Insurrection Was the Furthest Thing from Trump’s Mind

December 7, 2021 By Richard C. Young

Originally posted on January 15, 2021.

At The American Spectator, Dov Fischer details the evidence that there was no incitement of insurrection by the president. He writes (abridged):

I have been an attorney for more than 20 years, litigated on the front lines in the biggest of cases, served as a former Chief Articles Editor of one of America’s most respected law reviews, been an adjunct law professor for 16 years, and more.

My politics is my subjective politics, but the law is the objective law. Under the law — criminal law — there is a concept known as men’s rea. That Latin term derives from the phrase: “actus reus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea” (“The act is not culpable unless the mind is guilty”). There is no crime of incitement nor any crime at all here if the acting party had no intention to incite a crowd to act unlawfully.

I have played and watched — several times — the full actual speech that Trump delivered on January 6.

Any fair person who listens to the embedded link especially for one minute between 18:00 and 19:00 — and particularly to the words at 18:47–18:56 — cannot but recognize that President Trump, lacking even a bare modicum of training or hands-on experience in the dynamics of street protest, an area completely outside his many, many fields of remarkable expertise, never intended for an unlawful assemblage nor for violence of any kind to take place.

An insurrection or coup was the furthest thing from his mind.

For him it was one more motivating speech, one more chance to assure his most devoted followers that, as long as they stand with him, he will not back down in his efforts to gain a lawful, legal investigation into the veracity of the reported November 3 presidential election results.

Be fair and listen objectively to the speech, especially at the one-minute section that plays at 18:00–19:00 at this link.

Read the transcript.
