Technically it doesn’t matter if anyone actually listened in determining if Trump committed incitement. If he started saying last Wednesday “go in there and kill every democrat bastard” that’s probably incitement, even if everyone decided to just go home afterward 1/? https://twitter.com/loccheadrick/status/1350053469076525056
2/? The real problem with this impeachment is that the same law also completely exonerates him. You need advocacy of violence or other lawlessness as a first step and it’s just not there ⬇️
