Yeah but there could be. Let's hope they find enough evidence to add that charge there if it was.

No, there couldn't be. That's not a charge. No one gets charged with domestic terrorism, that's not a thing.

I see what you're saying now. It's not a specific charge bc domestic terrorism is to broad of a term and can umbrella several different crimes but it's still a type of crime that can be investigated for more specific charges.

They attacked a grid which is seen as domestic terrorism as it affects thousands of people. So since it's not an actual charge we are free to just call them domestic terrorists. Lol

Yeah exactly. They very well may be domestic terrorists. They can be charged with plenty, it's just the US doesn't have that legal criminal charge.
