OLC opinion barring federal indictment of a sitting president isn't binding on Virginia prosecutors

I won't hold my breath.

In context, this was close to direct incitement to armed overthrow of the Government of Virginia. That’s a serious crime in that state. The OLC opinion barring federal indictment of a sitting president isn’t binding on Virginia prosecutors. Just food for thought . . .

sedition, which is an actual crime. Since, with the assistance of the corrupt GOP, trump got away with his crimes of Abuse of Power & Obstruction of Congress, what's to stop him now?

Seditious conspiracy is generally defined as conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of a state. Though sedition may have the same ultimate effect as treason, it is generally limited to the offense of organizing or encouraging opposition to State government in a manner such as in speech or writing that falls short of the more dangerous offenses constituting treason. Seditious conspiracy often occurs before an act of treason.

donald no longer cares if his crimes are declared publicly or even tracked. Our faux president cum quasi-dictator truly believes he is above the law and history will show that trump the coward was actually right about this one thing.
