Talk to the people under arrest planning to use it as a defense.He encouraged it is enough. He should not have. He should not have brought up Pence, as Pence was only carrying out his constitutional duties. He should not have been supporting a claim of stolen election and massive fraud leading to defeat after his own lawyers refused to say it in court and all courts had ruled against him. This is not a criminal proceeding. It (unfortunately for him) is about right and wrong for a president, at the time. It is not about free speech. Propagating a lie and whipping up a crowd to support your lie is not protected. especially if it leads to violence. If you are burning some of your trash to keep warm, but it gets out of control and you burn down somebody's house. You are responsible.
Where did he encourage violence? Seriously. Use of the word "fight?' Bernie Sanders has "fight" on virtually every single page on his website. This is after one of his supporters tried to murder two dozen Republicans.
