Reframing the question

[SkeezerRedux]

3. OK. I must have misinterpreted your post. I'll stand corrected.

But it's still a stretch to suggest that had Trump not existed, the riot wouldn't have happened. Agreed?

I keep going back in my own mind to the simple fact that a sitting president said and did everything he could to cast suspicion on the electoral process, publicly called for force to be used to overturn the election results in his favor, and to my knowledge never took any steps to PREVENT what resulted. That settles it for me, but I'm not an attorney and can't say if that meets evidentiary standards to convict.
