It's very frustrating that he has to receive that message in the general election thus dragging down the entire ticket.

Oh, it'd get struck down post haste. But the fact that it would get to that point means some D somewhere tried and that's all DJT would need to basically say, "see, I told you...all that "democracy" shit that they're talking about -- they want to completely rig the election."

I mean, there isn't a single level where this isn't preposterously stupid.

Agreed.

But I am not at all confident. What if a DC jury might find Trump guilty of sedition? The conviction would be appealed, but it would give the Dems a constitutional argument that he cannot be on the ballot.

I'll start thinking about a possible conviction when he's indicted for sedition or treason. Until then...

They just convicted the proud boys leader for 22 years! For pretty much inciting a crowd to practice free speech. Wasn't even in the Capital. If he can get sedition why not Trump.

Most corrupt DOJ in the history of the US...

Yep. Practicing free speech.

Jesus, can you get more delusional. That piece of shit deserves every minute of that 22 years.

BTW it was a Trump-appointed, Federalist Society member, and longtime Republican Senate aide who gave him 22 years.

Alright, when are the rioters who took over federal buildings in the George Floyd aftermath getting 22 years. None. In fact none of those got any time.

You have evidence to back up that claim?

Wrong. Here is a death toll on both sides from 1/6 riots (the attemtped insurrection/coup)

Snipped from the article:

WASHINGTON — As a pro-Trump protest turned into a violent attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6 last year, four people in the crowd died.

• Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer as rioters tried to breach the House chamber.
• Kevin D. Greeson died of a heart attack, collapsing on the sidewalk west of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
• Rosanne Boyland appeared to have been crushed in a stampede of fellow rioters as they surged against the police.
• Benjamin Philips, the founder of a pro-Trump website called Trumparoo, died of a stroke.

Mr. Greeson and Mr. Philips died of natural causes, the Washington medical examiner said in April. He added that Ms. Boyland’s death was caused by an accidental overdose.

In the days and weeks after the riot, five police officers who had served at the Capitol on Jan. 6 died.

• Officer Brian D. Sicknick of the Capitol Police, who was attacked by the mob, died on Jan. 7.
• Officer Jeffrey Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department killed himself after the attack.
• Officer Howard S. Liebengood of the Capitol Police also died by suicide four days afterward.
