against Donald Trump for incitement. My concern all along was proving intent. Having watched the timetable of events, its that crucial hour into the riots and knowing what Trump knew about what his words in his infamous speech before they left, had already done to this crowd - smashing windows, attacking the cops etc . He waits in total silence for 40 minutes having people beg him to call for calm, and instead he 'tweets' that same speech all over again. He puts those incendiary words right out there again, leaving no doubt that he liked what they accomplished last time. We can wonder what he intended the first time they were said, but there is no doubt in my mind of what he intended the second time, and it sure as hell was not a call to disarm. It was a call to keep it up.
That along with his delay ordering more troops, his refusal to condemn the riots or violence, is enough and all the other contextual evidence over the last few weeks, is enough to show he wanted this very result to move forward.
These House Managers have done a very good job of putting this timeline together in both days 1 and two and wrapping up in the context of his 'big lie' and the Biden Bus attack etc.
