   It was a political protest that got completely out of control, as we   
   said before, because the president RECKLESSLY ENCOURAGED it and that is   
   wrong,”   
      
   Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)   
   The mob was fed lies. They were PROVOKED by the PRESIDENT and other   
   powerful people   
      
   Sen .Lindsey Graham (R) South Carolina   
   Trump went “too far” by INCITING the crowd of his supporters to storm   
   the Congress   
      
   Former   
   Rep. John Katko (R) of New York “To allow the President of the United   
   States to INCITE this attack without consequence is a direct threat to   
   the future of our democracy.   
      
   Franklin Graham, head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association,   
   "I was sickened to see people attack my Capitol and break down the doors   
   of my Capitol" and was dismayed to see how President Donald Trump RILED   
   UP the protesters.   
      
   William Barr, former Attorney General ORCHESTRATING a MOB to pressure   
   Congress is inexcusable”.   
      
   Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.,   
   said Wednesday that Trump “bears RESPONSIBILITY for the RIOT   
      
   Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R) Washington  said   
   The President of the United States INCITED a riot aiming to halt the   
   peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next,”   
      
   Dan Newhouse (R- Washington.)   
   There is no excuse for President Trump's actions. . Last week, there was   
   a domestic threat at the door of the Capitol, and he DID NOTHING to STOP   
   it.   
      
   Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) He has deliberately misinformed" for months   
   and "stirred to action" in "an ,INSURRECTION, INCITED by" Trump.   
      
   Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.): " There is no question that the President   
   formed the mob, the President INCITED the mob, the President addressed   
   the mob. He lit the flame."   
      
   Brian Fitzpatrick, Republican from Pennsylvania   
   The president of the United States .... lit the flame of INCITEMENT and   
   owns responsibility for this.”   
      
   Vermont Republican Gov. Phil Scott   
   “President Trump has orchestrated a campaign to cause an INSURRECTION   
   that overturns the results of a free, fair and legal election.”   
      
   Rep. John Curtis(R-Utah)   
   described the events Wednesday in an interview as DOMESTIC TERRORISM   
   inspired and encouraged by our President.”   
      
     Utah Rep. Tim Hawkes, (R) R-C, labeled Trump the “INFLAMER-IN-CHIEF ”   
   in a Facebook post ,   
      
   Dr. Christopher Ashley Ford,   
   Assistant Secretary for International Security and Nonproliferation   
   resigned and said   
   "I cannot continue to serve in an Administration at a time in which some   
   are willing to condone, or even to INCITE, violent INSURRECTION against   
   the country I hold dear   
      
   Fred Upton, R-Michigan,   
   Today the President characterized his INFLAMMATORY RHETORIC at last   
   Wednesday’s rally as 'totally appropriate,' and he expressed no regrets   
   for last week’s violent INSURRECTION at the U.S. Capitol. Enough is enough,"   
   Rep. Dan Newhouse, (R)Washington   
   The mob was INFLAMED by the language and misinformation of the President   
   of the United States. ...   
      
   Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R), Ohio   
   Trump, helped organize and INCITE a mob that attacked the United States   
   Congress in an attempt to prevent us from completing our solemn duties   
   as prescribed by the Constitution." During the attack, Trump "abandoned   
   his post ... thus further endangering all present."   
      
   Rep. David Valadao, California   
   President Trump was a driving force in the catastrophic events that took   
   place on January 6. His INCITING rhetoric was un-American, abhorrent,   
   and absolutely an impeachable offense.   
      
   The National Association of Manufacturers,   
   a conservative business group, The outgoing president INCITED violence   
   in an attempt to retain power, and any elected leader defending him is   
   violating their oath to the Constitution and rejecting democracy in   
   favor of anarchy.”   
      
   Ari Fleischer, a former White House press secretary and a GOP strategist   
   At this point, I won’t defend him anymore. I won't defend him for   
   stirring the pot that INCITED the mob. He's on his own.”   
      
   Former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis:   
   "Today's violent assault on our Capitol, an effort to subjugate American   
   democracy by mob rule, was FOMENTED. by Mr. Trump. ."   
      
   Former congressman Will Hurd (R-Tex.),   
   This should be treated as a COUP LED BY a PRESIDENT that will not be   
   peacefully removed from power,”

   George Conway hands the DOJ a roadmap to make sure Trump ends up in jail   
      
   On Friday night, writing for The Washington Post, conservative attorney   
   George Conway laid out the way forward to investigate former President   
   Donald Trump for his criminal conduct in office now that he is a private   
   citizen — and prosecute him where appropriate.   
      
   "Trump departed the White House a possible — many would say probable,   
   provable — criminal, one who has left a sordid trail of potential and   
   actual misconduct that remains to be fully investigated," wrote Conway.   
   "A desperate fear of criminal indictment may even explain Trump's   
   willingness to break any number of laws to stay in office despite losing   
   his reelection bid, democracy and the Constitution be damned."   
      
   While President Joe Biden is correct to pledge to stay out of   
   prosecutorial decisions surrounding Trump, wrote Conway, the Justice   
   Department should not — and everything from the Russia obstruction of   
   justice, to the Ukraine bribery scheme, to his attacks on the election   
   and incitement of the Capitol riot, should be on the table to prosecute.   
      
      
   One important avenue, wrote Conway, is to follow the lead of New York   
   prosecutors.   
      
      
   "[Manhattan DA Cyrus] Vance is running a state investigation, but if   
   Trump has committed bank or insurance fraud, that would be chargeable as   
   federal offenses as well, including mail or wire fraud," wrote Conway.   
   "So, too, with state tax offenses, given how Trump's federal and state   
   returns would no doubt track one another. Trump apparently had good   
   reason to be concerned about who would fill [Preet] Bharara's old job."   
      
   Also important, Conway argued, is for future Attorney General Merrick   
   Garland to appoint a special counsel — or, ideally, more than one of them.
