Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade, appearing this morning on MSNBC, speaking to the charges that the malignant former guy might face in connection with the January 6 insurrection:
"We've got this 187 minutes when [Trump] sat and did nothing despite the fact that he knew that this violence and destruction was occurring. Is it because it was all part of a larger plan? So I think, in addition to that obstruction statute that Congresswoman Cheney has mentioned, I think we could also look at conspiracy to defraud the United States -- that just means trying to impede the normal functioning of government -- all the way up to seditious conspiracy. I think all of those potential crimes are in play." (our emphasis)
The seditious conspiracy charge should be a no-brainer, and should apply to all of Trump's henchmen, from Bannon to Giuliani to Meadows, and including the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. In other words, his circle of seditionists.
