CNN:' DOJ says an Oath Keepers leader waited for Trump's direction before Capitol attack'
https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/11/politics/oath-keeper-justice-trump-capitol/index.html'The Justice Department is now making clear that a leader among the Oath Keepers paramilitary group -- who planned and led others in the US Capitol siege to attempt to stop the Biden presidency -- believed she was responding to the call from then-President Donald Trump himself.
"As the inauguration grew nearer, [Jessica] Watkins indicated that she was awaiting direction from President Trump," prosecutors wrote in a filing Thursday morning.
This is the most direct language yet from federal prosecutors linking Trump's requests for support in Washington, DC, to the most militant aspects of the insurrection.'
So it follows that Trump will be prosecuted? If not why the hell not?
