Section 1512(c)(2)-which the Biden administration has twisted and misapplied to target its perceived political opponents-carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence.
"The Biden administration's pursuit of its political opponents must be stopped. Their strained interpretation of the law would criminalize vast swaths of everyday political conduct and violate the First Amendment-Congress never granted, and no administration should have the power to lock up political opponents for 20 years for merely trying to 'influence' Congress," said Senator Cotton.
A strong case can be made that Trump's political opponents have been planning all along to get him removed from the ballot via individual states by citing the insurrection clause.
The strategy might be that if both Houses of Congress had turned to Democratic party control or even if they were to turn in the 2024 election, they could still use the power of Congress to call Trump an insurrectionist and make him ineligible for re-election.
Gaetz has introduced a resolution stating that President Donald Trump did not engage in insurrection, co-sponsored by 60 members of Congress.
Washington, D.C. - On Tuesday, February 6th, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz will host a press conference at 11:45 a.m. ET with 25 members of Congress following the introduction of a sense of Congress resolution stating that President Donald Trump did not engage in insurrection.
The resolution directly states that "President Donald J. Trump did not engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or give aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
