The federal judge assigned to the election fraud case against former President Donald Trump stands out as one of the toughest punishers of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol

    Absolutely not, nor should they. People who commit homicide are charged with homicide. People who instigate riots and conspiracy are charged with instigating riots and conspiracy.

      Not saying this is the case with trump, but many states have homicide by association (phrasing wrong) laws.

      Be the getaway driver for a robbery, and a guy inside shoots someone? Homicide for you too.

      if you set out to rob a bank and you kill someone in the process you get charged with murder.

      Trump set out to overthrow the government and people got killed. That’s the same thing to me.
