The public record of Trump’s responsibility includes his statements leading up to the infamous day, plus his incendiary remarks at the rally on the Ellipse, and the dangerous taunting of Vice President Mike Pence even after Trump knew that his mob had breached the Capitol. This evidence should be sufficient to convince any objective prosecutor that Trump bears culpability for a laundry list of serious federal felonies.
