Although special counsel Jack Smith did not charge former President Donald Trump directly with inciting the Jan. 6 riots at the United States Capitol, a new court filing shows that the special counsel's team is preparing to use the riot as a central part of its case that Trump corruptly tried to obstruct the certification of the 2020 election.
As reported by Politico, the new filing written by senior assistant special counsel Molly Gaston argues that Trump's incitement of the mob was part of a last-ditch effort to intimidate members of Congress and Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify President Joe Biden's victory.
“[T]he defendant here is charged with four related criminal counts, including conspiring to obstruct and obstructing the official certification proceeding on January 6,” Gaston wrote. “Essential to those charges are factual allegations and evidence that the proceeding was in fact impeded — namely, by a large crowd, including individuals whom the defendant had directed at the Capitol, that violently advanced on the Capitol building to create ‘a catastrophic security risk.’”

That will be absolutely hilarious since at no point did Trump incite the riots, but an awful lot of democrats incited the riots that burned billions of dollars in personal property during the BLM nonsense, but nobody will ever see a court room over that because it was a leftist cause.
Just another example of the 2 tiered justice system in action.

LTC Eugene Chu
Records rebut claims of unequal treatment of Jan. 6 rioters
It's a common refrain from some of those charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and their Republican allies: The Justice Department is treating them harshly because of their political views while those arrested during last year's protests over racial injustice were given leniency.

LTC Eugene Chu - Of course they do! They can't show the number of arrests and releases from the BLM riots. That would implicate the VP since she was a huge part of the movement for cashless bail and setting up the go fund me accounts to release the rioters.
