Lawyers for detained Capitol defendants have been trying to make the case to judges that Jan. 6 was this one-off, unique moment and that there’s no longer an ongoing threat, and the former president just keeps gutting their argument.

Trump doesn’t have to actually put any skin in the game when he dashes off rants calling 2020 the "greatest Election Fraud in the history of our Country," but in additional to increasing the threat of another attack, he’s damaging the defenses of people who actually believed him.
Once again, he’s walking people to the edge. Don’t be surprised when some of the people who actually believe the election was stolen behave in ways you could justify if you actually believed the election was stolen. From November: huffpost.com/entry/trump-vo…
