Trump is in on it. He is the one who told everyone to go to the capitol building.
I don't get how you place blame on Trump for J6.
Trump started late and was just finishing his speech with that when things had already begun to get out of hand at the Capitol building. The glowing ones thought he would finish much earlier and had a coordinated schedule starting about 1PM. Trump tweeted to denounce the crimnal activity once he heard about it and Twitter quickly took down his tweet. Most of the folks at the Rally went home after and the rest may have arrived at the Capitol for the last few minutes of the mêlèe. They arrested what, 1000? There were what, +500K at the rally?
If the people that wandered to the Capitol early, before Trump ever said go ahead to the Capitol at the end of his speech, had stayed at the rally to hear Trump say it, they probably wouldn't be in prison. That delayed speech saved a lot of people.
That info I did not know.
The details make a big difference. It was a mile to mile and a half walk from the rally to the Capitol building. Walking it in a crowd would take about a half hour +/-. Trump's speech started almost an hour late, so the folks who left after the speech arrived at least an hour later than the glowing ones had anticipated. If Trump suspected there were any DS shenanigans planned at the Capitol, that might be why he started his speech an hour late to disrupt their plan. Either way, accidentally or purposefully, that delay saved a lot of people a whole lot of grief.
