I have no doubt that Trump and his team

communicated or met with the rioters before hand, specifically the Proud Boys, Oathkeepers and others with a plan to stop the certification of the election and perhaps bring about a situation where he could declare Martial Law.
Trump well knew what sending the crowd to the Capitol would result in.

The only open question for me is if Jack Smith has enough evidence to indict him for this?

And others he and the Grand Jury spoke with.

Ivanka holds some of the keys as well.

but did they give him enough?

It's like the Classified Doc trial, so far there isn't a charge for giving top secrets to a foreign agent, even though we think he must have.

He left that to Roger Stone and the other criminals. Mob bosses don't like to soil their hands with the riff-raff.

Still, his intermediaries told him what they were doing so he knew his plans were being carried out.

All of these traitors need to be brought to justice.

"Trump and his team", but Trump being aware of this and in on it makes him guilty none the less.

Bannon, Stone, Flynn and others were the ones who made it happen for their Führer.

They received pardons from Chump, but only for things they had done before. Nobody got a pardon for treason, conspiracy or insurgency. Lock them all up.

all got pardons from Trump and will never flip on Trump. Eastman and Meadows won't do well in prison.
