Is George Soros Guilty of Seditious Conspiracy?

On May 30, media figure Bill Mitchell, tweeted “GOP, STOP coddling George Soros! Arrest him. Seize his assets. Seize his records. Arrest his co-conspirators. Charge him with seditious conspiracy. Try him [and] then throw him in prison for the rest of his miserable life.”

The U.S. Code as cited by the Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute defines seditious conspiracy” If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.”

Of course, liberal sources ridicule the idea.  An example can be found on the Jewish News of Northern California website. Yet dismissal is not argument or evidence.

Perhaps some reputable true investigative journalists will undertake this project. We need documentation either way. A free people cannot afford to commit societal suicide. Sin is real. Few just societies exist.

If the evidence exists as often claimed by such media folks as James Woods and Candace Owens, people who love justice should compel our law enforcement representatives to take the next step. It’s a battle for survival of justice and liberty for all.

Noah Webster Definitions

Insurrection, n. [L. insurgo; in and surgo, to rise.]

A rising against civil or political authority; the open and active opposition of a number of persons to the execution of a law in a city or state.  It is equivalent to sedition, except that sedition expresses a less extensive rising of citizens.  It differs from rebellion, for the latter expresses a revolt, or an attempt to overthrow the government, to establish a different one or to place the country under another jurisdiction.  It differs from mutiny, as it respects the civil or political government; whereas a mutiny is an open opposition to law in the army or navy.  Insurrection is however used with such latitude as to comprehend either sedition or rebellion.

Sedition,  n.  [L. seditio. 

The sense of this word is the contrary of that which is naturally deducible from sedo, or sedeo, denoting a rising or raging, rather than an appeasing. But to set is really to throw down, to drive, and sedition may be a setting or rushing together.]  A factious commotion of the people, a tumultuous assembly of men rising in opposition to law or the administration of justice, and in disturbance of the public peace. Sedition is a rising or commotion of less extent than an insurrection, and both are less than rebellion; but some kinds of sedition, in Great Britain, amount to high treason. In general, sedition is a local or limited insurrection in opposition to civil authority, as mutiny is to military.

Rebellion, n.  [L. rebellio.  among the Romans, rebellion was originally a revolt or open resistance to their government by nations that had been subdued in war.  It was a renewed war.]

1. An open and avowed renunciation of the authority of the government to which one owes allegiance; or the taking of arms traitorously to resist the authority of lawful government; revolt.  Rebellion differs from insurrection and from mutiny.  Insurrection may be a rising in opposition to a particular act or law, without a design to renounce wholly all subjection to the government.  Insurrection may be, but is not necessarily, rebellion.  Mutiny is an insurrection of soldiers or seamen against the authority of their officers.
   
   No sooner is the standard of rebellion displayed, than men of desperate principles resort to it.

2.  Open resistance to lawful authority.
