   There is no other word to describe it.  It was not "just" a riot.  A riot is a   
   *spontaneous*, politically unfocused violent episode.  The events of Jan. 06   
   2021 were anything *but* that.   
      
     * organized and led — Trump summoned the insurrection mob to DC with his   
       Dec. 19 tweet and subsequent tweets to his organized insurrection mob:   
      
       "‘Be There. Will Be Wild!’: Trump All but Circled the Date"

     * political purpose — Trump's insurrection mob had a *stated* purpose   
       of preventing Congress from certifying Joe Biden's victory in a free, fair   
       and clean election.  "Riots" have no such political goal.  Riots:   
      
        * are spontaneous, not coordinated by presidential tweets   
        * have no coherent political goal   
      
      Trump's insurrection had a narrow, precise political goal, and it was not   
      spontaneous.  It was organized, by Trump:  mob summoned into existence, and   
      financed by his campaign.  This is proved.
