The insurrection act requires that you first formally declare who your insurgents are. Who are the insurgents? I've seen no declaration.

I think Trump has a loophole with his international election interference EO from 2018 and can use that as the basis for military intervention rather than a formal declaration of the IA. If that's the case then Trump's radio silence speaks volumes on why Dems are shitting their pants, and Trump's anti-chinese investments EO explains why Big Tech is currently going scorched earth. Unfortunately it's only speculation right now and I don't have anything concrete either.

2018 Executive Order on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election changes that statute. Further, he came out on Wednesday and told all who gathered at the Capital to disperse. He covered his bases.

I have little faith this is going anywhere, but if all of what happened at the capital was all part of a larger plan, it'd be crazy awesome.

It requires you to tell them to stop their actions, which he has been doing for months now at every level of this fiasco.
