Well, first the people vote. Then the Republicans decide if they voted correctly or not.
The nature of the indisputable evidence found by the committee (and perhaps DOJ) will be critical.
This is what some insiders in a position to grasp what went down had to say:Fact Check: Did Trump Say to 'Peacefully and Patriotically' March to the Capitol?
The president did say that the crowd was going to march peacefully and patriotically to the Capitol. After the attack, Trump said he does not condone violence.
However, it does not necessarily mean the president did not incite violence with the rest of his speech or in his rhetoric prior to January 6.
Investigations into the riot are ongoing.
Others point to conflicting lines of the speech that seem to suggest a call for the crowd to takes matters into their own hands to correct this injustice through a more active or violent approach:
- "We're gathered together in the heart of our nation's Capitol for one very, very basic and simple reason, to save our democracy."
- "We will not let them silence your voices. We're not going to let it happen. Not going to let it happen."
- "Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that's what this is all about. To use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal."
- "That's what they've done and what they're doing. We will never give up. We will never concede, it doesn't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved."
- "When you catch somebody in a fraud, you're allowed to go by very different rules."
- "Let them get out. Let the weak ones get out. This is a time for strength....It's all part of the comprehensive assault on our democracy and the American people to finally standing up and saying, 'No.' This crowd is again a testament to it."
- "You will have an illegitimate president, that's what you'll have. And we can't let that happen."
- "We will not be intimidated into accepting the hoaxes and the lies that we've been forced to believe over the past several weeks. We've amassed overwhelming evidence about a fake election."
- "We're going to see whether or not we have great and courageous leaders or whether or not we have leaders that should be ashamed of themselves throughout history, throughout eternity, they'll be ashamed. And you know what? If they do the wrong thing, we should never ever forget that they did. Never forget. We should never ever forget."

The committee is manufacturing evidence, so you know they have no real evidence, Clown.
Right on cue.
Exposing you dumbassery? Yep, right on cue.
AW Bull Shit...I don't give a rats ass what you think Trump thinks..I asked a specific question and you take the opprotunity to answer like this? Worthless.
I think I will go trespass somewhere in memory.
Trump told us himself. He had every intention of taking away votes if they would have let him.
Be careful waving those Pom poms around.
Your desperate attempt to divert attention from the Trump goons' attacking the Capitol and injuring 140 outnumbered police attempting to defend democracy, and unspecified social protests with no political affiliation and no politician's inciting them is rather pathetic.
