If Trump is on tape saying Mike Pence deserved it then the trial should only take about 10 minutes.
That's not a crime.
I think his actions are treasonous. The statement is damning.
President wants re-election. To stay in power. Loses election. VP's job is to certify the election. President does not want VP to certify the election. A crowd of the president's supporters storm the capital and shout they want to hang Pence. The President's reaction is to say he deserves it and not to take any action to tell his supporters to go home (or just as president in general to tell people not to riot at the Capitol).
That is the action of a dictator. He is trying to hold onto power and by his very statement was okay if the VP was harmed doing his constitutional duty.
Treason.
I think several of his actions may rise to the level of criminal, starting with seditious conspiracy. However, the hanging statement isn't illegal. It could be impeachable, but that is a different standard (and he isn't in office).
The statement in it of itself no. If he said that five days later than so be it. I think the context of when he said it is evidence of his state of mind at the time and his acceptance of the riot versus trying to stop it. Saying that when Pence is currently at-risk and not doing anything to stop it shows that he is supporting the behavior of the rioters.

in the united states, is treason a capital offense? back in the uk you would be hanged, drawn, and quartered for it.
i am pretty anti death penalty with the exception of cases of treason. i think it should be punishable by blood eagle.
I don’t support the death penalty. That’s for the Big Government Republicans.

Treason is the only offense mentioned in the constitution. But it is assisting an enemy of the United States. What he did is closer to sedition.
i would bet he assisted putin.
also, all of those people that stormed the capital were assisting an enemy of the people, trump.
i bet a good lawyer can make the case with solid evidence.
i believe trump has forfeited his right to live any longer. he has been out of office for nearly 18 months and he just keeps going on and on and on that he did nothing wrong and that it was antifa, and that the election was stolen.. he is propagating insurrection. the death penalty was used to stop that. to end its life cycle. to make sure those treasonous ideas died with the guilty and as a deterrent to supporters of that person.
look at me, being an actual patriot. not a fake one with a long gun going to mess with immigrants and lgbtq people like the 3 percenters.

Holy shit this is damaging....tRump's own people are trashing his narrative
For sure. Any yet I am prone to thinking, "Yes... but..." the but being the last sentence is this exempt from yesterdays Heather Cox Richardson's letter:
"As
the atmosphere around Trump gets hotter, there are cracks appearing in
the Republican Party’s support for the former president. Today, Arkansas
governor Asa Hutchinson, a Republican, said on Fox News Sunday
that former president Trump is “politically, morally responsible” for
the events of January 6, although Hutchinson expressed the opinion that
the committee has not yet established that the former president is
criminally liable. Hutchinson said, “Republicans need to do a lot of
soul searching as to what is the right thing here and what is the right
thing for our democracy in the future, and not simply adhere to the
basic instincts of some of our base.”
It is not clear that his colleagues will heed Hutchinson’s call."
And 45's wacko avid fans are even less inclined to admit the truth about all this.

Bill DISbarred’s deposition is pretty damning. Seems as if the committee is illustrating the criminal intent of POOTWH. Merick is gonna have a bigly decision to make.
Is fraud a crime? Do they call it “wire fraud?” Is that a crime?
Suckers.
Bannon committed wire fraud when he had the false Wall fundraiser. Money moving over state lines electronically for illegitimate purposes is wire fraud. You could make an argument that if the people in charge knowingly solicited funds for an illegitimate cause, they committed wire fraud.

That fictitious fund could possibly be wire fraud, the first significant evidence of a crime. As far as trump being advised there was no election fraud, he is entitled to his opinion if his advisers had a different one. But raising money for a fund that doesn’t exist, and some of the money went to his hotel, they might have something there. That smells like a crime.
Not half as amazing as the amount of people who bought into the obvious grift.
