From FBI link: In using the term Domestic Terrorism, DHS looks to the Homeland Security Act definition of terrorism, 6 U.S.C. 101(18), which is substantially similar but not identical to the title 18 definition. That provision defines terrorism as any activity that:
• Involves an act that:
-
Is dangerous to human life or potentially destructive of critical infrastructure or key resources; and
-
Is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State or other subdivision of the United States; and
• Appears to be intended:
-
To intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
-
To influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
-
To affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping.
Could he? Certainly, his actions certainly seem to fit the text of the law. Will he, under this administration? <laughter> That would be an incredibly cold day in hell.
Perhaps the next administration might pursue charges, but that’s still quite unlikely.
If there was a risk of that, he would have to make sure there isn’t a next administration.
He’ll likely get a preemptive pardon like Biden’s family & cronies got last month.
