Actually, Trump would have gotten a pass on his secret documents banker's box library/stash if he handed them all over when he was repeatedly asked to do so. He's a lying, cheating, draft-dodging, pandemic fumbling, racist, ex-president with a history of sexual misconduct who mounted a failed insurrection and tried to subvert the Constitution. Oh yeah, he's also an indicted felon...

I think a lot of folks instantly went into fantasies like these. But if Biden had any balls, and I seriously doubt he does, he could use this new found immunity in many ways. On the environmental side he could green light every renewable energy project currently in limbo claiming National Security or something. Shut down every coal plant in the US claiming Public Health emergency. The possibilities are endless. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Totally justified. A man needs to defend himself and the guy convicted of 34 felonies who put his completely unqualified daughter and son-in-law as White House staff has told his followers, “I am your retribution.” That is very clearly a threatening posture from a man who repeatedly encourages his listeners to be violent, and so to ignore it would be ludicrous. The President has every right to defend himself, and not be prosecuted for doing so - as we learned today.

So if he didn't mean it, why did he say nothing for over 3 hours?

You left out the part where Trump said "PEACEFULLY" walk to the Capitol, just like everyone else has who is trying to take him down. Why is it that you all deliberately refuse to acknowledge that ?

Democrats have pointed to one phrase in particular as they argue that Trump incited those present to march down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the Capitol.

"We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore," he said.
His defense lawyers, however, point to a different passage, in which Trump said, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." They argue that his words were not a call for actual violence and lawlessness.

In his entire 70-minute address he used the word "peacefully" once, and not as a directive.
