The Sedition Party Threatens Political Violence To Intimidate The DOJ Into Not Investigating Trump

The Sedition Party Threatens Political Violence To Intimidate The Department Of Justice Into Not Investigating Donald Trump and His Coup Plotters


The Republican Party aka the Sedition Party is engaged in an ongoing slow-motion insurrection against the U.S. government. The seditious insurrection on January 6, 2021 was not a one-off event.

Now the Sedition Party is threatening political violence, acting out their civil war cosplay fantasies, to intimidate the Department of Justice into not investigating Donald Trump and his co-conspirator Coup Plotters, which undoubtedly includes Republican members of Congress (and state level Republican politicians).

We know for a fact that 147 Republican lawmakers still objected to the election results even after the Capitol attack, carrying out the coup plot and giving aid and comfort to the violent insurrectionists. 18 USC §2383. Rebellion or insurrection:

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

The Hill reports, Republicans warn Justice Department probe of Trump would trigger political war:

Republican lawmakers are warning that any Department of Justice prosecution of former President Trump will turn into a political battle, setting a high bar for Attorney General Merrick Garland to act on an expected criminal referral from the House’s Jan. 6 committee.

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol previewed its likely referral to the Justice Department in a court filing made public last week and experts say the evidence assembled by House investigators would provide a strong impetus for prosecutors to act.

But Republican lawmakers and strategists warn that any federal prosecution of Trump will be accused of being politically motivated [this is news?], boost Trump within the GOP and turn into a partisan food fight at a time when President Biden is pivoting to the center and trying to keep his 2020 campaign promise to unify the country.

...threats are the same ones "most likely to succeed" - at being at least indicted.
