I agree. Trump was trying to lead an “insurrection” against his own government? In South America they have a name for that, but we don’t as it had never been tried before here: an auto golpe.It's just bad wording.
They need to use sedition conspiracy instead.
Which do you think is worse? Insurrection or seditious conspiracy?
Trump was the legal President for another two weeks even after J6. Trump committed seditious conspiracy in using all the powers he did possess and could wield to try to stop the legitimate transfer of power to the newly elected Biden Administration. He tried to organize a Constitutional Crisis and disallow already state validated and court backed Electoral slates for Biden. Trump and his gang actually might have succeeded if Pence and many other Republicans had allowed themselves to be brow-beaten into joining the conspiracy.
