Both of the above referenced statements cannot be true. So which one is it? Which is a lie and which is truth coming from you
It is my expectation that they cannot be honest, but there is always a chance they could prove me wrong. I'm not above admitting that, so, yes, both statements can be true.
And that means the riot suspects if convicted conspired and attacked the United States of America on Jan6 exactly in accordance with the purpose they were called to DC that Day by DJT and all his nationally known supporters, official and lawyers such as John Eastman.
So, if Trump lays out a plan to send back electors (the Eastman plan), and a group of people find out about it (as you have already corrected me, the Eastman Plan did get divulged), and they decide they are going to "help" Trump by taking matters into their own hands, that's not evidence that Trump told them to do that.
That's what I meant about circumstantial evidence. If their prosecution is going to be based on the oathkeepers devised a plan to enter the capitol building based on the Eastman Plan combined with some rhetoric by the president, I don't thinks that's going to be enough. To get passed the "shadow of a doubt" metric, they are going to have to have some audio/video, or some documents that have Trump or those around him talking about a riot, or an attack.
Just saying he had a plan to overturn the election, and he incited people by saying the election was stolen isn't going to be enough. If someone says something and that causes someone else to commit a crime, I don't see how you can hold that against the speaker unless he specifically called them to do it, and even then, there is the matter of free will. Those people listening have to make up their own mind if they want to do it or not.
Again, in my opinion (and I'm no lawyer, so this is just my opinion), I just don't see how you get the incitement to cause a riot, because he never actually called for violence. Yes, he said they were going to go to the capitol to cheer on then "weak ones" to give them support to "do the right thing".
All that stuff about "you don't win with weakness" and "fight" etc, is going to be difficult to prove he meant that in the context of physical means and not in terms of character.
Plus, again, if they knew that the Eastman Plan was illegal, it makes no sense to even attempt it, and start a riot over it, they would have had to have known that it would have never worked, so why even attempt it.
