Our Judiciary system is predicated on "Innocent until proven Guilty" not the other way around.

14 Amendment, section 3 is what the NC State Board is using as their argument. They are claiming that he has given "aid and comfort" to insurrectionists by saying they've been unlawfully imprisoned and treated unjustly.
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

Not one party should have the power to investigate another party in this country. An independent Committee free of political affiliation should be the only means of investigating corruption in Washington D.D. Democrats over the last few years have been shown to be dishonest in political dealings.
