These last two posts, cut right to the heart of the matter.
One calls it an instruction. The other side points out that they were pressuring the government, not becoming the government.
I think we could agree, that if there was a person who was a go between the White House and the protest, than we have an insurrection. Meaning, say that Wood had Lindel contact the Math Keepers to hype the protest, so that Wood would be assured of extreme pressure on Pence, that is an orchestrated attempt to use non legal ways to maintain power. But if there was no go between, and Wood was relying on the President’s tweets to stir up the pressure and the protest simultaneously, than that is not directly illegal. It becomes a little bit twisted right to gather like the race protests that went way to far. Trump said in his speech were going to go down to the Capitol, not into the Capitol. So he did not encourage the attack. He may have wanted it out of spite, but it probably hurt the plan.
To recap, the White House did not interrupt Congress. And the protesters did not know their role in the plan. If there was a middle man, than that would close this loophole.
Now if you say, but isn’t this a whole wink, wink, from the Administration to the protest? The answer is that is this discussion. The racial protests also looked like a wink, wink, to many people. Especially the Jan 6 crowd.
