“Some of Trump’s defenders will, of course, seek to explain Hutchinson’s testimony away and apologize for him. They will contend that if the president wasn’t heard explicitly saying, I want a violent mob to topple Congress, harm members, and overturn the election that I lost, he cannot be held responsible for what happened that day. This is nonsense. If you pour gasoline all over a building, tell some people it is essential the building burn, and make sure they’re carrying matches and lighters, you are to blame for the arson that follows—especially if you then decline to call the fire department and condone the inferno. What Trump wanted to put up in flames on January 6 was American democracy.”

Guilliani said she was a liar by saying he asked Trump for a pardon. He said that she wasn’t even in the room when he asked Trump for a pardon. Duh!!!

Giuliani I used to admire after 9/11 but now he’s a joke

The analogy, (not mine but the reporter’s) but spot on in my opinion.
