Seditious Conspiracy--Calling All Legal Eagles

Exclusive: Large bitcoin payments to right-wing activists a month before Capitol riot linked to foreign account

WASHINGTON — On Dec. 8, someone made a simultaneous transfer of 28.15 bitcoins — worth more than $500,000 at the time — to 22 different virtual wallets, most of them belonging to prominent right-wing organizations and personalities.

Now cryptocurrency researchers believe they have identified who made the transfer, and suspect it was intended to bolster those far-right causes. U.S. law enforcement is investigating whether the donations were linked to the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

While the motivation is difficult to prove, the transfer came just a month before the violent riot in the Capitol, which took place after President Trump invited supporters to “walk down Pennsylvania Avenue” and “take back our country.”

The Court discussed above how the evidence shows that President Trump likely knew
that the electoral count plan was illegal.250 President Trump continuing to push that plan despite
being aware of its illegality constituted obstruction by “dishonest” means under § 371.

The evidence also demonstrates that Dr. Eastman likely knew that the plan was
unlawful. Dr. Eastman heard from numerous mentors and like-minded colleagues that his plan
had no basis in history or precedent. Fourth Circuit Judge Luttig, for whom Dr. Eastman
clerked, publicly stated that the plan’s analysis was “incorrect at every turn.”251 Vice President
Pence’s legal counsel spent hours refuting each part of the plan to Dr. Eastman, including
noting there had never been a departure from the Electoral Count Act252 and that not “a single
one of [the] Framers would agree with [his] position.”253

Dr. Eastman himself repeatedly recognized that his plan had no legal support. In his
discussion with the Vice President’s counsel, Dr. Eastman “acknowledged” the “100 percent
consistent historical practice since the time of the Founding” that the Vice President did not
have the authority to act as the memo proposed.254 More importantly, Dr. Eastman admitted
more than once that “his proposal violate[d] several provisions of statutory law,”255 including
explicitly characterizing the plan as “one more relatively minor violation” of the Electoral
Count Act.2

Dr. Eastman’s views on the Electoral Count Act are not, as he argues, a “good faith
interpretation” of the law;259 they are a partisan distortion of the democratic process. His plan
was driven not by preserving the Constitution, but by winning the 2020 election.

[Dr. Eastman] acknowledged that he didn’t think Kamala Harris should have that authority in 2024; he
didn’t think Al Gore should have had it in 2000; and he acknowledged that no small government
conservative should think that that was the case.260

Dr. Eastman also understood the gravity of his plan for democracy—he acknowledged “[y]ou
would just have the same party win continuously if [the] Vice President had the authority to just
declare the winner of every State.”261

The evidence shows that Dr. Eastman was aware that his plan violated the Electoral
Count Act. Dr. Eastman likely acted deceitfully and dishonestly each time he pushed an
outcome-driven plan that he knew was unsupported by the law.

President Trump and Dr. Eastman participated in numerous overt acts in furtherance of
their shared plan. As detailed at length above, President Trump’s acts to strong-arm Vice
President Pence into following the plan included meeting with and calling the Vice President
and berating him in a speech to thousands outside the Capitol.

Based on the evidence, the Court finds that it is more likely than not that President
Trump and Dr. Eastman dishonestly conspired to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on
January 6, 2021.

Yawn - American people don't care that Trump and his team did what they could within the structure of the Constitution to stop a stolen election.

When we take back power we will see how much you actually care about Democracy but since you haven't said a peep about the Ballot Trafficking operation and Zuckerbucks we already know the answer to that.

This will bear as much fruit as all the nonsense you've spewed for the last six years.

Ignore the stolen election all you want. THe American people aren't and the next congress will get to the bottom of all of it.

I am PROUD to have supported a man that did everything possible within the laws of the land to stop the election from being stolen.

Several members of congress have filed civil lawsuits about this. The standard of proof is lower for civil cases. It would make sense for the DoJ to wait for the civil cases to work their way through the courts before filing criminal charges. If you can't win the civil case you are unlikely to be able to win a criminal conviction. I think it was McConnell who argued (at the time he announced he would vote against impeachment) that the courts were the appropriate recourse for these matters.
 
Which is why they are trying to get Thomas to recuse himself.

This is the last play. Legalese and interpretation to stop Trump from inevitably coming back in 2024.

It won't work and the American people are laughing at idiots like you.
