Plotted to block the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory: Check. Discussed bringing weapons into Washington to aid in the plan: Check. Succeeded with co-insurrectionists, if only temporarily, in stopping Congress from carrying out a vital constitutional duty: Check.
Accusations against Jan. 6 rioter Thomas Caldwell certainly seem to fit the charge of sedition as it’s generally understood — inciting revolt against the government. And the possibility of charging him and others was widely discussed after thousands of pro-Trump supporters assaulted scores of police officers, defaced the U.S. Capitol and hunted for lawmakers to stop the certification. Some called their actions treasonous.
But to date, neither Caldwell nor any of the other more than 500 defendants accused in the attack has been indicted for sedition or for the gravest of crimes a citizen can face, treason. And as an increasing number of lesser charges are filed and defendants plead guilty, those accusations may never be formally levied. …

It was a protest. A mostly peaceful protest.
I consider the Associated Press traitors.
Their trials will be in the fall of 2022. In time for the elections.
Traitors, no. Idiots, yes.
LOL that’s rich.
Dems calling NON-DEMS traitors.
They never gave a damn about treason until Jan 6 2021, or about Russia until Trump.
Caldwell, 66, who has back pain that he says is exacerbated by detention, was not among the members of the Oath Keepers who stormed the Capitol. US District Judge Amit Mehta said there is no direct evidence that he planned to enter the building. He also noted that Caldwell had cooperated with FBI agents when they came to interview him.
Along with the Senators and Representatives. No, these were not traitors but they were stupid to fall into the trap they fell for. They were also stupid to not realize that they were miles in enemy territory and act accordingly. And they were stupid not to realize that the Government is their and our enemy.
Worse than traitors. Patriots.
“...Caldwell had cooperated with FBI agents when they came to interview him.”
__________________________________________________________
That was his first mistake.
He should have not said anything to these jackbooted thugs until he had at least one attorney present and the interview was videotaped with Caldwell retaining a copy.
The Democrats and the FedGov Leo’s are the traitors . The rotten , despicable Intel weenies , the deep State shitheads...these are the real traitors
# no!!!
The Marxist/Stasi scumbags are the traitors!!!
The BLM and Antifa infiltrators in MAGA gear were the rioters, along with the FBI instigators.
Good one.
The real MAGA people were let in by the Capitol police and walked inside the ropes.
Jan 6 “rioter” prosecutors would be traitors.
“Fake news? Check.”
Indeed.
Redressing grievances is not treason.
The traitors were inside the Capitol.
Dems can claim Trump didn’t win in 2016 for four years and counting; Dems can claim Gore won in 2000; Dems can be already suggesting GOP’s electoral reforms are all about fraud in 2024.
yet this is taboo???
12 July: Washington Examiner: Tucker Carlson teases ‘new evidence’ of voter fraud in Georgia’s Fulton County
by Daniel Chaitin
Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he will examine “new evidence” of voter fraud in Fulton County, Georgia, on his show Wednesday.
He told his audience Monday he has not done “many segments” on voter fraud since January, which included the U.S. Capitol riot and President Joe Biden’s inauguration, noting how there have been multiple unfounded claims. But Carlson also said there is good reason to explore some of the allegations more than eight months after the November election.
“There are some very irresponsible claims going around that in the end couldn’t be proven because they weren’t true, but there are also some claims that may be true, and it’s worth knowing,” he said. “If you care about democracy, you can’t tolerate fraud, so was there voter fraud in November? Well again, on Wednesday, we are going to take a very close look at that, including some new evidence from Fulton County, Georgia.”...
