I'm not talking about the hard-core (Q Anon, Proud Boys, Boogaloo, etc.) but the ones who went to D.C. thinking it would be swell to be in a demonstration and maybe get a bit wild.
They are already coming out with court statements saying they were following the behests of their president.
To ensure a conviction in the Senate, we need more of this.
Additionally, McConnell holding the trial a week later could work to our advantage as details of a plan emerge. The plan might even reach the WH via Roger Stone types. I don't know if that, if so, will ever be proved, but if McConnell and other senators see Stone's name or Guiliani's name or the name of another bad actor closely associated with Trump, that would also encourage conviction. (Remember: House managers needn't reach a legal threshold.)
