DOJ Brief Says "Proud Boy" Defendant Committed Act of "Terrorism." This is What Trump Incited
In a recent Department of Justice brief in the prosecution of insurrectionist defendant Robert Gieswein, DOJ stated that what the defendant did qualifies as "a federal crime of terrorism" as that term is defined in the federal criminal code (18 USC section 2332b(g)(5)).
This determination arguably ups the criminal ante for those who organized, encouraged and incited the insurrection, given that those who carried out the insurrection committed an act of terrorism, per DOJ prosecutors.
