<< Encouraging a vitriolic crowd to take back their country and transferring blame to Pence, who was going to be in the Capitol performing his Senate duties.
Yeah, I.. I think you will want to find a better example than what he actually said[1]
<< Failing to execute his office by failing to defend the Capitol
So a lack of an official act is an official act? This does not fall under what I asked for, but good try.
<< Elector conspiracy
You have something there, but you want something more concrete. What was his exact step that was NOT an official act in your view.
<< Telling the Proud Boys to stand by rather than stand down
You have something there, but again not much to go after unless you want to argue actions vs words.
<< There comes a time when we have look past the mob-boss-need-for-explicit wording schtick and recognize a space as a space.
Listen, rules exist for a reason. You break those rules and you deal with consequences of that break. If Trump did not break those rules and you think those rules do not meet the current needs, then you may want to change those rules, but arguing 'well, he is guilty of something' is a little silly and, frankly, against the very foundation of this country.
The funny thing is, you clearly recognize the 'exact wording' issue as an obstacle to put him away.
