  • The video discusses the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, claiming the FBI deployed 267 plainclothes agents to incite the event, aiming to villainize Donald Trump and justify his removal from social media platforms.
  • It alleges a broader conspiracy involving the “deep state,” suggesting a long-term effort to maintain power by manipulating elections through controlled candidates on both sides, ensuring their preferred outcomes.
  • The narrative includes claims of election fraud in 2020, citing changes in election laws due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which supposedly facilitated mail-in voting and ballot stuffing, with social media censorship preventing exposure.
  • It asserts Trump’s 2016 win threatened this system, leading to efforts like Russian collusion allegations, impeachments, and the January 6 event to discredit and remove him.
  • The video also mentions Trump’s 2024 campaign, alleging attempts to block him through legal actions, voter manipulation in primaries, and assassination attempts, framing these as desperate measures by the deep state.
  • Related news includes the recent revelation of an FBI after-action report on January 6, which confirmed the deployment of over 250 agents, sparking debates about the FBI’s role and political bias, as reported by Just The News on September 25, 2025 [Just The News, 2025-09-25].

Insurrection rules

The U.S. Constitution sets minimal eligibility requirements for the presidency: a candidate must be a natural-born U.S. citizen, at least 35 years old, and a resident of the U.S. for at least 14 years. There’s no explicit constitutional bar on running due to criminal convictions, including insurrection.However, certain crimes or legal consequences can indirectly disqualify a candidate:

  1. Insurrection and the 14th Amendment, Section 3: This section bars individuals who have taken an oath to support the Constitution and then engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the U.S., or given aid to its enemies, from holding office. This could apply to someone convicted of or found to have participated in insurrection (e.g., related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot), but it requires legal action, such as a court ruling or congressional enforcement, to take effect. It’s not automatic.
  2. State Laws and Felony Convictions: While the Constitution doesn’t bar felons from running, some states have laws restricting felons from holding certain offices. For example, a felony conviction might complicate ballot access or eligibility for state-level offices, but these vary and don’t always apply to federal offices like the presidency. The Supreme Court has ruled that states cannot add qualifications beyond those in the Constitution for federal offices, so these restrictions are limited.
  3. Practical Barriers: Even if not legally barred, a candidate convicted of serious crimes (e.g., treason, sedition, or other felonies) could face significant political and logistical challenges, such as voter rejection, campaign funding issues, or legal battles over eligibility.

No one has been definitively barred from running for president solely due to an insurrection-related conviction, as the 14th Amendment’s enforcement in this context is rare and untested in modern times. Other crimes don’t explicitly disqualify someone unless they trigger specific constitutional or legal provisions.
