    Literal takeover of the government is being planned in the open. Why aren’t they in prison?

        You mean other than fomenting a coup against the U.S. government, hiring fake electors and trying to get Georgia officials to commit election fraud?

          Those are not directly relevant to what this think tank is doing, which is what I was replying to. The think tank has broken no laws, so there is no crime to be pursued.

            Conspiracy to commit a felony is a crime.

            A conspiracy occurs when two or more people agree to commit an illegal act and take some step toward its completion. Conspiracy is an inchoate crime because it does not require that the illegal act actually have been completed.
