She failed the people of this country just as much as Trump did.

Here's a hypothetical for you.  Person A leaves home and forgets to lock the front door.  Person B comes along and breaks into the house through the unlocked door.  In this case, which person is the criminal and which is the victim?

There were barricades around the Capitol, manning by police.  How would Nancy Pelosi have known what happened was going to happen?  And if you say there were intelligence reports that this was going to happen, then that makes Trump a criminal, because he would have known it, too, and he's the one who set all these events in motion.

Trump's alleged pre-incident knowledge is pure speculation.  You desperately want it to be true, but where is the proof?  

What are "all these events"?  Some of the crowd breached the barriers, fought with police and entered the Capitol by force.  Subsequently, many others walked in past police who made no attempt to impede their entry.  The followers, for the most part, simply stood around taking pictures.

If you appear at a BLM protest, deliver a speech with fiery rhetoric, then leave, after which some of the crowd riots, does that make you a criminal, and thereby culpable for their actions?
