It depends whether the jailing and imprisonment is arbitrary or for cause. Any attempt of mounting an insurrection, however harebrained, 100% qualifies as valid reason for a lifetime sentence.

That’s silly criteria, the tyrant will find a cause. “Give me the man and I will give you the case against him." It’s just not a good idea to arrest your political rivals. Trump didn’t arrest Hillary Clinton.
Did Hillary Clinton mount an insurrection? No, she did not. Well, Trump did, and it's legally unforgivable.
Fwiw, Hillary Clinton did sabotage the Democratic party, burning the chances of Bernie Sanders, but that's very different from trying to overthrow an election by force.
