Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he has received a letter informing him that he is a target of the Justice Department’s investigation into efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.
There is a 0% chance he gets tried for treason. I struggle to even imagine how one could think he committed treason, as described in the Constitution.
Edit: not making excuses for this POS. Treason is literally defined in the constitution and it’s a narrow definition
Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court
Hopefully he gets another dozen+ felonies though. At some point they stack so high that “rich guy leniency” can’t possibly matter.
An actual treason prosecution is incredibly difficult and hasn’t been done in over a century, IIRC, thus Seditious Conspiracy would be more likely - easier to prove and easier to prosecute.

Hoping he follows in the footsteps of my home state’s biggest piece of shit: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdoh/pr/former-ohio-house-speaker-sentenced-20-years-prison-leading-racketeering-conspiracy

That would really make my year, honestly.
