Now that it is well established that Trump supported the overthrow of the elected government...

Can he be tried for treason yet?

"Treason" is a big charge. And there's a lot of wiggle room in what actually defines treason. My gut is that they'll go after crimes that are easier to prove. They're certainly loading up on the financial side. I'm sure they are on this side too.
As a nation we can never let this happen again. If there was ever a time to draw a very clear line in the sand, it's now.

@Ynotisay That time to draw that line was when Congress had the best chance they will have.....before Trumps dies......to end any and all control he had over the party by sentencing him in his impeachment trials to....."no chance to ever be in politics or hold an office again." When the Republicans in the Senate let him off....that simply gave trump a green light to really be a cocksucker and try a coup to declare himself dictator of America. If he EVER runs and somehow gets elected as prez again..........and knowing he has tried to overthrow Democracy once...........take your best guess what he'll try to do again while he has presidential immunity?

@anythingoes477 Well, I think you clued in the reality. It's the GOP. Pure and simple. Democrats did everything they could. In this case, I think the Dems are truly fighting for the future. They understand what's at stake. Where it seems like he's going to get nailed either way, because politics doesn't have a seat at the table, is with financial fraud. I see that as secondary. I want him to pay for what he's done.
