A former federal prosecutor believes that the testimony of the rioters in the Capitol will eventually lead to a catastrophic blow to former President Donald Trump. A court will hear the testimony and decide that Trump is guilty of inciting the January 6 uprising last year, former federal prosecutor Glen Kirsner said in a video posted on YouTube on Thursday. “When Donald Trump is charged,” Kirsner said, “the prosecutor will use the testimony of the rioters at the Capitol to” prove to a jury – with witnesses after witnesses – that Donald Trump is the reason these people marched on the Capitol. ” and tried to interrupt his certification [President] “Joe Biden wins.” “Because Donald Trump told them,” Kirsner added. “It’s not a defense of their behavior, but it’s definitely incriminating for Donald Trump. It’s definitely proof that he instigated this uprising. There are no two ways about it.” Several riots in the Capitol have told the court that they felt compelled to attend last year because of Trump’s guidance. Dustin Thompson from Ohio, for example, said in a court statement that he would like to call Trump as a witness. “It is expected that, when called as a witness, Donald J. “Trump will testify that he and others orchestrated a carefully designed plot to challenge the integrity of the 2020 presidential election and the validity of President Biden’s victory,” Thomson’s lawyer wrote. . The uprising in the Capitol left five people dead, among them a policeman. Members of the Proud Boys, which has been identified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, were reportedly present. Organizers encouraged the former president to urge him to protest the results of the 2020 election, despite Democratic primary victory of Joe Biden. As members of Congress rallied inside the Capitol building to confirm the results, supporters staged a violent mob and stormed the Capitol building. So far, more than 800 people have been charged in connection with the insurgency, according to the Insider database. In many cases, the FBI has used social media posts to identify participants. In February last year, insurgents tried to delete photos and social media posts proving their involvement in the Capitol uprising. Some hacked their cell phones, cleared their social media accounts and tried to wipe hard drives that may contain photos and other evidence of their involvement. But others bragged about their involvement, making it easier for the FBI to catch them and accuse them.
