As was pointed out on MSNBC tonight, the January 6 Committee is now focused on Trump as a felon for obstructing the operation of Congress in its constitutional responsibilities. Liz Cheney used the exact words from the statute defining the crime in stating what they are now looking at Trump and his fellow conspirators in and out of Congress for committing.

For "obstruction of official proceedings", see 18 USC Sections1505 & 1512(c). Note, on the DOJ's "Capitol Breach Investigation Resource Page" , "[I]n the first 300 days afterJanuary 6, 265 defendants have been already charged by Garland's DOJ Team with "corruptly obstructing, influencing, or impeding an official proceeding.".
In the grand scheme of things, most of those people are pawns. Several of the knights and bishops, however, have been charged with felonies. It's the king, the queen and the rooks they're looking at for the big things.
United States Representative Liz Cheney is Wyoming's lone member of Congress in the U.S. House of Representatives.
An outstanding characteristic about the strength of her political spine as a Republican.
Thank GOD for her selfless devotion and vigorous support for AmericaтАЩs democracy.
Her bravery against republican death threats has not shaken her patriotic oath of office promises.
She is AmericaтАЩs hero and now the actual insurmountable wall against her party's treasonous attempted power grab to destroy AmericaтАЩs democracy.
All America must do all that is necessary to perpetuate Liz ChaneyтАЩs successful U. S. House of Representatives membership against trump's anti-American minions who seek to destroy her at all costs!
I wish I could completely agree with this, because it would mean things aren't as dark as they appear to be. But this week, "our hero" voted against the full faith and credit of the United States, of the United States keeping its word on the most basic of things, that we're not deadbeats, when she voted against raising the debt ceiling, leaving only Adam Kinzinger as the one real patriot in that party.
Well, she is a republican and her daddy is dick cheney and republicans continue their death threats against her almost daily... and she is the champion of our American Democracy surviving the 2022 & 2024 attacks by republicans, Eh!?

That's the one Cheney was quoting. It has a sentence of 5 years, increased to 8 if it's part of "domestic terrorism."
Correct.
Then why are sentences for the insurrectionists being decided as months?

Plea bargains? Lesser charges?
Damn, they are building the case AND using the right language. Now, did I want butter or parm cheese on my popcorn?
ЁЯН┐ ЁЯН┐
So, do we have ex presidents with ex executive privileges, or royalty who are above our laws? To be determined I guess.
TCinLA. Thanks for Liz Cheney's perceptions.
However, having met, and even befriended a few "felons" in my time, that word is usually reserved for two classes of folks:
1) Those currently in prison who have been convicted of a felony (following an arrest and a trial).
2) Those who have completed serving their time, and were released, who were convicted of a felony (following an arrest and a trial).
So, Trump is not a felon. He is currently just a regular, free, citizen who can do whatever he wants, including, run for President.
Using that word to describe a guy who likely ate steak at his Mara Lago resort and golfed yesterday, is more than a bit off.
If the meting out of justice will include out of control oligarchs, their facilitators and sycophants, then I hope TFG is a near future felon.
