Still, that has nothing to do with him telling people to riot and kill, which never happened. He told people that we can't let them steal the election, and that you need to be strong but peaceful. That is nowhere near enough to impeach the man, imo, or to hold him accountable in a court of law or whatever. Trump was very clever in his choice of words. Legality and morality are two very different things. Let's be careful not to conflate them. You don't have a legal case that can hold up under scrutiny, I'm sorry to say.

Here's what legal scholar, Garrett Epps, concluded

Quote:Trump clearly knew there were people in that crowd who were ready to and intended to be violent, and he certainly did nothing to discourage that. He not only did nothing to discourage it, he strongly hinted it should happen.

And the key points of the speech that you forgot to mention:

'We won this election, and we won it by a landslide'

'We will stop the steal'

'We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn't happen'

'If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore'
Yup weeks of lying and fearmongering with the full knowledge his followers would try and disrupt the election and commit violence. Because that was the only logical outcome. But AI must downplay it no matter what  Hehe
