You're viewing a single thread.
He needs to be jailed for many things. But especially Stochastic Terrorism.
Unfortunately the legal system from the Attorney General to the fbi to judge are scared of him.
This is a person who a judge found to have committed insurrection but decided he should not face the loss of eligibility clearly specified in the constitution because "the president is not an officer of the United States".
If they're willing to just make shit up like that, he's already won.
As if THE PRESIDENT is NOT the HIGHEST officer the United States has.
You'd think that the "Oath of Office" being specified in the constitution would provide a hint.
Commander in Chief.
I've read that was actually a good strategy. She ruled that he absolutely did so an insurrection. Then she said the law doesn't apply because a weird easily reversible interpretation. So it's going to get appealed and easily reversed in a higher court based on a review of the law's inclusion of POTUS as an officer, not relitigating the insurrection part. She gets to skip the death threat phase for herself and alli oops this one for the higher court to slam dunk. I hope that's the case.
Frankly, that's turd-polishing.
This judge made a crazy decision in order to dodge her responsibility.
Trump's team are already appealing the ruling that he engaged in insurrection. The hearing is set for Dec 6th, so they will be re litigating that part.
I think the fear is that the higher courts also don't want death threats, so everyone and their mother is gonna keep trying to pass this around. Which is what Trump wants to happen until he can try to get re-elected in 2024 and then pardon himself.
The judge argues that commander in chief is not a military office under 14a3. Power loves cowards
It lists a shitload of non-military officers as being made ineligible by the same clause. I don't see how that's relevant.
Just call it terrorism. "Stochastic" has too many syllables.
