Let that sink in. The very statute used to jail Trump supporters — many of whom never even stepped foot inside the Capitol — could now be used to investigate the architects of Crossfire Hurricane, the Russia hoax, and the broader effort to sabotage Trump’s presidency.
The irony is delicious. The same legal charge once reserved for terrorists and bombers — like those behind the 1993 World Trade Center attack — was twisted by Biden’s DOJ into a political weapon. Now it may come full circle.
Julie Kelly didn’t hold back. She tore into the obvious double standards used to destroy the lives of Americans caught up in the post-January 6th dragnet. According to Kelly, Biden’s DOJ managed to convict individuals of seditious conspiracy — even though, in many cases, they weren’t in D.C. on January 6th, and in some cases, never entered the Capitol at all.
“Only one had some sort of weapon. I think, you know, a pocketknife or something only,” she pointed out.
So what exactly are we calling “seditious” here?
Benny Johnson didn’t mince words when describing what really constitutes a threat to democracy.
“Did they have the power to overthrow the U.S. government? And of course, of course, that’s laughably no. Yet these people did have the power to overthrow the government. They use the most powerful intelligence community resources known to man, and they weaponized them against Donald Trump.”
Kelly’s case rests on one core truth: the legal precedent has already been set. Biden’s team opened the door — now they may have to walk through it.
And here’s where Kelly’s argument hits hardest — what defines “force” in a seditious conspiracy case?
Biden’s DOJ told the courts that physical violence wasn’t even necessary. The suggestion of planned “force,” even non-physical, was enough to secure convictions.
“They said physical force wasn’t necessary, that any sort of force that they planned to use force. Well, it doesn’t have to be physical force,” she said.
By that standard, what does it mean when the full weight of the federal government is brought down on a sitting president?
“When you have the full force of the intelligence community, the White House, the Oval Office, the DOJ, the FBI, CIA, every single major, powerful, unaccountable government agency coming down on your head,” Kelly continued, “How can you say that’s not by force? That’s way worse than someone opening a door with Capitol Police standing right there going into a government building on a Wednesday afternoon.”
If “force” now includes bureaucratic, institutional, and psychological pressure — then what Obama and Biden’s teams allegedly orchestrated against Trump qualifies tenfold.
According to Kelly, this operation spans across two presidencies — a seamless continuation from Obama’s administration to Biden’s, with the clear goal of blocking Trump from taking back power and erasing his political legacy.
In a shocking twist, Kelly also believes that Special Counsel Jack Smith was preparing to slap Trump with seditious conspiracy charges — if Trump had lost in 2024.
But the American people had other plans.
Thanks to Trump’s commanding victory, Kelly argues it’s time for the pendulum to swing the other way. Those who were targeted by Biden’s DOJ now want justice.
“Would love to see seditious conspiracy thrown back,” Kelly said, referring to the victims of this unprecedented political persecution.
And who could blame them?
Everyday Americans were dragged through the mud, imprisoned, bankrupted, and silenced — while the political elite operated with impunity. It’s the clearest example yet of a two-tiered justice system.
Kelly issued a challenge to the next Republican administration, saying:
“I do think that that should be one of the statutes on the table for the Trump DOJ to consider.”
And she’s absolutely right.
The tools exist. The precedent is there. The evidence of abuse is overwhelming.
Now it all comes down to whether Trump’s DOJ will finally put an end to the Washington double standard — and hold those in power accountable using the very rules they wrote.
The American people demanded justice at the ballot box.
It’s time for the new DOJ to deliver it.
