Trump Violated Federal Treason and Sedition Statutes Providing for the Death Penalty

President Donald Trump has violated the federal criminal statutes for Treason, Misprision of Treason, Rebellion or Insurrection, Seditious Conspiracy, and Advocating Overthrow of Government, and needs to be imprisoned for a life sentence, or given the death penalty, for his intentional acts of suppressing legal votes, interfering with the U.S. election process, blatant treasonous lies to the American public, attempted destruction of the U.S. Democracy, attempted coup d'etat to overthrow the US Government, and illegally claiming a second term as President. Trump's enablers, including Senator Lindsey Graham and attorney Rudolph Giuliani, are just as guilty.

See Federal Criminal Law Statutes for Treason and Sedition:

8 USC Ch. 115, §2381. Treason:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

8 USC Ch. 115, §2382. Misprision of Treason:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.

8 USC Ch. 115, §2383. Rebellion or Insurrection:
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

8 USC Ch. 115, §2384. Seditious Conspiracy:
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire 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, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

8 USC Ch. 115, §2385. Advocating Overthrow of Government:
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

Pending the criminal proceedings, Trump must be removed from the office of the Presidency for Treason and High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

See the following U.S. Constitution Articles and Amendments:

U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 4:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

U.S. Constitution, 25th Amendment, Section 4:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

President Trump and his enablers are illegally trying to manipulate the electoral college vote certification laws by intimidating State election officials. Trump's nefarious scheme is to strong-arm State electors to certify the electoral votes for Trump, even though the majority of votes went to Biden. Alternatively, Trump is scheming to delay the certification of votes so that the electoral certification deadline passes and the Presidential election is then determined by an unethical Republican controlled Congress.

See, FAQ: What happens next in the Presidential Election Process?, Constitution Daily, November 6.

See "Greg Palast for BuzzFlash: Coup d'Etat Anyone? Three Constitutional Ways Trump Can Overturn the Vote", November 1, 2020.

See the following U.S. Constitution Articles and Amendment:

U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1:
The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.

U.S. Constitution, 12th Amendment:
The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President...
The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.

The Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice.

Porter Wright Withdraws from Trump Frivolous Election Lawsuits - Enabling Law Firms Risk Attorney Ethical Violations and Criminal Prosecutions for Federal Election Fraud

The day after Voter March published its blog that law firm Porter Wright is representing Trump and the Republican Party in their specious lawsuit of voter fraud, Porter Wright abruptly withdrew from representation. All major networks have projected that President-Elect Biden has won the Electoral College by a decisive victory of 306 to 232. Voter March is apolitical, and the issue is not that sore loserman Trump is a Republican, but that he is a fascist demagogue who is spreading disinformation and malicious lies about the election. Trump has the support of wimpy and self-serving Republican Senators who know that Biden run won the election fairly and decisively.

Trump has the support of mercenary and unethical attorneys who are willing to do his bidding. See, 1,100 Attorneys Nationwide Express Outrage at Unfounded Lawsuits to Undermine the Presidential Election, Lawyers Defending American Democracy. Open Letter Seeking Accountability for False Claims Of Fraudulent Election, Lawyers Defending American Democracy. Trump’s lawyers in ethics scandal for filing ‘frivolous lawsuits’ to undermine democracy: Laurence Tribe, Raw Story, Nov. 13, 2020. Judges rule against Trump campaign in 6 Pennsylvania cases over absentee ballots, CNN, Nov. 13, 2020. Lawyers Litigating for Trump Suddenly Remember Their Licenses Are on the Line If They Lie to a Judge, Law and Crime, Nov 11.

These remaining "enabling" law firms, including Jones Day, King & Spalding, Statecraft and Consovoy McCarthy are committing serious ethical violations that could lead to severe discipline including suspension and disbarment. These law firms must be held accountable and are jeopardizing the very existence of their law firms, and may be criminally prosecuted for Conspiracy to Commit Federal Election Fraud, 52 U.S. Code § 20511.

President Trump and His Enablers of the Unfounded Accusations of Massive Voter Fraud

As expected from his pre-election unfounded accusations of a rigged election, President Trump has made outlandish accusations of massive voter fraud. President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris have won a decisive victory with over 5 Million votes in their favor, and an Electoral College lead projected at 306, well above the 270 required for winning. Even Fox News has declared President-Elect Biden the winner. Trump is not delusional or just a sore loser, but Trump is sly as a fox and an opportunist. Trump is knowingly lying to the American Voter, including his core supporters, of massive voter fraud. Trump wants to trample on the rights of the American voter and get named as the winner of the 2020 Election, by "hook or crook." Trump is from the school of the "ends justify the means." It does not matter whether he wins a fair election, he just wants to win at all costs and retain power.

Trump is using whatever powers he has as a sitting President to usurp our democratic election process. He is firing qualified people in government posts and replacing them with Trump loyalists who are political hacks. President-Elect Biden is being denied important government information, including national security briefings. The Government Services Administration is wrongfully withholding necessary funding and property from the Biden Transition Team. Trump is advancing his agenda by bullying and intimidating Government officials and elected representatives, especially the Republican Members of Congress. Only 4 Republican Congressional leaders have recognized Biden as President-Elect. All of these politicians and Trump appointed government officials are "enablers" in Trump's undemocratic and illegal attempt to seize power and to shred the pillars of our democracy.

With the help of unethical and mercenary attorneys, Trump is abusing the legal system and our Courts by mounting a "scorched earth" litigation campaign to try to discard hundreds of thousands of legal votes. Attorneys are officers of the Court and are subject to ethical standards, including abstaining from commencing and continuing frivolous litigation. See No Self-Respecting Lawyer Should Touch Trump’s Election-Fraud Claims -- The president may not have to worry about keeping a job after January 20, 2021, but the attorneys doing his bidding at the moment certainly do, Atlantic Monthly, Nov. 11, 2020. This unethical conduct by "enabler" law firms such as Porter Wright extends to each and every Partner in the firm and all Associates involved in the frivolous litigation, and is grounds for attorney ethics complaints to the state Bar Associations.
