With Donald Trump's third indictment focused on the possibility he sparked an “insurrection” to challenge President Joe Biden’s election, legal experts are growing more confident that the goal is to block the Republican from serving a second term.
Unlike the other two indictments, the expected third is linked to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots and certification of Biden’s election, and allegations that Trump incited the violence inside the building.If that leads to just one conviction, the insurrection clause in the 14th Amendment written to ban Confederates from serving in office could trigger a ban on Trump taking any office again, even if he is chosen as the next president on Election Day 2024.
Mark Levin, the former Justice Department chief of staff, author, and talk radio giant, agreed. He told his audience last night that special counsel Jack Smith is pushing to indict Trump soon so that a trial will be done before the election. And, Levin added, “This is why Jack Smith wants these cases moving fast, and he wants them done not after the election but during the election.”
“Section 3 is the measure that the Reconstruction-era framers designed to ensure insurrectionists like Trump are accountable and cannot serve in the government that they attacked; addressing the current risk is exactly what it is there for,” concluded the report.
