    We'd probably lose interest and then let the place devolve into religious infighting and fall to shit. Wait that was supposed to be a joke, not kind of what's already happening.

    Considering DC is not a state, there can be no state charges against them. Which means Federal.

    That depends on the location.

    But, carrying explosives across state lines, and/or onto federal property, makes it a federal case... no matter what.

    Doubt they would actually publicly 25 him. Pence will wrap up the rest of term while Trump gets to leave with "dignity" if he cooperates being he only has days left.

    Even if it were, the capitol is about as thoroughly federal property as you get.

    I had the same thought myself.

    Bunch of loonies scored a massive self-goal. Dems should be sending flowers and candy boxes to Trump - he just handed them good 4 years of complete dominance if not more.
    He's probably looking for $130,000 for someone to find and rub his 'shroom.

    Sure, and of course the most likely scenario is always going to be that nothing happens, since Republicans' spines only exist on this plane briefly and infrequently.

    No, it’s not... Trump just became a confederate icon, they have not had since civil war. He is going to be “campaigning” for the rest of his life... Trump family are now evangelicals of the confederate...

    lol... Tellison, Trump’s first Secretary of State, was a former Exxon CEO and Biden stopping drilling, was a big talking point for Trump during the debates. You are not that far off...

    They literally planted an IED in the RNC HQ.

    Pence I can believe doing it because Trump seriously fucked him over by turning his base against him. But can he get enough support to make it happen?

    Couple of key legal issues there. Agreed that it would dicey, at best.

    Impeachment Pt 2 anyone?

    So, first of all, good point. Pardon would be an issue.

    However - if no one is even identified until after Trump is out of office, the Pardon issue it removed from the table.

    Trump’s first Secretary of Defense James Mattis called the riots in Washington, DC, today a "violent assault on our Capitol, an effort to subjugate American democracy by mob rule" and said it "was fomented by Mr. Trump.”

    Mattis said Trump has used “the Presidency to destroy trust in our election and to poison our respect for fellow citizens has been enabled by pseudo-political leaders whose names will live in infamy as profiles in cowardice.”
