@no1marauder saidTwo things, if I May……
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the speech alone creates a "close case" as to whether Trump knowingly incited the crowd to insurrection. If that was all the evidence, perhaps an overruling of the State's court decision would be justified.
But there is far more than that both before, during and after the insurrection. For the before and after, I'd refer you to ...[text shortened]... asn't quite pleased his supporters attacked the Capitol with the intent of overturning the EC count?
So, after all this bellyaching, you finally come forward and say yeah, maybe there’s another side of what went on that day and maybe he’s not so guilty. So you are hedging, so that when SCOTUS shuts it down, u can say you knew they might’? Jesus…..and duh.
Secondly, “Trump refused for hours to tell the insurrectionists(??) to leave the Capitol”?? Did he have a duty to do that? You and your crappy CO judges kicked his ass for what he did NOT do?!?!?? Would that be an issue for the court,, what he did NOT do???? Holy Smokes, Marauder. I am going to turn on my NexLex for that one. Must have missed that class.
I am going to reread your post, be sure I got it right.
@averagejoe1 saidIt was his job to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" according to the oath he took. The fact that he refused to do so by telling the mob he had assembled to disperse for hours and stop violently interfering with the the counting and certification of the Electoral College mandated by the Constitution is surely evidence of his intent.

@metal-brain saidHow appropriate that you compare Trump to Saddam Hussein.
That is what Saddam Hussein said. Why did people say he rigged the elections?
@no1marauder saidexcept for Trump told them to protest peacefully…you are making an ass of yourself with your lies and anti American rhetoric

@averagejoe1 saidYes, yes, and yes, what you do NOT do can constitute severe dereliction of duty. If you do not feed your infant and it dies, you are guilty of criminal neglect. Trump clearly revelled in the riot he caused and hoped it would lead to Biden's victory being set aside; that's why he waited so long to call off the wolves he'd set loose. Even McConnell said Trumps' behavior on January 6th was despicable, but McConnell hadn't the balls to impeach him.

@mott-the-hoople saidTrump's one throwaway line hardly comports with reality; the fact he was still pretending they were "peaceful" well after they had violently broke into the Capitol and later praised the mob's actions (see his 6:01 tweet) show his attitude towards the violence.

“I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”

@mott-the-hoople saidBoth of those tweets were AFTER the mob had already broken into the Capitol by violently attacking police and smashing windows and breaking down doors, something Trump had watched on TV.
“Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!”
https://x.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1346904110969315332?s=46&t=c0rRJR1is3W18Q_d4CKZ7Q
He was lying as usual, pretending they were being peaceful.
@mott-the-hoople said"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!"
“Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!”

@averagejoe1 saidIF Trump really wanted his mob to be peaceful, how come he didn't send something like this after he saw them violently attacking police and smashing windows and breaking down doors to get into the Capitol?:

"Well gee whiz folks, I didn't mean for you to do that! Please immediately leave the Capitol as you are trespassers. And while you're at it, could you please stop hitting police with any available object you can find and stop spraying chemicals in their face?
Thanks a bunch. Love and kisses,
Donald Trump".
