How Democrats Are Trying To Convince Republican Senators To Convict Trum...

Did anyone really expect Trump to say that they should walk to the Capitol with violence?  Of course not, whatever he intended, if not legal or lawful would be concealed behind legal and peaceful language.  You cannot go by what a person says, even less when that person has premier legal advice available.  "Mr. President, we know what you want to happen but you must not say that."  It is enough that the President was misled into thinking that Pence could change the vote, it's enough that the President convinced the angry mob that Pence and the Senate could be coerced into changing the vote being counted.  

Trump is responsible for everything that happened at the capitol that day because; without his lie that the election was stolen there would have been no reason for that rally, nor any reason for anyone to march on the Capitol, less any mob to be angry for any reason.

Also, Trump had no permit for any march/walk to the Capitol so it was unlawful and it ensured that the Capitol police had no warning.

Apparently not, the Capitol Police knew of the threat Trump's supporters posed on the 6th of January, so then the question becomes, why did they stand down?  Obviously, they would not have done so without orders, nor would they fail to request the resources they would anticipate being required. So that the question becomes who gave the order to stand down?  Or who contrived the stand down?

The problem is not that what Trump was saying was protected free speech, the trouble is that what Trump was saying was in service to a big lie.  His followers being violent prone bigots/racists/white supremacists/nazis, needed only the big lie to motivate them, leaving Trump to pretend he meant otherwise than to foment the violence he was actually seeking.

REMEMBER ME???

RUNNING FOR OFFICE???

TRAINING DAY AT THE CAPITOL?

The Sedition Act of 1918 (Pub.L. 65–150, 40 Stat. 553, enacted May 16, 1918) was an Act of the United States Congress that extended the Espionage Act of 1917 to cover a broader range of offenses, notably speech and the expression of opinion that cast the government or the war effort in a negative light or interfered with the sale of government bonds.[1] It forbade the use of "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the United States government, its flag, or its armed forces or that caused others to view the American government or its institutions with contempt. Those convicted under the act generally received sentences of imprisonment for five to 20 years.
