Well, at least if he is convicted on at least one charge, Trump can be barred from running for president.
That depends. If the charge is insurrection, sedition, or treason, you are correct. No other crimes carry that ban, to my knowledge.
The pity is that Trump isn’t charged with any of those three. If he’s convicted on the 6 January stuff, the prosecutors will have to demonstrate that the riot qualified as ‘insurrection or rebellion’.
Remember - Eugene Debs ran for President while he was serving jail time for sedition. Got nearly a million votes.
