Unindicted Co-conspirators

I didn't say he advocated violence, I said he ginned them up.
I thought it was non-violent? Or was it only the supposed FBI agents who were doing that, the bearded virgins being too busy taking selfies?

The vast majority of people at the rally engaged in no violence. Secondly, answer why the FBI knows some of the conspirators, but will not indict them?

Now, the question is whether people who were informants, or God forbid, FBI agents, ginned up the riot and did they participate in it?
As opposed to the then President of the United States, you mean?
Obviously, he didn't actively participate in it. Not his type of thing at all, getting his hands dirty. But it sure sounded a lot like he ginned them up.
Presumably Tucker didn't talk about that particular government employee?
For the thousandth time, since some people either will not or are incapable of acknowledging the truth...At no time did Trump advocate violence on the sixth. Was there heated political rhetoric? Of course. Same as many politicians use in stump speeches or rallies.

You are correct from a legal point of view. It’s still a worthy discussion in terms of whether to vote for him or have him be the voice of the GOP go forward.

I'm a strong believer in Occam's razor. I think it's pretty obvious what happened in January.
All this stuff from Tucker seems rather far-fetched. I didn't watch this latest conspiracy theory, but in general, conspiracy theories are needed when events don't fit your world view. If you're Tucker, you have a very clear idea of who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Then suddenly, a bunch of Trump supporters riot, egged on in part by Trump himself. This doesn't fit Tucker's narrative, so he needs to explain it with a conspiracy theory.

IOW, he's taking the fact that there are people who haven't been prosecuted as evidence that there is some kind of FBI or Deep State conspiracy.
OK, good luck. Another Kraken to unleash.
I'm sure Trump will be re-instated in August.

This whole thing seems to be based on nothing. On what basis are the "unindicted co-conspirators" undercover FBI agents? Imagination?

Deep State are bad guys, trying to undermine freedom, democracy, and the American Way. Trump supporters are Patriots, standing up for freedom, democracy and the American Way.
A bunch of bad guys rioted in the Capitol.
Ergo, as the Latinos say, they must be Deep State.

rejecting entrapment claims unless (1) a government agent has truly instigated the crime (it’s not enough to show that a government operative helped matters along if the defendant proposed the scheme) and (2) the defendant was not predisposed to commit the crime (i.e., he truly was enticed into lawlessness by the government operative).
Was Mr. trump not a government agent?
