Use Trump's anti-BLM Executive Order to arrest him, given those who invaded the Capitol 10 yrs. & defund the Capitol cops

I'll make this blog post simple and short, so I'll get straight to the point.

You may remember that back in June, while the Black Lives Matter protests were raging in the wake of the death of George Floyd, that US President Donald Trump issued an executive order that threatened up to ten years in federal prison for destruction of federal property.

.....This action is taken effective immediately, but may also be used retroactively for destruction or vandalism already caused. There will be no exceptions!

Later, on 26 June 2020, he actually did issue "Executive Order on Protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues and Combating Recent Criminal Violence"

Which clearly states:

Sec. 2.  Policy.  (a)  It is the policy of the United States to prosecute to the fullest extent permitted under Federal law, and as appropriate, any person or any entity that destroys, damages, vandalizes, or desecrates a monument, memorial, or statue within the United States or otherwise vandalizes government property. 

This would certainly include those who trespassed in, and vandalized, the Capitol building. It continues:

The desire of the Congress to protect Federal property is clearly reflected in section 1361 of title 18, United States Code, which authorizes a penalty of up to 10 years’ imprisonment for the willful injury of Federal property. 

It would also seem that these Trump terrorists should be eligible for that maximum. Trump's Executive Order also applies to those who merely incite the violence and destruction:

(b)  It is the policy of the United States to prosecute to the fullest extent permitted under Federal law, and as appropriate, any person or any entity that participates in efforts to incite violence or other illegal activity in connection with the riots and acts of vandalism described in section 1 of this order.

So it seems to me that Trump should be charged under the terms of his own Executive Order, along with Rudy and Don Jr. And finally:

(e) It is the policy of the United States, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to withhold Federal support from State and local law enforcement agencies that have failed to protect public monuments, memorials, and statues from destruction or vandalism.

So, it seems to me that Trump's Executive Order also give good grounds for defunding the Capitol Police. 

More, later...
