1. Could a reasonable juror find @POTUS @RealDonaldTrump called for armed irregular troops at the polls? In the first debate Chris Wallace asked whether trump would call on his supporters to stay calm and desist from civil unrest in the immediate aftermath of the

2. election. Trump replied: “I’m urging my supporters to go into the polls and watch very carefully, because that’s what has to happen. I’m urging them to do it.”

The US constitution's supremacy "trumps" state laws. State open carry laws do not void the federal laws protecting

3.polling places.

IMO Title 18 U.S. Code § 592.Troops at polls makes Trump's statement a federal crime.

"Whoever, being an officer of the Army or Navy, or other person in the civil, military, or naval service of the United States, orders, brings, keeps, or has under his

4. authority or control any troops or armed men at any place where a general or special election is held, unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both;

5. and be disqualified from holding any office of honor, profit, or trust under the United States."

So besides @Trump, who failed to retract his criminal statement, who else might be charged under this statute? Conspiracy to violate it might include a vast number of @WhiteHouse

6. @WHNSC and @GOP party officials. In the impacted states, organizers/leaders of the militia groups, the @NRA officials would also be covered by the statute. So, the key on Election day is to gather as much information on the people going armed to the polls and the people

7. encouraging them so that, if they are part of a militia, the leaders and the supporting political leaders can be charged. Politicians including elected politicians in states like Michigan who show agreement to a conspiracy to send armed troops to the polls are also not

8. immune from federal charges. So it's important to identify the local and state politicians who are implicated. The armed terrorist forces must be identified. Time stamped phone camera videos and photos that can be authenticated by the @FBI will permit a sweep of the

9. states that have suffered these crimes such that the militia groups may be guaranteeing their own demise by following Trump's unlawful command.

10. And Fun Fact: I came up with settlement terms for Ruby Ridge settlement in a kitchen on Nantucket across the street from John Kerry's house. The war on terror has come to America and the terrorists are going to the polls. #ThisIsNotADrill. @FBIWFO @FBIMiamiF @FBIDallas
