A former federal prosecutor believes that the testimony of the Capitol rebels will eventually culminate in a devastating blow to former President Donald Trump.
A jury will hear the testimony and decide that Trump is guilty of inciting the uprising on January 6 last year, said former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirchner in a video posted on YouTube on Thursday.
“When Donald Trump is charged,” Kirschner said, the prosecutor will use the testimony of Capitol rebels to prove to jurors – witness after witness – that Donald Trump is the reason these people are marching on the Capitol and trying to Stop Certification of [President] Joe Biden’s victory. “
“Because Donald Trump told them to do it,” Kirchner added. “It’s not a defense against their behavior, but it’s certainly incriminating for Donald Trump. This is certainly proof that he instigated this revolt. There are no two ways to do this.
Several Capitol rebels have testified in court that they felt compelled to participate last year because of Trump’s instructions. Dustin Thompson of Ohio, for example, said in a lawsuit that he would like to call Trump as a witness.
It is expected that when he is called as a witness, Donald J. “Trump will testify that he and others have staged a carefully crafted conspiracy to question the integrity of the 2020 presidential election and the validity of President Biden’s victory,” Thompson’s lawyer wrote. .
The Capitol riot killed five people, including a police officer. Members of the Proud Boys, which is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, were reportedly present.
Organizers were encouraged by calls from the former president to protest with him against the results of the 2020 elections, despite the election victory of Democrat Joe Biden. As members of Congress gathered on Capitol Building Day to verify the results, supporters organized a violent mob and stormed the Capitol building.
So far, more than 800 people have been indicted in connection with the uprising, according to an Insider database. In many cases, the FBI uses social media posts to identify those present.
In February last year, the rebels tried to delete photos and posts on social media proving their involvement in the Capitol riot. Some broke their mobile phones, cleared their social media accounts and tried to delete hard drives that may contain photos and other evidence of their involvement.
However, others boasted of their involvement, which made it easier for the FBI to catch and accuse them.
