How will the SCOTUS ruling that presidents have immunity while in office affect this?
Is treason covered?
“Send the bastards to Guantanamo Bay ... every last one of them he/she libtard/rhino...”
Maybe this is the real reason they remodeled the facility at Guantanamo.
Don't forget, we still haven't seen "suicide weekend."
if only they would suffer the consequences of a firing squad upon conviction of treason
That such treason trials occurred without a declared war validates my earlier statement, "A person can be charged and tried for treason with or without an officially declared war." The verdicts of such trials are irrelevant to the point.
Further confirming my earlier statement is the fact that trials also have been conducted by individual states against persons violating that state's treason law. (As a side note, some of the trials ended with convictions.)
“And along with it will come an even greater uptick in serious violence from the left if they perceive their situation deteriorating further.”
And along with it will come an even greater uptick in lawful arrest from the authorities as they perceive their situation growing stronger.
Playtime is over.
They were a failure primarily because they didn’t hold up legally! So your goal is to make a big splash and not actually accomplish anything.
Let’s hold the trials in Ankeny IA.
That’s what we voted for!
I don't know for sure, but I read that a conspiracy may open the option of multiple venues. The CIA is located in Virginia which is in a different appellate court district than DC. Trump changed his residency to Florida in 2019. When he got raided in Florida for the document case, it had to be moved to Florida from DC.
AMEN!
Can’t wait
Treason trials in federal and state courts have been conducted and some have resulted in convictions. My earlier statement still stands.
Reily @167: "So your goal is to make a big splash and not actually accomplish anything."
Resorting to an ad hominem accusation does not overturn my earlier statement.
I think all the networks are already covering it. Or was that just a wishful comment?
Similar to state treason is the following , there was this in 1992, the Tonawanda Band of Seneca convicted several members of treason, stripped their tribal membership, and sentenced them to permanent banishment from the Tonawanda Reservation.
Recently Taliban John Lindh Walker who did bear arms against the US wasn't charged with treason. They obviously didn't think they could make the charge stick.
Now as far as an “ad hominem” attack goes. I did not attack you personally if you think I did you need to look up the meaning of the expression! I simply disagreed with any idea that treason will be a charge that will result in a conviction. It will more likely result in an acquittal. Aaron Burr committed treason but the Federal Government couldn't make the case. He was acquitted and because of that the treason bar got set higher. So the question is do you want these people to pay for their crimes with an appropriate charge and conviction or do you want the satisfaction of a treason charge that won't stick?
Compromised data? Oh, you mean documentary evidence. Got it!☺
trying to display the stupidity thats going around here these days...
A whole lotta freepers jumped on the “Get over Epstein” bandwagon, mainly due the “FACTS” that the evidence is tampered with to implicate republicans...
At the very same time, we a hit the 6 months mark and absolutely no one has been hauled in yet for fraud uncovered by DOGE early on... and many of the same freepers are still preaching patience!! “We cant afford acquittals due to impatient thinking”...
So, how long does it take for a case, and how long does it take for them to “Tamper with Evidence” to implicate Republicans!!!??? HHhhhhhhhhmmmmmm!!?????
its a friggin joke!!
No, they ruled that immunity would apply to Trump for some acts, but not all acts.
