USA Politics

It is a federal district but it has its own city government and judicial system, so I assume a crime charged by DC itself would not be a federal crime. The powers are derived from congress rather than a state though, so I’m not sure.

By the way this is all going to intensity the push to make DC a state.

That is sick. There must surely be a lot of people going to prison after this.
 
Traitors and cop killers. Put Trump and all this scum on trial ASAP. By now it's no longer USA's institutions that are at stake if all these turds avoid doing time... it's the entire basis of all eastern democracy that's threatened. Justice for Officer Sicknick.

Oh boy. As a foreigner I won't even get into that (both due to lack of knowledge regarding lots of Presidents but also out of respect). But my favorite is Tricky Dick.

So they considered Pence to be worthy of lynching and a fair few of them would have been stupid enough to attempt it too: and Trump wasn't likely to do anything effectual to stop it. Might this possibly colour Pence's thinking about whether to facilitate Trump's expeditious removal from power?
