Seems to me that if the charge is “inciting a riot” and the defense is “They cheated and I am the rightful president” it’s almost an admission that inciting a riot seems like a fine and justified action.

For the record: I think Trump is the rightful president and I don’t think he incited a riot. But I also think this is an unwise defense.

I agree.

The issue is the illegality of this legal device

The defense is that if people revolted, it's because the Congress certified a blatantly fraudulent election, that many in Congress were illegitimately certified winners as well, and it had nothing to do with Trump's comments thatb day. There was a problem because the Congress ignored the consent of the governed. That's how the country was founded

I agree. There’s plenty of time to put together the evidence of fraud”

That’s probably true.

BUT the election fraud could be used to show WHY so many showed up and were so angry. They did not need Trump doing anything to protest. It’s the fraud - and democrats and republicans that did it - that caused the protedt.

Absolutely. President Trump should be a GOPe doormat and argue Constitutional points of order while the corpse of the stolen election stinks to high heaven the in the very chamber that certified it in a bipartisan manner 93-7.

The GOP is absolutely terrified of discussing the stolen election and doing everything they can to bully Trump into dropping it. He is under no obligation to follow China Mitch’s orders. Period.
