At this point, why not bypass the legal niceties and just put Trump in jail?

A “mens rea” defense allows the criminal justice system to differentiate between someone who did not mean to commit a crime and someone who intentionally set out to commit a crime.
Regarding the seditious attack upon the Congressional Building, legal defense of some, (if not most of those who pleaded or were found guilty of seditious conspiracy or lesser crimes, was based upon their belief they were then acting in support of President Trump's publicly expressed wishes.

A jury can legally find Donald Trump innocent if they believe Trump was sufficiently ignorant; he didn't know he was committing any criminal acts, (i.e. Trump and his followers were all sufficiently ignorant and/or stupid). Respectfully, Supposn

Nope. Trump broke laws no matter what he might have believed about his win or loss. You should read the indictment.

The Biden Administration has clearly given up on the idea that the federal government exists to do anything but satisfy Joe Biden’s whims.
So why not get it over with? Throw Donald Trump in jail without due process, construct reeducation camps, and rename the FBI the Stasi?
In less than 1 week the administration has shredded the already tattered reputation of the Justice Department.
  • Last Wednesday a US Attorney tried to convince a judge to give what amounted to a plenary pardon to Hunter Biden for all crimes he had committed in the past.
  • On Thursday Donald Trump was indicted yet again.
  • Then Sam Bankman-Fried was let off the hook for funneling $90 million of stolen funds into the pockets of Democrats.
  • Then the Justice Department demanded a judge jail a whistleblower who has revealed that Joe Biden was deeply involved in Hunter Biden’s influence peddling.
  • Then the FBI reveals it contracted illegally with a spyware firm…
  • And on Tuesday Donald Trump got indicted yet again.
As I said, they aren’t even trying to pretend they are anything but corrupt tyrants who are convinced they can get away with anything they want to.
The infuriating thing is that they are right.
If we lived in a free country with a working press there would at least be some outcry. Stories about the corruption would be printed and crusading journalists would be ringing alarm bells about the destruction of democracy.
Actually, on that latter point, they are doing precisely that, only they are blaming the Republicans for not buckling to the inevitable. The current definition of “democracy” is simply complying with anything the Left wants to impose on us.
~Snip~
We have a Justice Department perfectly fine with abusing its power, an FBI that goes after parents and pro-lifers, an IRS that intimidates reporters, and all of these agencies determined to destroy Trump and every Republican.
~Snip~
Somebody has to clean all this up right frigging NOW, and I am not confident that Trump knows how to do it. He sure didn’t in his first term, and we got Joe Biden in office now.
Imagine a Biden second term. If this is Biden when he is seeking reelection, imagine Biden without any constraints at all.
Can it get any worse?
Yes, yes it can.


Commentary:
Since we`re going bananas, why bother with the mere formalities.
let’s just get to anarchy part, since that is what we have in our federal government. Might is Right, now. Maoist Democrats gave us a preview during the trump presidency with their `Peaceful But Fiery Protests`. We can certain show them the same.
Some Maoist Democrats make it obvious that they know Trump is guilty and he shouldn’t be allowed a trial or access to the government’s evidence against him. They want Trump to just go directly to prison for what he apparently did according to them. Why beat around the bush with a trial?
If Trump is reelected the Executive agencies will experience a blood bath. The left knows they have awakened a sleeping giant who will pursue them with terrible wrath. They cannot allow Trump to become POTUS again and will do anything they can to derail his candidacy. If these latest legal gambits fail to take down Trump, I fear that Maoist Democrats and Deep State are not above assassination.
Jeff Childers made some interesting legal points on this subject today in his `Coffee & Covid column`.
``In a long series of poorly-considered Trump cases, this is one of the dumbest yet.
First, nearly all the conduct described in the four counts is speech, and not just speech, but political speech. Political speech is the most protected kind of speech under the Constitution’s First Amendment. That probably won’t stop the Obama-appointed judge from letting the case survive an inevitable motion to dismiss, but my initial take is the counts can’t survive without rewriting the Constitution.``

Sounds like the author has a screw loose.
