    This new January 6th indictment of Trump is great… But I’m disappointed we didn’t see Trump charge specifically with inciting the insurrection.

    Among other things, Trump should be held legally responsible for the death of Ashli Babbitt. She would not have died but for Trump’s lies and incitement.

    It sure seems like the Felony Murder Rule should apply here.

      That’s not off the table. And anything can be added / charged in the future.

        Unless he becomes president first and pardons himself

          He could still technically run for president after he’s in jail. A guy named Lyndon Larouche did it in 1992
