My gut tells me that the “insurance policy” they discussed involved assassinating the president. Whatever it is must be terrible because people who know better are openly engaging in Sedition to persuade government officials to defy the president’s order to reveal their secrets. Sedition itself is a capital crime but has rarely been tried, while plotting to murder the president would earn a certain death penalty. Time will tell...

I don’t think so. Nunes and Trump already know what it is, and if it was that grave it would have been exposed immediately and people arrested.
It definitely involves partisan abuse of power - something they’re used to doing. It’s definitely serious - it just doesn’t rise to the level of planning a murder.
We've never had people stupid enough to attempt sedition until our current crop of kooky Marxists, know as the democrat party.
It has been sedition for about 2 plus years.
However, the punishment for sedition is not capital punishment.
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, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; July 24, 1956, ch. 678, 1, 70 Stat. 623; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII;330016(1)(N), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)
If that turns out to be the case, I know someone who wants to be there to help with a quick construction project.
Kinda like a deck, but with special doors.
My friend can bring his truck and power tools and stuff... Rope or chain...
...and your sense of the situation is entirely plausible, isn’t it?
The assassination plot text will blow the door wide open.
