It's a veeery generous but not entirely outlandish interpretation of his call to Raffensperger. Frankly, I still hope that testimony will link him directly to the various fake elector schemes because those were fraudulent beyond interpretation and might get him sentenced both in federal and state courts more certainly.

I have always liked your channel - but my first comment is your commitment to solid motion graphics really sets you apart

Republican platform: you have the right to encourage overthrowing the government if you don't agree with an election, but you don't have the right to tell 16 year olds that homosexuality isn't a crime.

At LegalEagle (please anyone upvote if you agree) -- I'd like you to do a video on whether 14th Amendment Section 3 bars Trump from holding office, and also if this should apply to any members of Congress who also aided, abetted, and fomented the Jan. 6th insurrection.

Also please to look at the implication of these statutes cited in Jack Smith's 2nd indictment, in case the 14/3 strategy fails: 'There are two statutes mentioned in the [special counsel] indictment against Trump that invoke the *penalty of disqualification from office:* 18 U.S. Code § 2384: This statute prohibits any person from conspiring to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States. 18 U.S. Code § 1512(c)(2): This statute prohibits any person from corruptly obstructing, impeding, or interfering with any official government proceeding. Both of these statutes carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Additionally, if convicted of either of these crimes, Trump would be *disqualified from holding any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.'*

No it doesn't because the 14 amendment, section 3 has 2 parts 1 shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same OR 2. given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. There is little evidence that Trump engaged in an 'insurrection or rebellion' (there is more evidence that Nancy Pelosi engaged in fomenting the Jan 6th 'insurrection' than Trump) and there is no evidence that he gave 'aid or comfort' to the the Enemies of the USA.

It is always inter to get a good analyse of the American laws about these matters. I find Devlin’s videos fascinating.

It's so hard for me to follow these videos but I keep watching them.

So, according to trump's lawyer, ordering people to break the law for you is "aspirational" speech. John Gotti missed an opportunity to use that defense in court.

It's sad that a lot of the details of this type of law were originally worked out in the context of mob bosses using euphemisms to order assassinations, for example. Sad in the sense that I never thought it would become appropriate to treat a political party as similar in nature to a mafia family. But that's where we are.

@@leyrua I mean he did, according to his Lawyers notes, say 'What if we don't play ball, if we don't tell them we have the documents' and 'What if there were no documents' and then he told that lawyer to take the documents to his hotel room and 'made a plucking motion' to remove anything 'bad'.

I was just using speech to tell people to commit crimes. SPEECH!!!

Love the way you cover cases - generally unbiased - but wish you would cover the lack of a case being brought for similar high visibility incidents and why an indictment should be or not be made

I hear you are all so a great salt merchant. But, what's your point?

I actually own a copy of the Hitman manual he’s talking about. The fact that several people were caught in the act with the book tells you how “good” its instruction is worth.

All I did was tell the bank teller to "give me all the money or else" and they gave me all the money. Free speech.

You should have asked 'pretty please' and left out the 'or else' ... a rookie mistake.

I'm a huge fan of the new chud thing of describing crimes in the simplest and most relatable way to make them seem legal. "Oh it's illegal to use the phone now?!"

I love that you youtubed so hard you started a law firm

Thank you for your video. As a Canadian, I just can't stop watching with disbelief and deep concern. It's like the train has gone off the track, off the side of the mountain, and continues to spin in mid-air, waiting to land into some type of explosion.

Everything possible in this system that can be broken has been or has people actively working to break it. This includes shit you would think would be unbreakable, because Americans just have to be exceptional. The reason is simply that about half (or possibly more!) of the populace is either in cults or approving/uncaring toward those cults.
