It's truly a shame that Trump is constantly calling for violence.
He doesn't call for violence that i know of. Democrats and the media however are on record calling for unrest and violence.

He's not a convicted criminal. He lost in a shady civil suit. That doesn’t make you a criminal. Does it?
He’s lost many a civil suit but he was also convicted of 34 felonies. How can you not know that?

It's good that democrats are distancing themselves from the riots. In democrats own words they wanted unrest in the streets. They wanted to punch Trump in the face and they wanted to get in the face of Trump supporters. But they never rioted. Never happened in the land of fantasy

Jan. 6 defendant also wants pardon for 2022 plot to kill FBI agents

The Tennessee man claims his attempts to attack the FBI were “related” to Jan. 6, so his conviction should be thrown out.

A lawyer for David Daniel, a North Carolina man facing child-pornography charges, made a similar argument. Attorney William Terpening said in an interview “pretty much all” of the evidence cited by prosecutors came from a raid on Daniel’s house in connection with the Jan. 6 case.

“Anything that flowed from that case, given the pardon, should be excluded and inadmissible at trial,” said Terpening.

Trump caused the actions of January 6th to happen and Trump should be charged for it.
But do you recall the praying and religious theatrics of the rioters? There is a much larger and deeper Christian Nationalist movement that is using Trump. And they are perfectly fine with him dismantling the government.

Jan. 6 defendant also wants pardon for 2022 plot to kill FBI agents

The Tennessee man claims his attempts to attack the FBI were “related” to Jan. 6, so his conviction should be thrown out.

Until recently, it didn't seem like this had much hope of success.

Justice Department broadens Trump’s Jan. 6 clemency as it moves to drop gun cases

Federal prosecutors revealed the new legal position this week in court papers seeking to drop gun charges against two former Jan. 6 defendants. The guns in question were found at the two men’s homes during the Jan. 6 investigation, but the alleged gun crimes themselves were not connected to the riot.

The two men whose charges are being dropped — Daniel Ball and Elias Costianes — both had been awaiting trial on Jan. 6-related charges when Trump took office. Ball faced charges of assault, while Costianes had misdemeanor charges pending. Those cases quickly disappeared as a result of Trump’s clemency. But in separate proceedings, they also had both been accused of illegally possessing weapons that law enforcement officers discovered in Jan. 6-related searches.

A third former Jan. 6 defendant, Dan Wilson, also faced firearms charges unrelated to Jan. 6, and two weeks ago, the Justice Department rejected his claim that Trump’s clemency covered those charges. But on Thursday, his attorney urged a court to delay the start of his prison sentence, saying the Justice Department had agreed to “take another look” at his case.

It was last month, but I just got the happy news that he's received life in prison.

Tennessee Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Conspiring to Murder Law Enforcement and Attack FBI Office

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Kelley developed a plan to murder law enforcement, including agents, officers, and employees of the FBI, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Tennessee Highway Patrol, Maryville Police Department, Blount County Sheriff’s Office, and Clinton Police Department. The evidence showed that Kelley developed a “kill list” of law enforcement and distributed the list – along with videos containing images of his targets – to a co-conspirator [who pleaded guilty] as part of his “mission.”
