That Trump knew but said nothing?
What does that have to do with whether it is "splitting hairs" to recognise a difference between being put on trial for something and being found guilty of it?
I mean his way of weaseling words around to wriggle out of taking any responsibility for the consequences of what he says.
Or what others, like Epstein' have said about him.
"Trump is the dog that hasn't barked" - what i think Epstein meant by that and what an observer can deduce from it are two clear and distinct things. He'll send in his pitch weasels to scatter chaff across the media landscape, his lawyers to argue black is really white and the moon is just a sun at night. He's desperate to move the narrative on this issue but cannot summon the political momentum to do so, while Democrats and Republicans like MTG are determined to winkle the truth out of him on this one.
His objection to the Panorama edit has seen him casting doubt on the words he used to incite the 2020 election, while denying his speech had anything to do with the Capitol riot. For months he'd spread rumour and doubt about the election count in case he lost and when he did lose, used that narrative to sow even more doubt among political opponents and Republicans who were among those threatened by his MAGA mob. If they'd come to protest as he claims then why were militia groups from the far right tooled up and ready to rock?
It can only be because they knew he was tacitly supporting their militant tendency to cause chaos on the day.
Panorama's edit simply took two separate statements and drew them together in the timeline to show culpability for his speech, despite Trump's later denial. The impeachment was a recognition of this fact before the later trial exonerated him - after he'd leant on Senate republican's like Mitch McConnell and the Speaker of the House to clear his name.
