Yeah, but I think there would be other remedies available if the Merrick Garland is willing to pursue them. I don't think a felony conviction would prevent him from running in 2024. But if he's still in jail, that would limit his rally attendance. Plus, I wouldn't mind seeing him run again, anyway. If we elect him a 2nd time, after 4 years of opportunity to fix the problems his presidency made clear, maybe our society deserves to die.

> There's plenty to doubt, there. But it follows along our previous conversations about ambiguity (both [in]formal) and binding. Personally, I don't believe Trump purposefully incited the riot. He'd have to be a literal genius to *purposefully* use language like this with the intent/objectives attributed to him. What does it mean, though, to *accidentally* incite a riot? Where does _mens rea_ fall for incitement? It seems most plausible that Trump is simply pre-adapted to riot-incitement by his years of practiced marketing bullsh¡t and the trendly positive feedback he gets from that marketing bullsh¡t. He did incite a *rally*. He loves when his groupies get together to fawn over him. But did he incite them to riot? I don't think so. Laughable as the idea is, were I a Senator, I'd probably vote to acquit.
