    Interesting

    Mr. Trump initially resisted taping the video, agreeing to do it only after aides pressed him and he appeared to suddenly realize he could face legal risk for prodding the mob, coming shortly after the chief federal prosecutor for Washington left open the possibility of investigating the president for illegally inciting the attack by telling supporters to march on the Capitol and show strength.

    Pat A. Cipollone, the White House counsel, had warned Mr. Trump of just that danger on Wednesday as aides frantically tried to get the president to intervene and publicly call off rioters, which he did only belatedly, reluctantly and halfheartedly.

    “We are looking at all actors, not only the people who went into the building,” Michael R. Sherwin, the U.S. attorney in Washington, told reporters. Asked if that included Mr. Trump, he did not rule it out. “We’re looking at all actors,” he repeated. “If the evidence fits the elements of a crime, they’re going to be charged.”

    "You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from."

      @jon-nyc makes sense to me. Even the event was called the “Save America March”

        ...which is ironic since they were essentially destroying America’s most basic tenet of a peaceful transfer of power.

          Best way to justify doing something deplorable.

              But in this case the MAGA Mob would be defending the King.

                I didn't catch the context on this, but I also saw a clip of Giuliani calling for "trial by combat". WTF?! Who are these people? I'm guessing he's seen game of thrones.

                    Never forget, a third of the colonists supported the King.

                        Us Canadians stuck around with the old Monarch parents for a couple of more centuries.

                        Then around 1980, we said we'll move out on our own for good. Their name is still on the deed to our land though.

                          @xenon And it should remain so. Would be a sad day that we should ever adopt republican governance or values.
