Is Donald Trump daring the DOJ to act?

[kentuck]

With his dangerous and inciteful comments at his recent rally?

It looks and smells like seditious conspiracy.

So far, only one person has been charged with "seditious conspiracy", that I have heard about. Elmer "What's-his-name"?

I think the US Marshals and the US Attorneys, and maybe the FBI, may need to be re-inforced, in a few places, especially those states and towns where they hold rallies?

The DOJ needs to make its presence known, in my humble opinion.

1. It would be nice but DOJ hasn't been very bold, in fact I'm afraid they're afraid.

Trump's keeps pushing and nothing happens, not it may be too late to act.

3. For The Want Of A Nail...

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.

For want of a shoe the horse was lost.

For want of a horse the rider was lost.

For want of a rider the battle was lost ...

12. I think you're correct

It's good to be cautious, but the crimes have been so obvious.

[edhopper]

2. He did that a year ago

Don't see what has changed for them.

[Justice matters.]

4. His (stupid) lawyers must have told him he will get indicted in Georgia by the

Special Grand Jury (50%+1 simple majority rule) and Orangino Mussolini is freaking out since.

[Beachnutt]

21. Grand jury in May

kind of a long way off, he can stir the magats until then I suppose.

5. Trump is no longer afraid of the DOJ. Trump's insane rhetoric will only worsen.

[dchill]

7. I think he's PLENTY afraid.

[L. Coyote]

9. He's so afraid, he has to carefully read what lawyers wrote as he threatens civil war.

That statement was a carefully crafted work of English grammar designed to make the utterance criminally non-chargable.

He's soiling his Depends over his situation, to put it politely. He knows he will be indicted, and he's saying he will break everyone's toys if they won't play by his rules.

10. Three cities that he mentioned...

Washington DC, New York City, and Atlanta.

What do they have in common?

[L. Coyote]

20. Indictments, indictments, indictments, am I right?

Special grand jury in Atlanta for the perfect phone call, DoJ in DC, NY AG and USA in Manhattan working together.

Some voices griped about how long the grand jury took in Georgia. I see it differently, because of the gravity and multiple jurisdiction issues

[kentuck]

25. Yep!

He's running scared. He feels cornered. He is dangerous.

6. Indeed, It Does Appear as 'Seditious Conspiracy'

Now in response to your question: "What's-his-name"?

In the most-expressive voice of Sir Sean Connery:

It's Fudd, Elmer Fudd.

[kentuck]

8. His "rally" was nothing less than a threat to the DOJ and to the Select Committee...

Nice government you have there..... Be a shame to lose it, wouldn't it?

"You can only imagine how bad it will be if you attempt to prosecute me"...

[Nevilledog]

11. He's threatening them in hopes they won't act.

[GoCubsGo]

13. That wasn't "daring DOJ to act."

That was a cornered rat making threats in hopes it gets DOJ and the others to back off. It will not. Nothing but sheer panic spewing out of his yap all night long.

[monkeyman1]

16. He has a very bad case of " letting mouth overload ass " ! he'll not like the end result !

[summer_in_TX]

14. DOJ actually has indicted 11 so far for "seditious conspiracy."

The Proud Boys' Elmer Stewart Rhodes was just the most prominent of them.

[L. Coyote]

15. Ten people are charged with seditious conspiracy. More will follow for the coup plotters and frauds.

What will be interesting is to what degree DoJ uncovers evidence connecting these conspiracies and how they converged on Jan. 6. Who was #FailedCoupGuy meeting in secret, and who do those individuals connect with? Who are the background players, the directors, the coup choreographers, as elements of the mob (used as cover) are running paramilitary, overthrow-the-government maneuvers against the Capitol and Constitution? But this wasn't a movie, it was a failed attempt to end the United States. Indictments are coming.

18. This situation keeps getting more dangerous.

Things will get violent.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

19. Seeing people rioting on his behalf makes both he and Puty tingle.

[Scrivener7]

22. That was a nose-thumbing of the DOJ. And the DOJ response so far?

He understands the game now. The DOJ will move at a snails pace. He will use the time to gin up his violent mob into a force that will frighten everyone and make the DOJ think twice about bringing charges.

This is his MO: when they come after you, go after them with three times the force. He has proven over and over that he is willing to destroy anything he perceives as a threat. And, while he is dumber than a box or rocks, he is a master of destruction.

23. It makes me so angry.

Until I see an arrest for his mounting crime spree, I'll assume he's above the law.

[Mr. Ected]

24. Our best initial hope is that Trump is disqualified from running again due to the 14th Amendment

"No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof".

I'm sure that's exactly the needle that the J6 Committee and DOJ are hoping to thread and the race is and has been on. The damage he's causing in the meantime has only fortified their case.
