Brennan and Clapper Don't Have A Statute Of Limitations Defense Because They're Continuing The Conspiracy
2025-08-07
[Federalist] ’John Brennan and James Clapper are known liars and are digging themselves into an even deeper hole,’ White House spokesman Davis Ingle told The Federalist.

There is a lot of talk about whether former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper are protected by a statute of limitations in their roles in fabricating the Russia hoax.

But, as current CIA director John Ratcliffe pointed out, "The statute of limitations doesn’t start to run until the last act in the furtherance of that conspiracy," and the two Russia hoaxers just restarted the clock on July 30, when they decided to pen an op-ed in The New York Times filled with even more lies in an apparent cover-up.

#5  only plausible crime that could stick is malicious sedition

and although there might be enough for an indictment, I don't think there is anywhere enough for a conviction

btw, a few J6 folk were convicted of malicious sedition (I didn't think there was enough to make that stick either and in fact I thought an intelligent juror would laugh when presented the evidence but then again, what do I know)

#4  Article III, Section 3, Clause 1:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

18 USC Ch. 115: TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES

US Code section §2381. Treason
It just states enemies.
So wouldn't that include Foreign and/or Domestic persons.


Also under SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES.
Wouldn't Subversive Actions include, those FED's and hired LSD's imbedded and mixed in the Jan 6er's, with instructions to incite, allow and steer protesters into certain areas to do things?

#2  Treason must involve a foreign power. Sedition is natively born.

Based on a few quick data checks.

Treason DOES NOT have a Statute of Limitations.

Subversive activities, depend on the nature of the offense, and therefore may have specific limitations.
