So you can hash out the incite others bit with Mike if you'd like, but the actual indictment answers why he's facing the actual charge quite plainly. It is not limited to the rioting mob he helped to foment, it incorporates the repeated attempts to persuade Pence to participate in Trump and company's false elector scheme as well.

Here's the bit you seem to be looking for including Trump's words and encouragement to his supporters to act. 



He told his supporters that the election hinged on Pence's actions that day. 

This bit was shortly followed with the now infamous line "if you don't fight like hell, you won't have a country anymore." 

Now go right ahead and argue context all you want on that quote. You can defend it successfully, but I guarantee that most of the 2000+ ppl that actually crossed the threshold of the Capitol that day didn't give a damn about the context of that statement.

You can spin it all you want but there is nothing which shows Trump incited what happened on January 6th. It sounds good for biased MSM sound bites and overzealous, politically motivated District Attorneys, but the words as they stand do not encourage anyone to violence or crime.

This is what's so frustrating about discussing this.  People who think of themselves as resolute tough guys suddenly become little wishy washy twinks on this subject.

"What happened on Jan 6 was a crime, but Trump didn't incite it."
"OK we prosecuted and jailed those criminals"
"No, they should be pardoned"
"Why?"
"They believed they were saving the country from a stolen election"
"Where'd they get that idea?"
"Trump said so"
"So Trump incited their crime?"
"No"
"So they are responsible for what they did?"
"No"

Y'all are all twinks for Trump.  Whatever he needs you to say, whatever he needs you to believe.  You will criticize him, yes, but you will never ever let him face consequences.
