And there's no evidene that Trump incited any of that.
-FBI said was planned days beforehand.
-It started before Trump finished speaking.
-In Trumps entire 1 hr, 13 min speech, the only comments he said in regards to the Capital were:

So where's the incitement to go storm the Capitol Building?
Nothing Trump said or did comes even close to convictable incitement in a real court, and it doesn't in this kangaroo court either..
You can read his own tweets and hear his speeches. If you don't believe that
those words and actions could INSPIRE someone to act, then you're a fool. He had already given tacit approval to violence by his supporters (Charlottesville, Million MAGA Marches). He told them you have to strength and fight.
"You have to fight like hell or won't have a country anymore." Saying that to amped up supporters that believe the election was stolen and the country is in danger is dangerous.
"When you catch somebody in a fraud, you're allowed to go by very different rules." you don't see how someone can take that as approval from the Commander in Chief? There are tweets, indictments, interviews of people that were at the Rally and part of the riot that said just that. They were following Trump's orders.
We have to be accountable for our words and actions. Otherwise, I can avoid trouble if someone hears me say I wish Person X would get beaten and then that person then goes and does it.
You're just ignoring a hard truth. Trumps actions and words over the past several months inspired people to act on his behalf. I don't see how you can say otherwise.
Oh, to your question
And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.
Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun. My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country.
And I say this despite all that's happened. The best is yet to come.
So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue. And we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give.
If you don't see his past conduct as a provocation, then I don't know what more to say.
So what? Saying democrats are terrible "could inspire" someone to do something. That doesn't mean that saying "democrats are terrible" makes you guilty of anything.
-James Hodgkinson was allegedly inspired by Bernie Sanders to go on his shooting spree. Should Sander's have been impeached with inciting violence?

*2017 on Trump: “I’m counting down the hours ‘til he’s gone. I plan to pull him out of there by his hair, his little hands and his feet."
*2018 Called for uprisings against the Trump admin.

Should Nancy Pelosi have been impeached for inciting violence?
-Maxine Waters incited the very definition of mob violence. "Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out, and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.". Should Maxine Waters have been impeached with inciting violence?
-Cory Booker incited violence when he called for his supporters to go to the Hill today. “go to the Hill today. Please, get up in the face of some congresspeople". Should Corey Booker have been impeached with inciting violence?
-Gov Cuomo on Trump: “He better have an army if he thinks he’s gonna walk down the street in New York. New Yorkers don’t want to have anything to do with him. He can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City.” Should Cuomo have been impeached for inciting violence?
-Chuck Schumer threatening violence against 2 SCOTUS justices: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” Should Shumer have been impeached for inciting violence?
-Rep Rep. Ayanna Pressley: "You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there’s unrest in our lives and unfortunately there’s plenty to go around." Should Pressley have been impeached for inciting violence?
-VP Harris on the BLANTIFA riots: “They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that
they’re not going to let up — and they should not. And we should not,”. Should Harris have been impeached for inciting violence?
-Sen Kaine called for liberals to “fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box” against Trump and his supporters. Should Kaine have been impeached for inciting violence?
-Obama back in 2008 told rally goers in regards to their Republican neighbors: "I want you to argue with them and get in their face." Or in 2012 in Philly: "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl". Should Obama have been impeached for inciting violence?
-Biden this past year: On Trump “I would have “beat the hell out” and "would slap in the mouth" . Should Biden be impeached for inciting violence?

I could go on and on and on...Bottom line Trump said "peacefully protest". Nowhere did he say "go storm the Capitol". If you think that makes him guilty in this kangaroo court, when literally dozens of donks, have been doing the same, or worse, for years, then you're a fool.
