Sorry, we're cross-posting.

It doesn't say anything about having to be charged or convicted of insurrection.

No, but as with all the elements of the Constitution, this is backed up by US Code. See the links to Title 50 and Title 18 which contain the laws pertaining to the 14th amendment.

One cannot be charged simply by citing an element of the Constitution, there must be a law to be indicted against by a grand jury (according to the fifth amendment).

I hope Trump has a lawyer who will rip him to shreds on the stand against this ridiculous accusation.

Even if the “mob” did such a thing, how does that tie to President Trump who told them to protest peacefully or go home?

The way I see it, this POS isn’t qualified to testify about anything other than Chinese honey traps. I will say this for him, at least it was a female spy that he went for, and an adult one, at that. Can’t say so much for many of his fellow Congresscritters.

Shouldn’t he be HANGED for espionage for banging the Chinese spy Fang Fang while on the Intelligence Committee?

Do Democrat judges have to follow the US Code? I thought they were allowed to make up the law on the spot.
