Capitol Rioters May Face Sedition Charges

Tuesday, January 12, 2021

The Justice Department is considering bringing sedition or conspiracy charges against people who rioted at the U.S. Capitol last week. "We're looking at significant felony cases tied to sedition and conspiracy," said Michael Sherwin, acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. "We're going to focus on the most significant charges as a deterrent." If found guilty, the rioters could face prison terms of up to 20 years, Sherwin said.

They also said they were pursuing Felony Murder, which means everyone there could be charged with Felony Murder.

The Justice Department is still Trump's justice department ~ at least for another week. (unfortunately)

However well intended, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia might find himself suddenly unemployed if he keeps threatening Trump's army like that.

It's not a good idea to participate in an insurrection.

I don't care what color you are.

They better have good lawyers.

It would only be like taking a few days off.

They should rest up anyway. They will be gainfully employed for at least four years after Jan 20th. Probably 8 years. Then it gets worse for the maggots. Then it will be Kamala hunting them down.

Regardless, the great MAGA Man Hunt of 2021 has just begun.
