All they needed to do was copy the indictment from Trump’s impeachment trial, on which 57 senators voted to convict. A jury would have returned a conviction in five minutes.
He wasn't impeached for sedition. He was charged for inciting rebellion. Different claim.
Here's the text of that statute:
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
Fine, whatever the legal term and section of the law, he should have been indicted as quickly as he was impeached. I have no doubt that he would have spent the rest of his life in prison if that was done. Justice delayed is justice denied, and this case will go down in history as the prime example.
