Rarely used, but on the books.

The Proud Boys were designated a terrorist organization in Canada before January 6.

There are web sites where you can bet on just about anything, including the odds Allen is convicted of the charges he faces (which, AFAIK don’t include attempted murder- CORRECTION- emptywheel reports he has been charged with 18 USC 1751, attempt to assassinate the President ).

Of course, Trump’s DOJ has a reputation for botching indictments, so it’s possible he could walk free.

Have you read Allen’s manifesto that he sent to his family?
