    as of now alleged crimes Trump has been accused of

    Thats the issue. Innocent until proven guilty. I believe he’s guilty, but for setting legal precedent this makes accusations enough to bar a candidate in an election.

      But also my understanding is there’s nothing in the law requiring criminal conviction for sedition or insurrection or whatever the proper term is. I’m not sure who is supposed to be the determiner of fact. I think that’s why several of the states took it upon themselves. Hence why SCOTUS is almost certainly going to have to determine some of these issues. But I also could be talking out my ass.
