    “Convicted” is not the correct term here. That would (outside of impeachment) require a criminal charge, followed by a guilty plea or a trial, and if a trial, a finding of guilty by the finder of fact (either a judge or a jury).

    As a finding of fact, in both a Colorado district court, and in the Colorado Supreme Court, Trump “engaged in insurrection.” I would need to look and see whether Michigan and Minnesota courts found the same fact.

    None of the 14A S3 cases charge anyone with any crime.
