There is, as you well know, there is growing evidence that the Capitol assault on January 6th was planned. It was something that was in the works long before Trump made a speech that day. And the point is that the evidence that the Capitol assault, protest, whatever you want to call it was planned weakens the incitement case against Trump, which weakens the impeachment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-378280\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-011121-Trump-Peacful-quote.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-011121-Trump-Peacful-quote.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-011121-Trump-Peacful-quote-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-011121-Trump-Peacful-quote-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It undermines these claims that rioters were responding spontaneously to Trump\u2019s speech. That was never true. It was never the case. Trump did not encourage any of the behavior that happened. He didn\u2019t ask anybody to do anything that those people did. The Democrats didn\u2019t care. They knew this. They know the timeline doesn\u2019t work, but they were gonna bull rush this and stampede this thing and make sure that they could impeach him so he couldn\u2019t run again, ever.<\/p>\n<p>The short version of this is that the FBI is going to bail the Democrats out on this impeachment. This impeachment may not actually happen, as Professor Dershowitz said. If Trump didn\u2019t know about the attack on the Capitol, if they planned it without him, then you\u2019re missing the causal relationship. It would have happened without his speech as well. So that would be relevant on the issue of causation, and they\u2019re not gonna be able to link Trump to this. And his lawyers are gonna make sure that this is known.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-380691\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-Just-News-TEARAWAY-012921.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-Just-News-TEARAWAY-012921.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-Just-News-TEARAWAY-012921-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-Just-News-TEARAWAY-012921-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>For the Trump speech &#8220;to meet the threshold of incitement, a speaker must, first, indicate a desire for violence and, second, demonstrate a capability or reasonable indication of capability to carry out the violence.&#8221; This according to Kevin Brock, former assistant director of intelligence for the FBI and former principal deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center. In Trump\u2019s case, said Kevin Brock, there were neither. So the FBI is asserting itself here and basically telling the Democrats, you don\u2019t have causation. For Trump\u2019s speech to meet the threshold of incitement, Trump must indicate a desire for violence. He did the exact opposite. Trump asked people to go do what they were gonna do peacefully and then to go home.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the Speaker &#8212; i.e., Trump &#8212; must demonstrate a capability or indication of capability to carry out violence. He did none of that. And so the spokesman for the FBI, former assistant director of intelligence, deputy director National Counterterrorism Center, Kevin Brock, is saying Trump did neither.<\/p>\n<p>So this is the FBI signaling to Pelosi and Schumer that you don\u2019t have causation here. You can\u2019t link Trump to the violence, because it was planned. It was planned long before Trump made his speech. It began while Trump still was speaking. And we know that many of the people involved were Antifa and other saboteurs trying to make themselves look like MAGA people, when they weren\u2019t. So just keep a sharp eye on this. They don\u2019t have the votes to convict anyway. It doesn\u2019t mean Pelosi and the gang are gonna give up, but it\u2019s gonna get more difficult and problematic for them, which it always was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: There is growing evidence that the Capitol assault on January 6th was planned.
