Politically, I agree, and he does have blood on his hands.


I believe he spun up that crowd of dunces and unleashed them. 5 people died. That they weren’t legislators doesn’t lessen the blood on his hands.

Legally, the question is very different. I am certainly not qualified to opine on that. And I can tell you this - our democracy has been under siege and may still be as long as Trump’s in office. May still be when he’s gone, with a bunch of armed imbeciles running around thinking they have a unilateral right to disavow an election they don’t like. So the way to combat that is to double down on things like innocent until proven guilty, not angrily abandon them. Jury composition is one question. What the law actually says is another.
