Serious question

[malaise]

I have heard several of the MAGAban goons state that they were invited to Capitol Hill by the Slobfather.
My question is - how can someone in a separate branch of government invite his goons or anyone else to the property of another branch of government.
For that alone he should be locked up

1. Simply put, they can't.

It's a dodge and a poor one at that. The workings of lesser minds. But, when that's all they've got, I guess that's all they've got.

2. It's not a crime to invite people to go to the grounds of another branch of government

especially when they are located on public space.

For example, Members of Congress can tell people to go over to the White House or the Supreme Court to protest.

Trump committed lots of crimes that day, in my view. But telling people to go to the property of another branch of government is not one of them.

4. That is not what he did and you will soon discover that it is not what he told them either

and we all know this.

5. You're right. He did many things that are criminal

But as I said, telling people to go to the property of another branch of government is not one of them because that, in and of itself, is not a criminal act.

6. And there is a paper trail

or a voice/video trail

8. You're all over the place now.

You claimed that he should be "locked up" simply because he was in one branch of government and invited people onto the another branch of government." I'm simply telling you that that alone is not a crime. Responding with "that's not what he did" is a weird dodge, especially when that's exactly what you claimed he did to warrant being locked up - in fact, that premise was the entire point of your OP.

Telling people to go to the property of another branch of government is not grounds alone to lock someone up.

3. Sadly, we don't get to just make up laws as we go along

I mean, isn't that the soul of what's wrong with the trumpism we oppose?
