Journalists keep writing long pieces about whether Trump could be prosecuted for incitement, QUOTING EXPERTS saying that it'd be a conspiracy charge, not incitement, and still only assessing his incitement exposure.

There are three different conspiracy indictments thus far (Oath Keepers, plus 2 Proud Boys) that have, as their object, "to stop, delay, and hinder Congress's certification of the Electoral College vote."

Those conspiracy indictments all have, as an overt act, use social media to get as many bodies to DC on Jan 6 as possible.

Know anyone else who did that, with the specific intent of delaying certification?

Rudy Giuliani left a voice mail message AFTER THE RIOT trying to delay the certification. Trump gave Pence an illegal order to throw out votes.

Any legal exposure for Trump is far more likely to be conspiracy.
