The Articles of Impeachment should begin before Trump’s rally:

1) The President said the election he lost was fraudulent and rigged. Not a single Democratic or Republican election official agreed. Not a single liberal or conservative judge agreed.
2) Trump then pressured multiple Republican officials to break the law, violate their oath of office, and overturn the election - election officials, state legislators, Members of Congress, and his own Vice President.
3) When not enough Republicans went along with Trump’s scheme, he summoned his supporters to Washington, and told an armed mob to march to the Capitol in order to disrupt the lawful certification of the election.
4) During the attack that left five Americans dead, he initially resisted deploying additional protection for Members of Congress and his own Vice President, and continued to publicly pressure Republicans to overturn the election.
5) It is, without question, the most evil, dangerous behavior exhibited by any American president in history. And there must be accountability.
Should say “among” the most dangerous and evil behavior, though I will say: a homegrown fascist violently overthrowing our government would certainly be a uniquely terrifying evil in American history.
