Jacob Sullum, Reason: Was the Capitol Riot an "Insurrection," and Did Trump "Engage in" It?

"Iffy," says Sullum.
   I basically agree with everything he says, other than the claim that the rioters were armed. A very few were, but you can't make the general claim on that basis.
   I agree that Trump could justifiably have been found guilty in the second impeachment...but he wasn't.
   Everything else even aside, leave it to Trump to seize defeat from the jaws of victory. If he would have acted like a minimally rational human being after he lost, he'd be on his way to a landslide victory in '24.
Not that he deserves it.
