Sedition would be if some domestic terrorist group or Sanctuary City Government, of Antifa, etc. were to conspire to overthrow, etc.

Sedition is a high crime but still less than TREASON.

It is TREASON that applies, why?

Actually, Treason and Sedition both apply but Treason is the appropriate charge for some of the criminal ring, why?

Because Sedition applies to ‘persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States’.

Whereas, Treason applies to those ‘owing allegiance to the United States’.

The DOJ and FBI persons caught in this attempted soft Coup d’Etat, a de facto act of war, took an OATH (https://www2.fbi.gov/publications/leb/2009/september2009/oath.htm) and that OATH puts them squarely into the category of persons owing allegiance to the United States.

No, you misread the statute. It says:

§2384. Seditious conspiracy If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow

The PLACE is subject to the jurisdiction, not necessarily the people. Treason appears to be concerned with a foreign enemy, whereas sedition concerns those who are in the USA or other place that is subject to the USA jurisdiction.

So, what these people are apparently guilty of is Seditious Conspiracy, not Treason.

18 U.S. Code Section 2381 - Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

The legal challenge will be steep. The other thing is unless a state can file a charge and convict, they will all be pardoned when a Rat gets elected. So......what states are they from???????
