Thanks for the detailed reply. As a perennial skeptic and witness to government shenanigans back in the day, I'm keeping a wary, open mind concerning these events.
The emerging Glenn Greenwald perspective on early government knowledge and possible participation merits consideration, IMO.
A traitor is someone who betrays their country, which is exactly what Trump is charging here. He told his followers that Pence refusing to certify the election is tantamount to breaking his oath to protect the country and Constitution.
Trump tweets this during the insurrection, when he should have been Tweeting to calm things down. His followers got that message in real time and gave them further animus to find Pence. You can see it in the chronological videos NYT and Washington Post stitched together. The implication wasn't lost on them.
