Insurrectionists enter the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C., WIN MCNAMEE/GETTY IMAGES/TNS

Republicans are trying hard to obfuscate the Traitor-In-Chief’s direct role as the causal agent and origin of the murderous insurrection. That will be their final defence — the hill upon which they fight. They need to be deprived of any credible leg upon which to stand. Legal terminology in charges is huge. This is where English juridicial language is so much clearer and precise, and therefore so much less disputable, than the American legal terminology being tossed around in this case. The emotionality will fail to the precision of the language.

I just wish someone among the impeachment managers would use the wording above instead of using the teminology of ‘inciting a riot,’ which is way too debatable and can’t be conclusively prosecuted. Meanwhile, there is no doubt that the fucker promulgated incendiary speech on multiple documented occasions, which provably motivated the insurrectionists by their own account. That is indisputable. That is what should be being prosecuted. ‘Incitement’ is debatable. ‘Incendiary speech leading to insurrection’ is incontestable.
