4 key points about Trump and ‘incitement’ law

[Counselor706]

If and when the Senate holds its second impeachment trial of Donald Trump, this time after he no longer is president, one argument in his defense may well be based on a legal precedent that has guided incitement cases since 1969.

The House of Representatives impeached the president Wednesday for “incitement to insurrection” because of Trump’s speech at a rally a week earlier as Congress began to debate objections to certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory. That protest Jan. 6 turned into a deadly riot when a mob of hundreds overran security and broke into the Capitol.

Here are four things to know about the crime of incitement.

And here is the one thing to know about Senate conviction on impeachment charges:

If the votes are there to convict, case law makes no difference. This would not be appealable even to the Supreme Court, let alone to porn board attorneys like you and Harpy.

trumps incitement was years in the making and then intense as the election season started. As far as I am concerned you don't start the prosecution on the day of the riot.

I think the person who needs the education on impeachment is you.

FTR Trump has been impeached, twice now. I would have thought you figured out the process the first time around, but I guess you are pretty hard headed.

Congratulations Counselor706,

You finally posted a source with a 'mostly factual' rating, unlike Breitbart of the Blaze which regularly post conspiracy theories news. I don't claim to read all of your posts but most of the sources I've seen you post are shit. You see? There are actually some more reputable, albeit still biased, conservative news sources.
