Let's say Trump had nothing to do with the violent attack on the Capitol Jan. 6.

When Trump lost the election by 7 million votes less than two years ago, the most anyone imagined was that he would have to be dragged out of the White House kicking and screaming.

But it's a different world now. When anyone loses a presidential election in future, he can call his supporters to Washington and have them attack Congress, and he won't be held to account for it.

That's what Trump has done for the country. It will make America great again, sure to. :rolleyes:

There are not 7 million members on the electoral college. The President is not elected by popular vote. Trump did not tell anyone to attack Congress.

How many times does this have to be corrected?

He did not say, “protest peacefully”. He told the mob to behave themselves during the “march” from the rally to the Capitol. After that, when they had safely arrived, his call was to “fight like hell.”

Hallucination. Contextomy fallacy. Special pleading fallacy.

Hmmm. Did Newsweek say, "Mostly true"? No.

Trump's comments taken together made one of his usual muddles. As Newsweek did put it, "Trump's call to display strength shows a possible contradiction in Trump's message to his crowd before the certification vote".
When put in context of that day, however, the Capitol attack becomes entirely predictable.

By the time the rally ended the Senate was already in session. How then were Trump's "peaceful" protestors going to make "their voices" heard? By applying for visitor passes? The building was closed. And locked, and on that morning in anticipation of the trouble that for weeks had been brewing on line more heavily guarded than usual, though not guarded enough as it turned out. And Trump wasn't the only speaker. Others close to the President and known to the crowd preceded his speech and fed into its already raised passions before Trump closed out the program. The mob by then was so stirred up the Secret Service refused the President's instruction to take him with the protestors, some of whom were armed, and instead drove him to the White House. There he closed himself off to the world and watched the attack on TV, ignoring pleas to do something to stop it.

Let a jury sort out his responsibility.

Hillary Clinton was never impeached for anything. She testified in front of Congress for 11 hours.

Bill Clinton was impeached in a highly partisan move. He testified to Starr.

No. He was impeached for perjury. Hillary was not in any office at the time. You can't impeach someone that is not in office.
