Trump Acquitted

Criminal Changes? This seems very unlikely.....

Pick the statute
show us the elements
show us the facts which satisfy the elements

Then provide counters to all the obvious defenses...
Plus the first amendment.

Then tell us a majority of jurors will find guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

Here is a bit of head start....

Trump can argue that his rhetoric was sufficiently ambiguous, and that when he said “fight” he did not mean attack the Capitol, they said.

In a seminal 1969 case, the Supreme Court overturned the conviction of an Ohio Ku Klux Klan leader, Clarence Brandenburg, for his brief speech at a rally urging a dozen followers to go to Washington and attack politicians.

The court said prosecutors have to prove speech is directed at inciting “imminent lawless action” and it has to be likely to produce that action.

“My own tentative view is that it was First Amendment protected speech and therefore it should not be subjected to criminal liability,” said Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University, adding that Trump’s rhetoric was still grounds for impeachment by Congress, considering his position as an elected official.
Nothing criminal occurred of course. The longer Idiot Dems keep this crap up, the worse it will be for them politically.
Inciting insurrection is a crime. In addition to the prior crimes Trump has committed.

Impeaching him takes away the potential defense of "I should have been impeached, if I did these crimes while I was POTUS."

Potential jurors now are all aware that impeaching a criminal POTUS was an insufficient remedy. It didn't work. So jurors will be free to issue justice without pause.

Awful anal-ysis as usual. Inciting insurrection may be a crime, but Trump didn't commit it. Nice try though. I'm not sure what other crimes you think he has committed, but I've seen no evidence of anything.
 
Today is probably the darkest day in American politics so far and because of today, it likely won’t be the darkest day in the near future.

Democrats couldn't secure enough seats from the Republicans in the Senate from the last mid-terms to the recent November elections...

The outcome was decided before it got started.

Yet, it had to be done to ensure Donald Trump proper placement in history and the let the world know more about had far American politics has fallen via only 7 or 8 Republicans citing guilty.

Now its time to move on to the Covid-19 stimulus package and other important concerns. Hopefully this is not a green light for more attacks on the Capitol when people still think Trump can be President again (one of those criminal cases on the state level will nail him).

He's a broken man...no fun in kicking something that's now road kill.

That will be for a jury/judge to decide.

There is prima facie evidence to proceed criminally.
There is Supreme Court precedent that Mr Trump's remarks are protected free speech. There is no case to be made except by vengeful idiots.

We'll just have to see how the courts decide.

BTW, how did those election fraud cases go? ... in the Supreme Court?

Trump et al have won 2/3rds of the cases that have actually been heard. In addition, there are still cases pending at The Supreme Court and numerous states are beginning to work on perfecting their voting laws and logistics due to the irregularities. Looks like it's going pretty well.
