Watergate prosecutor says slapping Trump with a charge for rebellion or insurrection could prevent him from ever holding office again

If Donald Trump were to be charged with rebellion or insurrection, he wouldn't be able to hold office again.

Wine-Banks was asked if she believed Trump would be indicted for obstruction of justice. One of the best crimes to indict the former president for is rebellion or insurrection, according to her.

Wine-Banks said it would be terrible not to act on what is obvious to anyone who has watched the hearings.

She noted that, unlike a seditious conspiracy charge, a rebellion or insurrection charge would prevent the convict from holding federal office again.

Wine-Banks said the penalty was more important than jailing the president.

The testimonies presented at the January 6 hearings could lead to other charges.

Wine-Banks said there were many things based on Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony.

Wine-Banks thought that Trump's actions on January 6 could be worse than those of Nixon.

She joined figures like former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney who commented on how Trump could be charged with a crime. The January 6 panel may have evidence that could lead to Trump being charged with obstruction of justice.
