We do not currently have anything resembling evidence that Trump organized or directed the Capitol riot. He bears moral & political responsibility & should be convicted & disqualified by the Senate, but you're just playing make-believe facts here under an imaginary body of law.https://twitter.com/JesseCharlesLee/status/1349497355175927810 …

If a known religious extremist organized a rally, gave the main speech directing & inciting an armed mob to the Capitol, tweeting words of praise as the attack was happening, they’d go to jail as a leader of the conspiracy. That’s before we even get to Trump delaying response.

Also, obviously my argument here isn’t “case closed, lock him up.” But I think his lawyer was damn right to say he was playing with legal fire during this, and the fact that Trump has now made two hostage videos suggests he has been convinced too.

He's worried about the Senate, as he should be. Not about fantastical threats that the legal walls are closing in. And pushing the legal nonsense just lets Congress off the hook for what is properly a Congressional responsibility.
