I was thinking of the 1,000+ insurrectionists who have pleaded guilty to or been convicted of crimes.

Judge Chutkan Hits the Pause Button
CNN: "The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case has temporarily paused all procedural deadlines while appeals over a major issue play out – which could lead to his March 2024 trial date being pushed back.
"The order from Judge Tanya Chutkan acknowledged that she no longer has jurisdiction over aspects of the criminal case while the DC Circuit Court of Appeals considers whether Trump is immune and can be tried. In a bid to speed that appeals process, special counsel Jack Smith has asked the Supreme Court to step in." Full Story

"Trump brings garbage cases to court". Yet the DOJ coordinating with leftist prosecutors to scrounge up obscure, rarely used, and misused laws like the1917 Espionage Act, the 2002 Enron case, criminalizing the presidential records act, applying a law from 1869 pertaining to confederate soldiers, applying RICO against people challenging election results, and prosecuting the person that was extorted instead of the extortionist in a NDA.
Bravo, that takes the cake in garbage cases.

Oh, now you're inflating many that were maybe trespassing as " insurrectionists".

This is what’s called trying to put a square peg in a round hole by misapplying laws to alleged “crimes”.
Lots of people wax eloquently about what a court will do, only to find out different when the court actually rules.
How many have been convicted of insurrection?
New York Fraud Trial Status
Testimony is now concluded in Trump's NY civil fraud trial. The parties will write their final briefs and next appear in court Jan 11, 2024 to give their closing arguments. Judge Engoron said he hopes to render a verdict by the end of January.
Before the trial began in October, Engoron responded to requests from both sides for a ruling. He found Trump liable of one of the main fraud claims by the AG’s office and canceled the Trump Organization’s NY business licenses and the dissolution of those entities (the "corporate death pelanty"). That ruling was appealed by Trump and is currently stayed as the appeals court deals considers it. The remaining claims in the AG's lawsuit were heard in the testimony phase that just concluded.
Trump has said he will not seek a settlement in this case. However, he has said that before in other cases only to later settle. If Trump does not settle and Engoron rules, Trump is likely to appeal that ruling too. Then the entire matter will be managed at the appellate levels.

To emphasize the point that if they haven't been convicted of insurrection, they a can't be correctly labeled "insurrectionists". This gaslighting comes from the J6 committee and the Democrat party as part of their campaign against Trump.
Pretty broad brush, right?One needs not be charged and convicted....
Definition of INSURRECTION
an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government… See the full definitionwww.merriam-webster.com
Pilgrim is quite good at discussing a subject with logic.
Yes he is.... My mistake.
There are numerous terms that can be said to apply or not apply, depending on how the term is defined, the person's behavior, other people's views of the definition or behavior, and whatever legal meaning one chooses to assign. Examples include rebel (as in Civil War rebel), Christian, weightlifter, and trucker. Additionally, for any such term, there are people who are fond of using "real" as an additional qualifier; as in he's not a real Republican or he's not a real athlete.
My use of "insurrectionist" is not me trying to gaslight anyone, or make an anti-Trump statement. In my mind, and by my definition, an insurrectionist is someone who participated in the January 6 insurrection, or is sympathetic to the behavior expressed by those who did. I'm not using the term in a narrow legal sense, but in a broad sense.
