1. Is @FoxNews" giving aid and comfort" to insurrectionists? Can the sponsors, hosts, directors, producers, writers, managers, and directors be charged under 18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection?
2. "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
3. incapable of holding any office under the United States."
What have courts defined to constitute "aid and comfort?" The crime is also part of the treason statute and is addressed in cases of people charged with treason. Words alone can constitute aid and comfort.

8. without hope. We presume that only life would be sought but a former president and his/her family thinking that the traitor has successfully pardoned them with these dubious pardons, will find the pardons will not protect them from a state charge.
9. The Trump conspirators should think twice about these pardons that may move the resolution of their fate from the federal system and the more comfortable federal facilities to the accommodations reserved for prisoners charged with a heinous offense to be housed in state
