The desk is obviously to hide the fact that he's not wearing pants.

Things we love when looking for an answer: A) It depends B) Its complicated

The wildest thing is that these traitors gave up the game with every chance they could; it wasn't a secret what they wanted to do and how they wanted to accomplish it. It was entirely transparent, but somehow, as long as they didn't use specific words or phrases, they somehow are able to avoid all legal ramifications - even when their own supporters committed crimes because of their rhetoric.

I remember when I told people that Trump saying "Stand back, stand-by" was more of an order rather than a call to leave I got so much push back from it. From my VERY limited military experience (I was in military school) there is a big difference from telling military people to "stand-by" and "dismiss". These words are very powerful.

The fact that these politicians are called "law makers", when they are in fact both "law ignorant" and "law breakers" is astounding.

“So it’s treason then” oh oh look he did the thing 😂

As a Texan, I formally apologize for Ted Cruz’s existence.

I came to this video after the 11 Oath Keepers were charged with seditious conspiracy. I watched a short PBS video wherein an attorney who was being interviewed said it's been a very difficult charge to convict in the past because prosecutors failed to prove that the defendants had a "sincere belief" they could genuinely bring their plot to fruition. My question is: why would a "sincere belief" matter?

"There's not a first amendment right to stop the government from functioning" Someone should tell the Senate...

"The stuff that was on instagram deserves to be in jail." That line is fantastic.

Here in Ireland we have the 'Offences against the state act' which is in fact a result and governed by our constitution. What it says is that even discussing the illegal overthrow of the state or doing anything to harm it, or raising any form of armed group other than the legal police force or armed forced of the state, is treason. So you cannot form any sort of militia. You aren't even allowed to discuss the overthrow of the government by any means other than the ballot box. Now you could say that for example a gun club, of which there are a few in Ireland, would be 'forming a militia', guys who like shooting guns on the weekend are all of one mind and this constitutes an armed force in the country right? But to get any sort of a license in Ireland to own a weapon, you have to explicitly state that you are not a member of any outlawed group or unknown group that stands apart from the Irish armed forces or police force. Even members of the armed forces and even police officers (who are unarmed in Ireland anyway) have to sign this. It reminds them that their club is not a militia and if they think it is they can be tried for treason. Our constitution prohibits any armed force, full stop, that is not paid for and operated by the Irish state. In fact ONE person, who is not an Irish citizen, with a gun, could be legally interpreted as a foreign force. Hence the recent and ongoing argument that as a neutral nation, with this law, we cannot allow US deliveries of weapons to Ukraine from landing at Shannon airport since those weapons are owned and operated by a foreign government. Regardless of how friendly that foreign government might be, our constitution prohibits a foreign army operating on our territory. The only way to circumvent that is to rewrite the constitution, and the only way that would happen is for the Irish population to remove our neutrality clause by a referendum, and 95% of the population will not do that! We've been a neutral nation since the foundation of the state, through every war in the 209th century and every war in the 21st including the current one n Ukraine. Although we did impose sanctions on Russia becasue we are also in the EU. A legal way around this is for the US to 'donate' these weapons to Ireland, including the aircraft that delivered them, and we would then immediately pass them on to the UK as some ort of 'gift' and the UK would then deliver them to Ukraine. Bizarre right? However other laws prevent Ireland from transiting, dealing or delivering arms, so that's sort of screwed, but at least its just a law and not a constitutional requirement. This might seem like its is complete state control of a right to bear arms... and yes, that is exactly what it is. However you can still own a weapon in ireland... Its just that not a lot of people can be bothered. Americans often cite the constitutional right to carry arms in case King George V comes back and invades the US. However Ireland has, and had, more reason to fear an invasion by the British needing us to have guns than the US will ever have. We are after all the only nation that borders with the UK. Yet we manage not to run about in the woods dressed up like an idiot playing cowboys!

This didn’t age poorly. It aged sadly.

Basically if you plan to commit sedition or treason just be REAL vague, never explicit.

Does that “Christian” militia group in Michigan remind anyone of a jihadist training group in Afghanistan??

Holy crap. THANK YOU for pointing out that initial American leadership was guilty of treason against the crown. That context is so incredibly important to what is happening right now.

Rabid nationalism is absolutely terrifying to witness.

Did Rudy advocate for violence? Rudy: Trial by Combat

Most of the politicians are lawyers. They know exactly what they're doing, and they hope that we're so ignorant that we won't notice.

My dad was a defense attorney, he would have loved listening to you. I do think he would have debated many point but he love to do that. Great job.

To many loopholes in the law to aid those of power get out of whatever illegal acts they commit... they need to rewrite laws and close all the loopholes ASAP.

Legal Eagle: *throws away lightsaber* *random guy:* MY LEG!

"You are advocating for Serfdom" That statement is irony on the highest level.

you have a great talent for taking complex topics making them easier to understand while adding a little humor. Good job!😉

The best thing about your analysis is you don't give me false hope. All the other legal eagles (especially on MSM) say such and such broke the law without the benefit of everything else you provide. Thank you for that... I can stop holding my breath in anticipation.

Let's be honest: "It depends," and "it's complicated" are the only answers that thrill me.

Burr’s “Talk less, smile more” defense helped him escape treason charges.

This is disturbing and I know it is a older show, but it is shocking. Ty for making people aware. You always have truths to tell.

Informative and entertaining. You’re delivery is precious.

"Stop the steal" is a pretty ironic slogan for a mob that proceeded to ransack the capitol

Wildlife biologist here to ruin the day. Fact check and Objection: That is a Red-tailed hawk call not an eagle. Hollywood foley artists have horribly misled you, eagles have a piping calls closer to some gulls and falcons than Buteo screams you used.

Though I am conservative and feel like this channel leans liberal, I like that it is relatively fair I don't always agree with the view, but the law is fairly sound near as I can tell.

I must say your channel has been utterly delightful and enlightening! Thank you so much!

Juxtaposing the complicated ways prosecutors dance around treason and sedition with the fact that you can get convicted of drunk driving by sleeping intoxicated in your car with the keys in the center console, and it's pretty clear how the law is anything but objective.

"Burr wasn't willing to wait for it." *Leslie Odom Jr intensifies*

Very informative, I'm learning tons about our Legal Processes.

They don’t really think we’re to stupid to see through their screams, they know that’s the case.

When a KZfaqr gives a more informed and researched take on current events than the entirety of the corporate media landscape.

"After Burr killed hamilton, the political class basically shunned Burr. and because he wasnt willing to wait for it" Just couldnt resist putting a Hamilton reference in there huh?

I like these longer videos - they provide more depth and background. Top stuff!

The definition of treason in England does indeed include levying war against the monarch or adhering to their enemies, but it also includes several other things. The legal definition in the Treason Act 1351, which is still in force, also makes it treason to: - "Compass or imagine" the death of the monarch, the queen consort (when there is one), or the monarch's eldest son and heir; - "Violate" the queen consort, the monarch's eldest unmarried daughter, or the wife of the monarch's eldest son and heir; - Kill judges of the superior courts while they are sitting as judges. And the Treason Felony Act 1848 makes it treason to "compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend to deprive or depose our Most Gracious Lady the Queen, from the style, honour, or royal name of the imperial crown of the United Kingdom, or of any other of her Majesty’s dominions and countries, or to levy war against her Majesty, within any part of the United Kingdom, in order by force or constraint to compel her to change her measures or counsels, or in order to put any force or constraint upon or in order to intimidate or overawe both Houses or either House of Parliament, or to move or stir any foreigner or stranger with force to invade the United Kingdom or any other of her Majesty’s dominions or countries under the obeisance of her Majesty, and such compassings, imaginations, inventions, devices, or intentions, or any of them, shall express, utter, or declare, by publishing any printing or writing or by any overt act or deed..." Prosecutions for treason are extremely unusual nowadays, although both Roger Casement and William Joyce ("Lord Haw-Haw") were hanged for treason in the 20th century. Some people speculated that Dodi Al Fayed could be guilty of treason for having an affair with Princess Diana, but he was never prosecuted. More recently, the editor of the Guardian brought a civil claim seeking a declaration that advocating for the abolition of the monarchy did not amount to treason under the 1848 Act, interpreted in light of the Human RIghts Act 1998. It went up to the House of Lords (at the time the UK's highest court) and he lost, essentially on the basis that it was a purely hypothetical issue and the court would not make a declaration about whether hypothetical conduct was or wasn't criminal (Rusbridger v Attorney-General [2003] UKHL 38).

Devin you are great, you and your pals give really concise explanations off what's going on. And I gotta say, your segues into commercials always make me laugh, bigly.

Very digestible, clear, and strangely funny. Good job young man. Excellent.

I had to hit the like button 3 times just for the 7% more gravitas.

I do not appreciate those high definition close-ups of Burr and Sessions' faces

Always interesting, thanks.

Thank you for this video. You boil down the facts so everyone can understand them.

Stephen Colbert called Ali Alexander “Sammy Davis Hitler” 🤣

Enjoyed the Hamilton jokes. Also the history lesson on Burr.

I have given much thought to the January 6 insurrection and I have concluded that there is sufficient foundation for charges of sedition for those who engaged in this attempt to over throw the U S Government with force, ability and willful intent. I also believe that there is sufficient grounds for expulsion of certain members of Congress who supported that effort. This video you posted confirms alot of what I was thinking. Now we wait to see if this will carry through with consequences.

Big fan you really are good at making the complicated understandable

"So, it's treason then" *HUZZAH, A MAN OF QUALITY!*

Brooks: "Louder" Script Writer: *facepalm* He's reading the stage directions again...

These legal summaries are brilliant

This video just came up for me on the first Friday in February 2022. This makes the Jan 6th commission and DOJ taking so long make sense. It will be interesting to see what happens now because earlier today the GOP declared what happened as perfectly fine

The Irony is that if most of the rotors wore face masks it would be a lot harder to prosecute them

Wouldn’t delaying the national guard’s response count as an overt act as part of the conspiracy?

A fascinating discussion even almost a year after the events. Do you have a follow-up video addressing sedition/treason/insurrection charges with all of the new facts that have come out?

I think we can all agree on 2 things here 1: The existing laws are inadequate for dealing with these crimes 2: if left unpunished, this will happen again, and we risk losing America (again) I also think that most of us would agree that they expertly tippy toed around the few existing laws and precedents, in the attempt to commit actions that these laws sought to prevent. And so it is kind of hard to see that the people will accept these people not being found guilty, just because technically they didn't break any laws. Now luckily, as the investigations into jan 6th continue, we are learning more and more about those responsible and their involvement. And the evidence currently made available to the public is starting to get awfully close to them actually crossing those lines. (If they didn't cross them already) And i could imagine the vast amounts of evidence that is not yet made public will be enough to prove that they did in fact cross those lines And that should result in their prosecution. But i fear what will happen if it does not. Will you let the biggest crime against America go unpunished because of technicalities? Or will you stretch the laws just enough to cover the parts where they tippy toed around? Which is the lesser of 2 evils? Which is the least of 2 slippery slopes?

His look of confusion before throwing the lightsaber away implies that he has multiple, and grabbed the wrong one.

So, basically, if you’re politically powerful or have allies who are, you can get away with anything.

I love your work...want more! Thank you!

Yep, and I'm still wondering why all those Senators still have jobs. Will they ever pay for their seditious conspiracy?

My old Polisci teacher once said "the line between a protest and a riot is a brick"

The 7% gravitas is astonishingly impressive. Good on you. Such a relief!

I know this is an older video, but as it is making mentions in the current media, ive been digging into a hole of curiosity. Subbed to catch up on your newer videos where I hope to hear your thoughts on it. Appreciate the video!

Great video, I even enjoyed the way you worked in your sponsors at the end. However, as an Aussie, it leaves me shaking my head. Some of the actions undertaken by some of your elected officials are simply appalling to me, more so that they still hold their positions. Our countries are good friends but we are more different than people think. I lived in the US for a while which is why I have such a keen interest in what's happening there, but I think things have changed a lot politically since I was there over 12 years ago. Politicians are getting away with things now that would have ended careers in the past.

I love how every one of these is basically "Did they do the thing?" "Well yes, but legally no." :P

Considering everything that's been revealed about this in the last week, it might be time for a follow-up video for this

I would like to see a revisit of this situation

Serious topic. Hilarious delivery

"He wasn't willing to wait for it" I see what you did there good sir.

It's like pornography - hard to define, but you know it when you see it.

Thanks, this was awesome. Really connected some key dots

Of course they did. The real question remains, "Can the legal system handle it responsibly?"

I know this 10 months old, but I want to see an updated special of this once the house report or DOJ court filings are made public

I have no idea why I watch so many of these videos. I’m not even American lol

Wonderful, Thank you very much.

Given the events that have transpired since this video was uploaded I hope to find updates from this channel on this topic.

"he wasnt willing to wait for it" legal eagle spitting some lines

"If only these darn QAnon people would start taking _Skillshare_ courses" was NOT a take that I was ever expecting, but I'll allow it.

Can we get an update on this video with more highlighted by the Jan 6 investigation?

This didn't age well, given recent Jan 6 committee disclosures. 😮

This man has the kind of personality that makes you want to learn about law

"So it's treason then" is not something I expected Legal Eagle to say ever.

Thanks. Much appreciated

I LOVE the humor written into this channel, with or without GrAvItAs.

The more history I learn (and relearn) from this channel, the more I realize that in many ways absolutely nothing has changed in this country from the beginning.

The fact that they booked a parking lot of a lawn service shop for their speech because it had the same name as the 4 seasons hotel is still a mind buggering wtf for me.......

yes legal eagle I really enjoyed your channel you are spot on and I just wish there was more we could do to get these lawbreakers out of office thank you for your channel

OBJECTION: you don't consider having an armed mob storm the Capitol to be "levying war against the United States"?

"The stuff that was on Instagram deserves to be in jail" Damn... never thought I'd hear a lawyer throwing THAT level of shade.

POV: you’re talking to your new white-shoe attorney you had to hire to defend yourself against seditious conspiracy charges

I notice his glib chatter glossed over the second part of the definition of treason in the Constitution,which was more then violated on several occasions

Opening caught me off guard 😂

Why were the senators involved with the incitement allowed to participate as jury in this Impeachment trial?

These politicians have to many legal loop holes they can use 🤦🏽‍♀️😡😡.

Incredible to see someone discuss the bureaucratic nuances of fascism in such a straightforward manner.
