The constitution forbids the thought police from arresting people.
Did Trump fire the crowd up, leave, and take delight in what they did and let it linger? Maybe.
But,
he was not at the riot when it occurred.
He did not tell them to destroy property and break-in.
Dems having been using the term "fight" right and left lately to motivate "the resistance."
He specifically said to remain peaceful on video.
What you and others want to believe that he thought... is not evidence.
Never forget "Takeaway #1."

Marty,
I think you got some of the facts wrong. Trump wasn't on video that day. The Congress was supposed to confirm the electoral vote in the Capitol. Trump held a rally nearby and declared if Pence failed to act, the rally crowd would not let the confirmation take place (We're not going to let that happen!). He did use the word peaceful, but the crowd wasn't listening. Trump encouraged them to walk over to the Capital building and urged the audience to fight like hell or "you're not going to have a country anymore". That may sound peaceful to you but sure didn't me and his supporters. Trump had planned to go with them but the Secret Service stopped him from doing that. Marty, he wasn't on video, that happened live. I watched the whole thing on TV. Why did he organize a rally there on that day? To be peaceful? It took Trump hours to call the whole thing off. He only did that when he noticed the insurrection would fail.

I suspect that you are certain that Trump is covering his own tracks. You don't know that.
Who was Biden covering for? Bill Clinton and others?
btw...I'd like to see the files too. Somebody seems to be providing cover for something.

Well, Biden never promised to release the Epstein files. So why are you blaming him now for not doing that? There's nothing in the files. That's why there is no need to release anything. But then Trump came and said there's something in there that we have to know. He promise to release the files. Now he chickened out and said there's nothing there. You still think Biden is covering someone. Why don't you believe Trump?
