. Does anyone want to go through this again in 4 years?
