I believe that the materials they’ll release later in the week will be more specific. Remember, these hearings were for public consumption and to highlight some of the materials they’ve gathered over the course of the investigation, as well as to make their core arguments. There was too much material to have it all mentioned in the hearings themselves.

A.K.A. “Aid and Comfort.”
People act like the Constitution is some kind of inscrutable, complex document that only those who have said the magic words and have the secret handshake can interpret. Bullshit. The most important stuff is written in plain language.
If you’ve provided funds or assistance to people who attempted to overthrow the government of the United States, from within or without, you’re a traitor. Period.

you mean “tour of the capitol” isn’t a synonym for “coup”? english is so confusing.

That sounds like it could be a euphemism for a coup in a country that has had way too many. “The rebels took a tour of the capitol and the former president was given a retirement necktie.”

“This court was created in 1871, along with the new form of government without the backing of the 1787 Constitution of the United States for America [sic]. This court was created 14 years after the 1787 Constitution.”

@KathyPartdeux Right?! And it gets even wackier…
Bobby Lawrence, a Pennsylvania man who’s built a following by preaching a fantasy legal theory that he describes as “American state nationalism.”
“By and large everyone equates us to sovereign citizens,” he told The Daily Beast. “That’s how the public looks at it. They don’t realize there’s a difference between a national and a city-zen. City-zen. Municipal public servant. Break down the word: city, zen, ship. Municipal servant in admiralty.”
Admiralty because “ship = navy” 
He’s correct insofar as sovereign citizenship isn’t real and no one can attain it. But his teachings, which urge followers to declare themselves as “nationals” of individual states (rather than of the U.S., which he believes is actually called the “several states”) is indistinguishable from other sovereign citizen practices.
A “national” of a state?! Not “stational” or some such BS?
At least it’s not working…
resulting in more pretrial jail from a judge who stated that “I don’t want to lock you up… But you have made it clear that you feel you are above the law.”

If they’ve renounced their citizenship- they should be deported after serving their terms. Or immediately for some.
Welcome to stateless status. I don’t think you’re going to enjoy it. But your loss is our gain.
