Trump Stoked Violence on January 6th

From this:

The Washington Post reports that it will present new evidence that former President Donald Trump blew off warnings of imminent violence from his supporters.

As the Post puts it, the evidence will show that Trump “was repeatedly alerted to brewing violence that day, and he still sought to stoke the conflict” that culminating in his supporters violently rioting at the Capitol and sending lawmakers fleeing for their lives.

If this can be corroborated, it eliminates any doubt that Trump should be arrested and charged with sedition.

Anyone can understand that indicting a former president, especially on who is still likely to attempt a second term in office, is likely to draw protest to the effect that it is politically motivated and bound to create reprisals.  But the evidence here is so clear, and the crime so egregious, that the Justice Department has no other option.
