> making it appear he was instigating the occupation > The inciters gave their fiery provocations, then Trump told his recruits, "We're going to the Capitol, and I'll be right there with you." I don't know anything about what footage was or wasn't edited, but if you think he didn't instigate, we're not going to agree on much about that day. I didn't just read this right now. I searched for it because I remember seeing him say it. https://www.yahoo.com/news/letter-testimony-jan-6th-hearings-152237836.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/letter-testimony-jan-6th-hearings...

In particular, Panorama showed Proud Boys marching after Trump’s speech, when they’d actually left before. The founder of NewsMax says that lawsuit is going nowhere. But this does get the latest Epstein fallout off the front page. Epstein is a worse story for Trump than Jan 6.

You still believe that lie? The riot had already started before he gave his speech. How then could the speech have instigated the riot? The people who were rioting never even heard it. In fact, most of the people there planned in advance to be there. How could Trump incite them when they had been planning to do that for months? And you also “misquoted” Trump, because what he actually said was “… and we’re going to go down to the capital and cheer on our brave Senators and Congressmen and women…”. The “…and I’ll be right there with you…” was from a completely different part of the two hour speech. Also, the article you quote repeats quite a few other lies from the testimony at the hearings, such as the tall tale of Trump grabbing the wheel of the car and assaulting a secret service agent. The commission never actually interviewed the driver of that car until after the 2020 election, months after the testimony in question. Why? Because he refutes the entire story. It never happened. Cassidy Hutchinson wasn’t even in the car at the time and her testimony was at best hearsay, if it wasn’t simply a lie. https://justthenews.com/government/congress/trumps-secret-service-driver-wanted-quickly-refute-cassidy-hutchinsons-j6-tale https://justthenews.com/government/congress/trumps-secret-se...

  > The riot had already started before he gave his speech Sort of. It started before the speech finished, but about 50 minutes after it started. Here's the relevant timeline from the Wikipedia article. >At noon, Trump began an over one-hour speech at the Ellipse, encouraging protesters to march to the U.S. Capitol. At 12:49 p.m., Capitol Police responded to reports of an explosive device, later identified as a pipe bomb. At 12:53 p.m., eighteen minutes before Trump's speech ended, rioters overran police on the west perimeter of restricted Capitol grounds.
