Those of you who think Trump did nothing wrong on January 6, please very briefly in your own words say what he actually did.

He gave a speech at a rally, after which he went back to the White House.  Nothing in the speech exceeded his 1st Amendment rights.  

After his departure, many of those present marched to the Capital and the rally evolved into a protest.  A handful of protesters tried to force their way inside and began struggling with Capitol Police.  Many others who probably wouldn't have initiated such an action on their own, spontaneously joined in and the event turned violent.  

After the perimeter was breeched and protesters entered the building, some Police gave up and allowed many more to walk in unimpeded.  Most of those who entered were completely peaceful and just wandered around taking pictures.

Meanwhile, back at the White House, Trump did little to quell the crowd.  It was poor leadership, but neither criminal, nor proof of any conspiracy.  You're desperate to believe him guilty of insurrection, but supporting facts simply don't exist.
