I want to walk through jury instructions on seditious conspiracy to demonstrate the vagueness of the charge and how easy it is to prove.
Just look at (2)--this could apply to essentially any political protest on the federal level.
So agreeing to a "conspiracy" (I'll get to that laughable definition in a moment) to interfere in the execution of federal law is "seditious" but oh btw it's not necessary for DOJ to prove that the accused knew which law they conspired to break🤔
There are not enough LOLs in the world for this.
One prosecutor told Proud Boys jury that a "wink and a nod" constitutes agreement to a conspiracy.
Now do you see the low bar to indict Trump?
But it says "by force!" Here's DOJs burden of proof.
Basically none.
Further, what "force" was used when no one brought a weapon, no one assaulted police, and some (Nordean) walked through an open door WITH POLICE RIGHT THERE.
Further, Enrique Tarrio was in Baltimore on Jan 6
Consider how this would apply to nearly every protest in Washington, especially climate demonstrations and Kavanaugh confirmation process.
This is conspiracy to obstruct Congress.

Ok 6th appellate court had wrong link for oral arguments in Fox/Croft Whitmer fednapping hoax.
Croft atty up 1st. He will discuss court's decision to prevent jury from seeing hundreds of incriminating comms btw FBI handlers and informants that demonstrated the entrapment scheme
Croft atty: "The judge really put the bar down on that."(There were roughly 200+ messages the defense wanted to enter into evidence. Judge said no.)
Croft points to appellate court ruling that supports disclosure of those messages to jury. "It is made for this case, where entrapment is so critical where you do have communication between govt agents."
2 Trump, one Biden judge on the panel btw.
Judge asks which messages should have been admitted. "All 3 informants?" Referring to Dan Chappel, Steve Robeson, and Jenny Plunk.
"Yes your honor."
Chappel and Robeson were primarily responsible for luring the targets into the trap, paying for food/booze/lodging, scheduling "training" camps and most importantly, organizing the "reconnaissance" trip to Whitmer's summer cottage in Sept 2020.
Not only is Judge Cannon exposing DOJ corruption, it appears she is about to open a can of whoop ass on DC court, namely ex chief Judge Beryl Howell.
Cannon seems poised to release info related to Howell's order piercing atty-client privilege btw Trump and attorney Evan Corcoran
Howell consented to Smith's request to pierce that privilege under the crime fraud exception. Howell claimed there was enough evidence of a crime (!) to justify taking the extraordinary step of giving Smith access to all of Corcoran's files on Trump.
During last month's hearing, Cannon expressed frustration that she was gradually learning about grand jury proceedings/materials out of DC. She called the process "opaque" and doubted DOJ (Bratt) argument that defense all they needed.
NEW: White House visitor log shows that David Ferriero, Obama-appointed national archivist involved in the early stages of the "classified documents" scheme against Trump, met with Biden's WH counsel Dana Remus twice at the White House in Sept 2021:
Ferriero called J6 the "worst day of his life" and started threatening Team Trump in the summer of 2021 with making a criminal referral to DOJ over alleged "destroyed" presidential records.
Dana Remus worked for Obama's DOJ then went to Obama Foundation where she served as counsel to Michelle Obama.
Barack Obama officiated her 2018 wedding.
The day before Ferriero's Sept 2 meeting with Remus at the White House, NARA general counsel Gary Stern circulated a draft letter to AG Merrick Garland from Ferriero falsely suggesting Trump had destroyed presidential records.
Stern attended the Sept 8 with Ferriero and Remus:
Unsealed filings in classified docs include FBI affidavit to get search warrant to raid Mar-a-Lago. (Left is most recent publicly available affidavit that I'm aware of)
This is how DOJ shifted investigation from classified docs to Espionage Act case:
Why would this need to be redacted?
And keep in mind--as I flagged yesterday--two pallets of Trump's boxes were transported from GSA facility in VA to MAL in early August 2021.
This affidavit makes it sound like all the boxes originated from WH in Jan 2021.
So the FBI and DOJ's degenerate midget Jay Bratt (who went to MAL on June 3, 2022 to look for boxes) thought the Biden regime was entitled to get ALL of Trump's boxes?
John Sauer, representing Trump, gives opening statement. Already answering questions posed by Chief Judge John Roberts.
Says indictment uses vague statutes (2 of 4 in this indictment relate to 1512(c)(2) to criminalize "core authority" of the presidency.
Sotomayor already arguing what Trump did was for "personal gain" unlike what Obama did--one example used by Trump's team is could Obama be indicted for drone strikes that killed an American--bc Obama did it "to protect the country."
"The president is entitled for personal gain to use the trappings of his office without facing criminal liability." She mentions "creating false documents" as an example of committing a crime outside of scope of authority.
KBJ: Claims presidents since the beginning of time understood they could face criminal prosecution.
She then says the understanding stems from presidents being prosecuted "after impeachment."
NEW: Thanks to order by Judge Cannon, key evidence related to classified docs case is now unredacted.
On the left: What DOJ/Jack Smith wanted to conceal.
On the right: Now we know why. More proof of collaboration btw Biden White House and NARA to concoct a case.
Outrageous lies by Joe Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and DOJ/Jack Smith about "independence" from investigations into Trump.
The Biden White House and DOJ wew intimately involved in developing a criminal case against Trump for records mismanagement--it appears the first go-around related to alleged "destruction" of government papers.
Contrary to public and legal assertions, NARA was working with DOJ/White House to craft a criminal referral by Sept. 2021--FIVE MONTHS before the "official" referral by NARA to DOJ in Feb 2022.
(Govt redactions on left, newly unredacted filing on right.)
Now you know why the insiders like Andrew Weissmann and Barb McQuade are desperate to get rid of Judge Cannon. Without her courage on this matter, incriminating evidence of Biden's WH and DOJ running the investigative show behind the scenes would be buried maybe forever.
