Poor quash. Determined to sell the lie no mater how rancid it gets.
Listen bub, no one was charged with trying to kill the VP because no one tried to kill the VP, just like no one was charged with sedition because that didn't happen either.
We have plenty of facts now to tell us what happened, like how Trump did not incite a damn thing, like well over 95% of the people in DC on Jan 6 committed no crime, and the ones that did overwhelmingly did misdemeanors like Trespassing. In fact, the only felony we know about for sure was the murder of Ms. Babbitt, although the officer who shot her will never see punishment in this life.
But your myopic habit of seeing evil only when you can blame it on Trump is a tired, old, arrogance that makes you look like a malicious fool, quash.

So the political mirror image of Stasi Sam got himself in trouble. It may not bother Sam that Seditious Conspiracy (good luck proving it) is not itself actual Sedition, but for more than a year now he's been all about the accusation, not the facts anyway.
Let's Go Brandon.
According to WSJ it is actual sedition.
"
has filed charges of sedition"armed "Quick Reaction Forceprepared to ferry weapons into Washington amassing weapons in the Washington area. WASHINGTONEleven people including Stewart Rhodes, the leader and founder of the
right-wing militia group the Oath Keepers, have been indicted on
charges of seditious conspiracy, marking an escalation of the Justice Department's
investigation into the attackon the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 last year.
An indictment unsealed Thursday accused Mr. Rhodes, 56 years old, of
organizing an armed plot to storm the Capitol and stop the certification of President Biden's election victory.The case marks the first time the Justice Department
has filed charges of sedition related to the attack and comes days after Attorney General Merrick Garland promised that
prosecutors would charge anyone responsible for the Capitol riot "at any level," not just those who breached the building.
Mr. Rhodes didn't enter the building that day, but prosecutors said he directed his followers there, setting in motion the violence. His lawyer, Jonathon Moseley, said he was on the phone with Mr. Rhodes on Thursday afternoon when agents showed up at his client's home in Granbury, Texas.
A conviction isn't contingent on the conspiracy being successful and carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, though defendants rarely receive that. Mr. Rhodes is also charged with numerous other counts related to obstruction of an official proceeding, which could factor into any sentencing decision if he is found guilty.
Prosecutors say Mr. Rhodes and other members of the Oath Keepers
used encrypted communications apps to coordinate a series of actions leading up to their actions on Jan. 6, including organizing into teams and amassing weapons in the Washington area. Once protesters had breached the Capitol perimeter, prosecutors say, members of the Oath Keepers
marched into the Capitol as a team in "stack formation," a single-file military tactic. The group then split up, with half of the Oath Keepers headed for the U.S. Senate chamber while the other half set out for the House ofRepresentatives on the other end of the Capitol building, according to the indictment.
Prosecutors allege the
group headed for the House was searching for Speaker Nancy Pelosi,who had been evacuated from the chamber by her security detail when the breach began. The Oath Keepers who tried to breach the Senate side were repelled by law enforcement, the indictment says.
The Oath Keepers allegedly also
had an armed "Quick Reaction Force" stationed at a Comfort Inn in Arlington, Va., and
other locations just outside the capital. They were prepared to ferry weapons into Washington in support of Oath Keepers operations, prosecutors say.
