#USAToday: What is sedition? US Capitol breach was almost textbook example, legal expert says

Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a crowd gathered to protest the election.

Newly elected President Joe Biden said in a televised speech on Wednesday, "The law is not a protest, it's a riot, it's a riot. It's the end of betrayal. And it must end now."

Matthew Snyder, an American lawyer with the Eastern Michigan community, told the Detroit Fried Press, part of the USA Today network, that the group's actions were "unforgivable" and "criminal."

What happened in DC? Trump's mob seized the capital and forced Washington to close

"There is a big difference between peaceful demonstrations and their freedom of speech," Snyder, who was appointed by Trump, said.

"It's not. The perpetrators of violence are committing crimes, and they should stop now, and it's not protected by our constitution."

Investigators estimate that, depending on individual circumstances, the cost of Windows and other items can range from low curfew fees to the crime of destroying less than 1,000 state-owned properties.

According to him, he could face up to 10 years in prison for embezzling more than 10,000 soms from state property.

It reads:

“If two or more individuals are under United States jurisdiction in any state or territory, or anywhere, they plan to rebel, destroy, or wage war against the United States government. , Or forcibly opposing its right to do so, or forcing, obstructing, or delaying the implementation of any United States law, or using force to seize, take, or seize any property of the United States against its rights, A fine will be imposed under the title or more than twenty years, or both. "

The "delay in the implementation of the law" is key, and was seen by Trump supporters on Wednesday, said law professor Devin Schindler, who was once the clerk for the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

"At least for some of these protesters, especially those who have entered the capital, I think there is an extraordinarily strong case that they used force to delay the implementation of our election law and how elections are counted. "We have clearly seen that based on what we are seeing, that individuals are real, most textbooks are using force to interfere in legal government activities in violation of this treasonous conspiracy legislation," he said.

People need to know the punishments so they can go home and things get worse, Snyder said.

"We should all be able to disagree peacefully," he said. "The most worrying thing for me is that we, on both sides of the street, are all escalating these disagreements."

Given the historical context, Schindler thought again about the burning of the Capitol during the War of 1812, but thought that the storm of 2020 would come.

"This type of violence is extremely rare in the capital," he said. There are some examples of pre-civil war or civil war or congressional warfare, "he said." There was some firing on the Capitol, but this level of violence is unheard of to be directed at legitimate government practice. "
