I'd love to see his own handpicked DOJ testifying under Oath yet again that he ordered them to send a letter to States telling them it was OK to switch his name for Biden's on the Electoral Ballots they were sending to Congress.

And his Secret Service folks verifying that he had them turn off the metal detectors at the Rally where he riled them up and sent them to storm the Capitol, telling them he was right behind them... HA!

His problem might be that the only lawyer that would defend him would be Alan Dershowitz.

And, of course, Jeffy Turley!

On a more serious note, others who should go to Prison for a very long time for this seditious conspiracy* include **John Eastman and his cronies at the Claremont Institute who came up with conspiracy for Trump, and Cheesbro and several others.

"Seditious conspiracy (18 U.S.C. 2384) is a federal crime involving two or more people who conspire to overthrow the U.S. government, oppose its authority by force, or hinder the execution of its laws.

It is a serious charge carrying up to 20 years in prison, often used against violent plots to challenge federal authority, such as in the Jan. 6 Capitol attacks."

"Have been on Capitol Hill all day. We are in a constitutional crisis and also in a revolutionary moment," Brian Kennedy, the president emeritus and senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, tweeted on Jan. 5. "We must embrace the spirit of the American Revolution to stop this communist revolution. #HoldTheLine."

"Our focus can now return to what this effort has always been about: Collecting signatures from Libby to Sidney and continuing to build a grassroots movement led by everyday Montanan," Mangan said in a statement.

"The Montana Plan is about giving people a real voice in their elections " not allowing big money to drown that voice out " and we're proud to keep that work moving forward."

Mangan, a former Montana Commissioner of Political Practices, said the idea leverages the state's ability to regulate corporations in state law and would be used to reign in corporate spending, while still allowing a path for political action committees to operate.

Artificial persons, as defined in Montana Law, include non-profits, trusts, partnerships, corporations, trade associations, or unincorporated associations and includes all such entities doing business in Montana " including those registered out of state.

The idea has made headlines nationally as a way to oppose Citizens United, an unpopular decision.
