peaceful transition of power. you referred to it as sort of being novel. but it s an old statute. it s been around a long time. so, it s not so much that it is a novel legal theory. it is just that the federal government has not been very successful in the past when it has used this charge, particularly against what i would say referred to as domestic extremists. the government has had more success when it has used this charge against islamic stream us, but not against those who are anti government, and oftentimes also antisemitic, anti-immigrant and anti-other, and want to overthrow the government for a variety of reasons. in this case, of course, it being the reason to keep former president trump in office so, i think it was very important that the department used discharge, even though other charges it brought in obtained guilty convictions guilty verdicts on, also, our 20-year offenses. so, it s not like this charge is dramatically longer, a period of incarceration for which th
