The federal judges sentencing the insurrectionists seem to have no problem whatsoever stating that Trump incited them.Federal Judge Warns Of A Jan. 6 Repeat In The 2024 Election
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., warned Thursday that Donald Trump could provoke a Jan. 6-style attack with another call to arms in response to the 2024 election.
U.S. District Judge Rudy Contreras made his comments from the bench during the sentencing of a Jan. 6 rioter. Noting that Trump and his allies had “spurred” the attack, the judge expressed concern that the defendant before him would respond to a similar “call” in the future.
“It doesn’t take much imagination to imagine a similar call coming out in the coming months,” Contreras said.
This is, by my count, at least the third federal judge sitting in DC who has publicly warned of the threat we still face right now – not just the retrospective assigning of blame for what happened in the 2020 election, but actively and frantically sending out alerts that we may face more political violence ahead.

I think it's a mistake to think of a threat in terms of a repeat of the 1/6 riot Trump inspired. I'm sure Mike Johnson will have the Capital Police prepared this time (just kidding on two counts).
The more salient point is Trump maintains control over potentially violent followers who he has proven willing to unleash on any governmental body he sees fit. If not with actual violence, which have been less frequent, then with threats of it.
The reflexive reaction of Trump's defenders no doubt displaying, without realizing it, how the violence associated with Trumpery has been normalized.
show me one!
The Judicial System Is Failing Democracy
In retrospect, I came into the Trump era with way too much confidence that the legal system was up to the task. The last eight years have been humbling in that regard.
As a lawyer-turned-editor, I cautioned my reporting team not to be impatient with the pace and deliberation of legal processes. These things take time. Don’t be hot-headed about it. Chill out. Let things run their course.
The sometimes plodding pace of the system is by design, more a feature than a bug. There’s an entire vernacular around the downsides of too-swift justice: “rough justice,” “lynch mob,” “show trial,” “railroaded.” The list is long.
In the early days of the Trump presidency, efforts to obtain his tax returns or enforce the Emoluments Clause were slow, clumsy, and sometimes reluctantly undertaken by Democrats in Congress. I was inclined to excuse that slowness. But as the threat mounted and become more obvious and the reaction to it failed to rise to the challenge, my own sense of urgency began to change.
When the travesties of the Trump presidency accumulated and potential accountability shifted from the political to legal realms, especially after the Jan. 6 attack, I feared that the legal system was more inclined to sweep it all under the rug than confront it. A lot of our coverage was focused on framing the Jan. 6 attack as merely the culmination of a broad, months-long conspiracy to subvert the election. While the attack on the Capitol did historic damage and finally started to stir law enforcement into action, over-focusing on the physical attack would miss the myriad other ways the election had been subverted using the powers of the executive branch.

When the legal system itself is under threat, it must respond with extraordinary measures that gird itself against attack but protect the rights of the individual defendant.talkingpointsmemo.com
It is debatable as to whether the judicial system is up to the task in dealing with the many ways Trump has exploited its vulnerabilities.
I'm beginning to wonder if we're careening towards a "dog catches car" moment.
They're making progress towards their goal of breaking down our foundations, without giving much (if any) thought to what that would actually look like.
The Founders didn't envision this, and I think the Bannon types know that.
Generating a whole lot of lies on American social media.
Hillary Clinton running a child porno ring from a Washington Pizza shop. That gave the Russian a real good laugh...and proved how stupid some Americans are.

Because she didn't break the law.Thanks for the link.
"The Committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak
information damaging to Hillary Clinton..."
Leaking actual DNC emails damaged Hillary? That's awful!
What did they say?
STEELE 'DOSSIER'
The committee found the FBI gave "unjustified credence" to a "dossier" of purportedly damaging information about Trump's dealings with Russia prepared for Clinton Campaign lawyers by former British spy Christopher Steele.
The fake Russian dossier led to the FBI spying on the Trump campaign?
Why wasn't Hillary charged for colluding with Russia?
Because she didn't break the law.
Well that was a softball.
I'm not your assistant.Getting help from Russia isn't against the law?
Depends on the kind of help. Candidates can't legally accept financial donations from foreign entities. So if Putin wanted to send a donation to Trump's campaign rather than support in "sweeping and systematic" ways, as described by Mueller, he couldn't. But what Vlad did for Don can't be measured in dollars.Getting help from Russia isn't against the law?

What a hilarious lie. You say the dumbest shit. For attention, of course. You're welcome.That “dire warning from the bench quote is in response to Trump saying “. . . peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
Trump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workersSo, you want to end it is your way of dealing with it huh.
Seems like you are more interested in ending Democracy than any of us.

Not so much OK as disinformation spewed as a counter narrative because of Russia's help for Trump.
