I’m confused about why it’s so difficult to convict trump of inciting a riot or of intentionally interfering in proceedings of the government. He basically did everything short of going up to a judge and declaring “I intend on inciting a riot to interfere in the proceedings of the government.” He gave a speech where he told people to fight to keep congress from convening, then those people successfully fought to keep congress from convening. If this doesn’t qualify, what possibly could?

[@efulmer8675]

There are some laws that have an "intent" aspect, such as the ones that are "Conspiracy to __" because the "__" was never committed, the only thing you really have left is the intent. A lot of these can be sidestepped if you can show that they, in some way, knew or were warned that whatever they were planning or doing would be a problem. Imagine: "I didn't think those donations would be used for purposes other than political ads." "We have records of X telling you that these funds were not going to political ads." This kind of exchange gives rise to at least one of fulfilling the intent requirement for the crime (they knew and let it happen) or the person has just committed perjury (which is also illegal).

[@Insertia_Nameia]

@@efulmer8675 I do want to add, not necessarily to you, but in general because I've seen people decide that due to this (or because of other cases or because they don't think it should matter at all,) that intent isn't important, when it is. Intent is important because it's makes a big difference. Example: one driver gets off their graveyard shift and falls asleep at the wheel, as when they started to drive they weren't that tired and they were just trying to get to the next off ramp so they can pull over at a gas station because pulling over onto the shoulder to nap is not only dangerous but illegal. They wreck into another vehicle and kill someone VS someone getting in their car and intentionally choosing to crash their car into a bicyclist on the shoulder, killing the person. Obviously one is worse than the other despite someone dying in both. That doesn't make either death more or less important. Or say lighting striking a house setting it on fire and a small child dying as a result vs someone intentionally setting the fire and trapping the child inside so they die. Or another way to look at it, for laws that DON'T consider intent is why you can actually spend many years in prison for picking up a single bird feather off the ground (god forbid if you have a collection of them.) Yes that's right. In the U.S. picking up a bird feather you found on the ground is considered messing with migrating birds (even if that bird doesn't migrate or it's the wrong time of year.) Can not land you in jail, but an actual prison (which are not the same thing.)

[@tadwimmer6225]

This poses a very interesting question, but I think you have to look at it a bit differently. If Trump honestly believed he had won the election, then his claim was not a lie __per se__, but a mistaken belief. For some of the crimes Trump could be charged with, there is an element of __mens rea__, or criminal intent. Given the facts as they've been presented by the committee this claim would imply a severe psychological disability. Although not presented by the committee, there is reason to believe this may be the case. Brandi X Lee's book, __The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump__ goes into great detail concerning potential psycho-pathology. Even if Trump was willing to use this defense, I think it would be a difficult row to hoe. Especially if the connection is made that he knowingly incited the riot at the capitol expecting it to turn violent. I think we are close to that point, subject to impeachment at any trial.

[@crystalh450]

Yeah, like if people were actually TRYING to have an insurrection. As it was, it was a bunch of people wandering around and some were let in by police. Some didn't even know they weren't supposed to be there and it was mostly people trying to have a peaceful protest, as opposed to the "mostly peaceful protests" we had been seeing where there are police stations on fire behind the journalist reporting just how "peaceful" they were. I think that people would take the people complaining more seriously if people were treated the same way regardless of political ideology. Either people trespassing is illegal or it isn't, but when you have people awaiting trial in bad conditions for more than a year (when they have a right to a speedy trial on one side) and on the other side, you have politicians bailing people out and they aren't in jail for a week even, there is a serious imbalance. That being the case, it isn't difficult to see the issues people have here. Most of the people wandering around the capital just wanted an investigation, just like one that the left got when they suspected "Russian Collusion." Funny how when their guy wins it is all suddenly "above board" and nobody is allowed to ask for additional information. Regardless of how someone votes, they are entitled to be able to feel confident that the election was conducted in a fair way and should not be threatened for simply asking questions. I think most of the people there wanted to be heard, but they didn't go about it in a good way. Should they be punished? Maybe, but the punishment should match the crime and the same standards should be used regardless of someone's political ideology. I think political party should be a protected class. If we don't have that, then we no longer have a republic and it isn't a democracy either.

Whether he knows more than most doesn't necessarily make him qualified to necessarily educate on the matter. Considering his pretty harsh anti-conservative/republican bias, he would certainly not be a good choice for educating the public on the matter in terms of politics, because that bias will bleed through heavily, as it sometimes does in his videos. For someone to be qualified to talk about political systems, parties and the history you do have to have a relatively neutral stance or the ability to stay mostly objective, and no matter how much I enjoy Devin's content, I still wouldn't want to see him delve into Politics, educational or otherwise.

​@@SioxerNikita Everyone has personal bias and trying to use that as an argument to limit or restrict who can engage in politics is really just a way to control whichever narrative it is you're trying to push, wherever you fall on the political spectrum Also restricting political participation to ONLY those who meet very narrow educational backgrounds excludes entire demographics of people who absolutely should be involved. Especially when these goal posts are set by those who traditionally have greater access to tertiary education.

[@aheroforfun6401]

10:52 I believe this is a case of what's in the big print vs what's in the fine print. According to a Politico article: "Much of the money raised by Stepien and the Trump campaign won’t go towards challenging election results, however, but to help set the stage for the president’s next act. The Trump campaign has a recount fund, but the money won’t go to it unless someone gives more than $8,333. Rather, 60 percent of a donation up to that amount for Trump’s “Official Election Defense Fund” is routed to a new PAC started this week by the president that can pay for a wide range of activities - but is likely legally barred from spending on recounts, lawyers say. The remaining 40 percent goes to the Republican National Committee, which is allowed - but not required to - spend on the recount. Prior to Tuesday, the majority of a donation went to helping Trump’s campaign cover its debt." So it sounds like it was stated at some point, deep in the details of the fundraiser, that money wouldn't go to the recount fund unless the donor gave over $8,333. It definitely seems underhanded, but probably not illegal, unless I'm missing something.
