Find 12 angry people who spent all day Jan. 6th peering at their TV screens and put them all on the jury. If he asks, tell him he’s got a jury of his peers…

Unless the speech is likely to incite imminent lawless conduct, it is protected by the First Amendment and he can’t be charged for it. And you will not find any constitutional scholar this side of Alan Dershowitz who will say that Trump’s equivocating, wink-and-nod speech, with its repeated rejections of violence, meets that legal standard. It’s not happening.
Also, riddle me this: If all those people came to D.C. intending to storm the Capitol – which they did – can you really say Trump incited them at all? That’s like going to Arby’s for lunch and claiming the lady at the counter incited me into eating a roast beef sandwich.

I actually think Flynn was waiting in the wings for that martial law declaration. He had to settle for a pardon. Pence messed the whole thing up by not getting strung up. So much for loyalty.

Congress put too much emphasis on incitement.
His actions (and inactions) were 100 times more criminal than his words.

That really wasn’t necessary, she is also one of the smartest people in a leadership position. I truly fail to see your point.
If you have some information to back up you assertion, please share.

Dislike is not the word I would use.
I’ve hated that guy from the very first time I saw his ugly, tacky, smug mug selling his empty life on teevee.
I’ll dance a gig when he kicks off, and it’ll be the best gig ever.
steviedee was just providing trumps dialog.

I would think that the video of that bunch of parasites watching the assault on teevee, guilafoil doing her little cha cha, cocktail napkins full of hors 'd oerves captures trumps culpability, watching on teevee and doing nothing about it.

Didn’t he make some statements about that date other than in the same-day speech? Any of those more problematic?

That was the warm up before the speeches. They may have been anticipating but weren’t celebrating the riot…yet.

He referred to January 6 a couple weeks ahead of time and said it was going to be wild. But that’s protected because there was not incitement to imminent unlawful conduct.
Again, Trump didn’t need to incite anybody. They were already incited to insurrect.

I suppose that would be a heavy lift to establish, if only his statements that day are considered. Would past statements, suggestions, claims and requests relating to the day and the vote certification be able to illuminate the subject?
Most of us have formed opinions on whether the mf started it. But why and how, specifically, did he botch the finish?
If there was a plan, why did it fail? How did he fuck this up so badly?
What a loser

First word is “Whoever” and nowhere in the law does it say “except donald trump”.
By whom?
you say cicadas;
He was counting on help from the military, why he had his best stooges on the line fielding the phone calls for help. I think he had been promised help from Putin if he got the military involved. When are they gonna charge the treasonous POS with treason?
