Steve Bannon invited Jim and Joe Hoft on the WarRoom on Friday evening to discuss the “Seditious 6” and reports that the DOJ’s Todd Blanche is investigating Ed Martin instead of Adam Schiff.
Jim Hoft reported Friday on how Abraham Lincoln handled traitors and seditionists during the Civil War. This report was a topic of discussion on the War Room with Bannon and Jack Posobiec.
In the piece:
Former CIA official and current US Senator from Michigan Elizabeth Slotkin and a group of Democrat former military and intelligence community Congressmen and Senators released a video on Tuesday addressed to current military and intelligence community members.
The seditious Democrats falsely told US military soldiers, sailors and Marines, and intelligence personnel that President Trump is “pitting” them against American citizens and that they have a duty to disobey his alleged “illegal” orders.
These “Seditionist 6” Democrats were compared to seditionists and traitors caught during the Civil War.
Via Grok.
Abraham Lincoln’s administration executed people convicted of treason or related wartime offenses during the Civil War.
Confederate sympathizers and guerrillas
Several people convicted of treason, sabotage, or aiding the Confederacy were executed under Lincoln:
William Bruce Mumford was hanged in New Orleans in June 1862 for tearing down a U.S. flag (convicted of treason by a military commission under Gen. Benjamin Butler; Lincoln did not intervene).
At least four men in Missouri were executed in 1864 for treason after being caught crossing Union lines to join the Confederate army.
Numerous Confederate guerrillas, bridge-burners, and spies (e.g., Sam Davis in Tennessee, 1863) were hanged after military trials.
Border-state and Northern civilians
Executions of civilians for treason were rare in the loyal states, but they did happen. The most prominent case that Lincoln declined execution was the 1864–1865 trials of the “Sons of Liberty” (Northern Copperhead conspirators). Several were sentenced to death, but Lincoln commuted most sentences to life imprisonment, and none were ultimately executed.
Lincoln was notably merciful by the standards of civil-war presidents. He routinely pardoned or commuted death sentences for sleeping sentries, deserters, and even some convicted spies and saboteurs. Of the roughly 267 Union soldiers formally sentenced to death and forwarded to him for review, he approved execution in fewer than 50 cases.
In addition, there was a discussion of Adam Schiff’s mortgage crimes. The DOJ isn’t worried about Schiff’s crimes, they are focused on the DOJ’s Ed Martin instead. This report was released on Friday morning at JoeHoft.com and The Gateway Pundit.
