Sedition

[I]f Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election.  All he has to do.  This is from the number one or certainly one of the top constitutional lawyers in our country.  He has the absolute right to do it.  We're supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our constitution, and protect our constitution.  States want to revote.  The States got defrauded.  They were given false information.  They voted on it.  Now they want to recertify.  They want it back.  All Vice-President Pence has to do is send it back to the States to recertify, and we become president, and you are the happiest people. ...

We're going to have to fight much harder and Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us.  If he doesn't, that will be a sad day for our country because you're sworn to uphold our constitution.  Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy.  After this, we're going to walk down and I'll be there with you.  We're going to walk down.  We're going to walk down any one you want, but I think right here.  We're going walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators, and congressmen and women.  We're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because you'll never take back our country with weakness.  You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.

-- Outgoing president Donald Trump, in a speech (rev.com) that was followed by a march on the Capitol by thousands of rioters who interrupted Congress, vandalized property, and engaged in violence that resulted in injuries and at least one death, 6 January 2021
