Summary

There has been much discussion about the difficulty of proving that Donald Trump acted with corrupt intent when he whipped-up an angry mob and told them to "stop" the vote certification or, as he put it, "stop the steal." I spent 30 years prosecuting cases in courts, military and civilian, proving criminal intent. Given the available evidence, including some recent New York Times reporting about what Trump was saying and doing while the insurrectionists attacked the Capitol and hunted for Mike Pence, it's crystal clear that Donald Trump's intent was corrupt from start to finish. Now, it's time for federal prosecutors to get into the grand jury and begin building a case against Trump for his crimes.

0:45.0

no resemblance to a trial, to the only place justice can actually be achieved in a court

of law.

You know, I'm hearing lots of discussion about whether Donald Trump has criminal liability

1:01.5

for inciting the attack on the Capitol.

1:06.6

One Mitch McConnell, who, of course, punked out of voting guilty, even Mitch McConnell

1:14.6

said the following, as quoted from a New York Times article, quote, there's no question

none that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events

1:33.2

of the day, no question about it.

of law and everywhere else.
