Mark Zaid, defended his tweets calling for a “coup” against the Trump. Zaid claims to be nonpartisan but he is obviously not when he calls for a coup against the president of the United States. He wrote in early 2017 that a “coup” against Trump “has started,” and that “rebellion” would come, to be followed by “impeachment.” He is fully on board in the coup to overthrow Trump. He wrote back in July 2017: “We will get rid of him, and this country is strong enough to survive even him and his supporters.”

Do notice that in every case "force" must be involved for anyone to be charged under this.

I hope there will be cases in which conspiracy will be charged, with the group being rather broad and even a single person in the group employing force.

But force does have to be involved.

Just tweeting for a coup without anyone in your group actually using force is not illegal.

Agreed, but what is the definition of "Force":

Definition of force

  • 1a(1) : strength or energy exerted or brought to bear : cause of motion or change : active power the forces of nature the motivating force in her life
  • (2) capitalized —used with a number to indicate the strength of the wind according to the Beaufort scalea Force 10 hurricane
  • b : moral or mental strength I was impressed by the force of his character.
  • c : capacity to persuade or convince

My favorite is (2) c - Pretty much every democrat, lefty and media lapdog is guilty of force.

One of the nowhere near enough to know things I've learned from a lot of time with lawyers is that words in the law have to be interpreted as per a hell of a lot of stuff.

Now it MAY be that there really is case law where "use of force" has been nothing but "capacity to persuade" but it sounds a stretch and I'd want to see it before giving credibility to the idea that that is the legal meaning in a context such as this.

If so minor, then why bother repeatedly adding the qualifaction about force. Nearly everyone has some ability to persuade or convince.

No, idiot. It doesn't. It's implied. And encouraged.
