You want some witnesses for the impeachment, Democrats? ABC found some:
‘Because President Trump said to’: Over a dozen Capitol rioters say they were following Trump’s guidance
With former President Donald Trump’s second
impeachment
trial starting today, Senate Democrats are focused on trying to tie a direct line between Trump’s rhetoric and the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.An ABC News investigation into the nearly 200 accused rioters facing federal charges for their alleged involvement at the Capitol [ED: so far] — based on court filings, military records, interviews, and available news reports– found that at least fifteen individuals who stormed the building have since said that they acted based on Trump’s encouragement, including some of those accused of the most violent and serious crimes.
And it goes on to quotes and back stories for many of the insurrectionists about how they were inspired/instructed by Hair Füror to storm the Capitol.
Just sayin’ you don’t have to be Mattlock to know that first-hand testimony is pretty powerful stuff.
This reminds me of the old Flip Wilson routine. “The devil made me do it.” These were grown ass adults behaving like animals, destroying and murdering. Now they’re all crying and pointing fingers because they got caught. I guess they were too stupid to realize their actions have consequences. Screw them. Put them in jail and let them lament over their lost freedom.

Not saying they should be let off the hook due to incitement, but this post is saying they believed Trump told them to storm the capital.
Seems like two separate cases, if not two separate issues.

Yep – and it contradicts what LDN’s lawyers are saying. Since he didn’t say these exact words, it doesn’t count as incitement, right? It’s a domestic abuser’s tactic.
Michael Cohen could explain it to the senate, but then he already did.
