Who said he told them directly to riot? Mob bosses never tell their cronies directly to commit crimes....
Sending the protesters down to the capitol after a full one hour of inciting them, with things like 'you have to go down to the capitol, fight like hell, or you will not have a Country anymore', and lying to them over and over and over telling them the election was stolen from THEM...
If I were one of his followers and believed him, I might have been crazy enough or infuriated enough and participated in breaking in to the capitol to stop Pence, and congress from the illegal and injustice that was about to happen.... All the speeches from all of his guest speakers used the same rebel rousing language throughout the protest and at the day before s protest.
The chaos by his protesters sent down to the Capitol, was just a small piece of his criminal actions that he took to try to install himself in to power and stealing the election from the winner of the election.
He began his steal, 6 months before the election and still continues now.
He illegally used his administration to interfere with state election results, he had a Doj cronie write a letter to the state legislators saying they found fraud...which they HAD NOT FOUND, which thank God, it was not sent....He had his lawyers sicked on Pence to reject the elector counts, he called the secretary of state in Georgia telling him to find the 11780 votes he needed to win by 1 over Biden and implied he would go after the secretary if he didnt, he called legislators from Pennsylvania to the white House to try to get them to throw out the vote of their citizens and insert their own electors for Trump.... His team, before the election also met with legislators telling them not to accept the people's vote and insert Trump electors, same with Arizona legislators, and I believe the Michigan ones too....he interfered in the State election process, which is ILLEGAL.
I am surprised you didn't know any of this....
