Did CNN Just Accidentally Prove That President Trump Did Not Call For Violence At The Capitol?

 

PJ Media: Did CNN Accidentally Prove That Trump Did NOT Call for Violence at the Capitol? 

The political Left and their allies in the mainstream media have gloated over the second impeachment of Trump. In record time, an article of impeachment alleging President Trump incited an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol were filed and approved by the House of Representatives. 

Here is the key claim of the article of impeachment against President Trump: 

Shortly before the Joint Session commenced, President Trump, addressed a crowd at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. There, he reiterated false claims that “we won this election, and we won it by a landslide.” He also willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — lawless action at the Capitol, such as: “if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country anymore.” Thus incited by President Trump, members of the crowd he had addressed, in an attempt to, among other objectives, interfere with the Joint Session’s solemn constitutional duty to certify the results of the 2020 Presidential election, unlawfully breached and vandalized the Capitol, injured and killed law enforcement personnel, menaced Members of Congress, the Vice President, and Congressional personnel, and engaged in other violent, deadly, destructive and seditious acts. 

But according to a new report from CNN, “Evidence uncovered so far, including weapons and tactics seen on surveillance video, suggests a level of planning that has led investigators to believe the attack on the US Capitol was not just a protest that spiraled out of control, a federal law enforcement official says.”

WNU Editor: The CNN report is here .... Investigators pursuing signs US Capitol riot was planned (CNN). The CNN video is above. 

Even Wikipedia is now saying that the riot was planned (link here). 

So how can President Trump's speech incite something that others are saying was already planned?

Update: Someone just emailed me to say that the Capital Hill riot started 20 minutes before President Trump started his speech. A good point. How can someone incite a riot when the rioters have not listened to his speech? 

Double checked and yes .... battles were occurring at the Capital Hill Building by rioters who had not listened to President Trump's speech, and this evidence comes from the New York Times own timeline of events .... How a Presidential Rally Turned Into a Capitol Rampage (New York Times).
