Section 2384 of the US Code allows individuals to be fined or imprisoned for conspiring to overthrow or oppose the government by force, prevent or delay its laws by force, or take by force its property. This act is essentially the incitement of violent action against the government, such as communication or activity aimed at getting people to overthrow the state. The law prohibits a “seditious conspiracy” to “overthrow, put down, or destroy by force the Government of the United States” or to “by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the government”.
Sedition is also a crime under the US Code, which characterizes it as two or more people who conspire to overthrow the US. Federal investigators have signaled that some defendants in the attack on the U.S. Capitol could be charged with seditious conspiracy, a law enacted to target the U.S. government, the rule of law, and the Constitution.
The current federal criminal code defines “seditious conspiracy” as an effort by two or more people to conspire to overthrow, put down, or destroy by force the Government of the United States. If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S., conspire to overthrow, put down, or destroy by force, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the U.S. or any department.
Conspiration laws can only be enforced after individuals take an initial step beyond planning and toward execution of an illegal deed. In the United States, criminal anarchy is the crime of conspiracy to overthrow the government, or by any unlawful means. To be “illegal”, one would have to reach to the point of planning with others (conspiracy) or inciting others to do an overthrow.

What’s it called when you try to overthrow the government?
A coup d’état is an illegal and overt attempt by military organizations or government elites to unseat an incumbent leadership. It is a self-coup, where a leader, having come to power through legal means, tries to stay in power through illegal means. Between 1950 and 2010, there were 457 coup attempts, half of which were successful. Most coup attempts occurred in the mid-1960s, but there were also large numbers in the mid-1970s and early 1990s. Coups occurring in the post-Cold War period have been more likely to result in democratic systems than Cold War coups, though they still mostly perpetuate authoritarianism.
Many factors may lead to the occurrence of a coup and determine its success or failure. Once a coup is underway, coup success is driven by coup-makers’ ability to get others to believe the coup attempt will be successful. The number of successful coups has decreased over time, and failed coups in authoritarian systems are likely to strengthen the power of the authoritarian ruler. The cumulative number of coups is a strong predictor of future coups, a phenomenon known as the “coup trap”.
What is it called when you go against your government?
Rebellion can be defined as an open act of defiance against authority, frequently manifested in the form of a refusal to comply with the government’s directives.

What is the rule of overthrow?
Runs scored off a single ball are counted alongside any runs already scored before a fielding error and are credited to the batter. If the ball reaches the boundary due to an overthrow, the four runs for the boundary are added to the number of completed runs before the overthrow. This can lead to an unusual event of a batter scoring more than six runs off a single ball. Test cricket has seen at least four instances of eight runs being scored off a single ball, with the most recent being by Andrew Symonds for Australia against New Zealand in November 2008. It is possible for the ball to be thrown over multiple times from the same ball, leading to even more runs being scored. In theory, there is no limit to how many runs can be scored off a single ball.
📹 Here is Trump’s SEVEN-PART PLOT To Overthrow the Government and Stay in Power!
SHARE THIS VIDEO*** Jesse outlines the 7-part criminal conspiracy that was mentioned by Liz Cheney at the first public hearing …
You are so great, Jesse! Love the practical and intelligent way you show every part of this evil, illegal plan that so needs to be exposed and prosecuted. Thank you for being a true patriot and supporter of democracy and our constitution. We need more people like you in the media, who believe in the truth.
Penalty for treason : Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death, or not less than five years’ imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States. This should apply to all of the GOP Senate half of the house and over 1000 citizens that attacked the Capitol.
Hey Jesse 👋🏽. Thanks for such a wonderful job breaking down the article the way that you did! Yes, Garland needs to hold Trump accountable for the insurrection on Jan 6. I don’t care that he is an ex- president and neither should he! Trump is not a king and he is not above the law. The ball is in Garland’s court, so let’s wait and see how he plays it!! Thanks for your service 🇺🇸💙
Best show you’ve ever done, Jesse…thank you! Musing on the possibility: if The Orange Menace officially declares his candidacy for President – will any of this stick? Or will everyone start shitting bricks in terror of indicting and putting to trial a proclaimed Presidential candidate…cuz we just CAN’T do something that’s never been done before because we will put ourselves up to question and ridicule?? Hmmmmmm…..
This is a person who has gotten away with sht for soooo long, has experience little to no consequences his entire life, that he is perfectly comfortable confessing his crimes on a public podium. No wonder they called him the Teflon Don. He’s always been as slimy and slippery as an eel, using his money to squirm his way out of any troubling situations he got himself into.
I think the orange 🍊 one’s defense team will go with it not being possible for him to have 7 different things sloshing around in there, at any one time,, never mind sophisticated things. I hope the jury doesn’t buy it, but for the orange one, you have to admit, the “too stupid for provable criminal intent’ angle will always be tempting.
Thank You for your article. Well explained and supported. At 18m in your article, I have noted something that has bothered me to this day. I do not know if this happened any other time or not, but why did the former/ex president have bullet-proof glass on this particular day? If you look over his four years, I don’t believe I had ever see him use bullet-proof glass any other time. Why on this particular day? Perhaps he and they who coordinated the days events knew violence was going to be called for!?! Again, just a peculiar observation.
If I remember CORRECTLY he warned us that this all was going to happen..he kept saying we don’t want to go down this road so we better give him his way.. letting out these little snippets of threats on twitter…hes a nut !!!! No one took him seriously, my father was a narcissist. I knew he was DEAD SERIOUS. !!!
Hey there Jesse. Just wondered what your opinion might be on the subject of a #45 2nd term. Was it, in large terms, to avoid the many clamouring investigations and litigations that were knocking at his door? Would it have resulted in a life term Presidency? Would the 2nd term of #45 have redefined the US Constitution? The answer to these questions (especially the last two) should truly trouble American citizens to the core.
Why would he talk to antifa like that!!!! This was clearly a president talking to his supporters, the the question of antifa and BLM inside job does not make sense. In reality this findings will not sway any voter away from their commitments. America already knows what happened, we’re still in the the same bubble as the proudest people on earth, yet we can stand ourselves, not in a second or an inch. Yet still we blame other impoverished people as the source of our demise. It’s been centuries coming, it gonna take a while!!!
How I long to see trump and his cohorts in orange jumpsuits heading off to prison. However, I am not holding my breath cause that big old weasel will probably NEVER be charged with anything. I just hope that the voters will come to their senses in November and not give the GOP control of the House & Senate. If they back in control the US will royally be screwed.
I was born and raised in Chicago Illinois which is a democratic City in a democratic state. At the time of the election I was living in st. Louis because I was ill and my daughter was taking care of me. I was registered to vote in a suburb of Chicago. But because I was living in St Louis I was not eligible my old place of voting my old registration card which was not valid anymore legally. I have been against Trump and his family since 1978 so I would not have voted for him. My sister tried to insist that I come to Chicago to vote. I told her that would be illegal and fraud, which was part of what I was fighting against the illegalities and fraud that was the Trump Administration. She thought Biden winning was more important. Needless to say I didn’t vote but I will always remember my sister who was on my side trying to get me to fraudulently vote
The Jan 6 committee is doing an exemplary job of investigation and making public the indictable crimes committed, which will fall into the court of the DOJ for the absentee missing in action AG to make good all indictments. To which I will not hold my breath with expectations of manifesting to full fruition, rather, I do expect extensively drawn out legalese explaining why the mango mussolini (and his entourage) will not be prosecuted.
Thanks Jesse for explaining the time line for everyone it just really puts the stamp on how things went down it’s scary how much these people have no brain. I still get in arguments and almost get into fistycuffs I thought this guy was gonna quit wow he was mad I eat and take breaks by myself it’s easier life is what I mean.
The real reason he called them off was the Marines were on there way.. and he has no control over the Corp… Oath is to protect the US from all enemies foreign and domestic.. and a Marine with order is something you don’t want to play with… I’m was army infantry and I admit they are training far better and they are far more dangerous for there enemies.. a Marine with order. Protecting US territories and upholding the United States Constitution scary. My father was a Marine God bless his soul.. and he never stop loving the Corp.
I remember all the talk about fake news that planted seeds of doubt. Then when things go wrong, he can claim “see the fake news”. All the falsehoods would be believed because he can say “see I told you this will happen and it did”. It is so transparent and some people that I thought were intelligent doesn’t see it.
Jesse I watch your YT post from my home here in Glasgow Scotland and must congratulate you on the important job you and folks like Brian Tyler Cohen and Meidas Touch do. We certainly have our political idiots and crooks here in the UK- Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage at the top of the list but we are in the minor league compared to the craziness that is unfolding in the USA. I predicted a scenario similar to what sadly unfolded on Jan 6th 2021 a couple of years prior to it happening- the only thing Trump did not do was to declare Martial Law which I predicted. What has happened since with the continued collusion of the GOP is on an unprecedented industrial scale. The role of FOX News is incredible. That could not happen here due to a number of broadcasting standards. It certainly looks like America has gone beyond the point of no return. Sadly I predict a major series of events that will result in a 2nd Civil War or at the very least a break up of the Union. Texas, California and New York could break away and declare themselves independent countries and city states. There will probably be a new confederacy of the South. Every Empire in history has fallen from within- an over extended military that cannot be sustained is a major cause. Anyone who thinks this is mad exaggerated conjecture would’ve never have believed Donald Trump could ever beat Hilary Clinton in a presidental race if the scenario had been suggested in 2006, never mind an insurrection. The clock is ticking down.
The job of the General Attorney is to prosecute Crime and not to make a determination based on what he may think is good for the Country, or not. That is the Job of the President, but since the GA has total independence he does not take direction from the President and must do his job wherever Crime is detected.
Am I the only one who is not impressed nor surprised by what they revealed in that hearing? I’ve heard & known everything they showed & spoke about (save for one or two new angles of the insurrection) the Jan6 insurrection? Like, I’ve seen & watched countless POVs that just seem like a repeat of what we all should have already known. Why act like it’s somehow “shocking” to hear & watch what this on June 9th. I’m not being a dick or anything, but I feel some people have been only half paying attention.
No Jesse its not Trump its the voters. There are thousands of trumps but why is the public so anti democratic thats the big key we should as a public be strong enough to see a Trump a mile away and never vote for him i like Phil vascars? ( veggiectales) how he explained how doritos gave us Trump very good
…excuse me…one “slight” question…who…and I mean “who”…exactly…were the Countries prepared to recognize a United States that just had it’s Government overthrown…I mean…were these Countries lined up before hand…which Countries did Trump visit “prior” to his speech…would the events having taken place in America be deemed “an internal matter”…what says the IMF…?

As Debra James said 2 days ago,Trump: “He invited, He incited, and They rioted.” I’m adding, hours after Trump attempted coup appeared to be a failure, Trump praised, commended and honored them for their actions and told them to go home. That right there is where Trump showed his criminal intent and failed to uphold his oath of office as the Chief Executive. I hope he spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.
That January 6 rally my opinion is was paid for by Publix supermarket in Florida Julie Jenkins Fancelli, American Voice Alex Jones and Charlie Kirk turning point USA etc setting up busing the publix supermarket was linked by Forbes magazine so that is credible evidence The heiress spent a fortune for Trump to attack the United States. Florida really has some problems it seems to be heavily tied to illegal drug markets all you gotta do is go look at the multi million dollar speed boats down there nobody has that kind of money without drugs five engines etc. The stuff is just total overkill and money laundering some of them the props are $50,000 each. Ordinary people do not own that kind of stuff
This is big and probably the worst attack on your country ever from within, these people will not look good in history. This man has destroyed you with lies and B.S. and you let him go because he threatened you with his army, RED FLAG ? He is a criminal of the highest level and if you don’t give him what he deserves you will lose so much world respect.
Jesse!!!! Love your show. There has been something on my mind for a long time, and now that your in DC, l would like to ask this question? We know that a tiger can’t change their stripes. I wonder what would happen if you audited each and every elector in the 2016 election. Could the reason he tried to used the fake electors trick in 2020 was that it worked in 2016? I would like to know the outcome of such an investigation. Reason is that he lost the popular vote by a couple million. If you have any insight put it on blast please. Once again, Jesse!!!! Thank you.
I’ll never understand why us democrats hold our elected officials to such a higher standard than republicans do! The fact that well have people resign from their positions is beyond me. His name escapes me right now but the presidential candidate that was having the affair with the woman documenting his run that ended up pregnant. Republicans would say so what! Or Frankin! He was beloved by the masses. But a single picture that in my opinion really wasn’t a big deal. But his political career OVER! I mean seriously wtf
He went to all this with so dramatics speeches and very despair in the end that he induced tu his followers to the violence,because he wants to be 4more years a President that was the only way to protect himself to be investigating about all the wrong things he did,before and during his presidential time.
