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.
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.
