They rioted at the Capitol for Trump. Now, many of those arrested say it's his fault.
They broke through barricades, shattered windows and seized control of the U.S. Capitol, some making death threats against members of Congress hiding inside, others brutalizing the police officers who stood in their way.
As the cases against nearly 200 of the Capitol rioters begin to wind through federal court, many of the defendants blame the commander in chief they followed for the violence that left five dead during the insurrection Jan. 6.
In court documents, media interviews and through official attorney statements, staunch supporters of former President Donald Trump who carried out the attempted coup argue they were merely doing what they thought the nation’s leader had asked, some citing a cult-like loyalty.
Though experts said it’s unlikely the Senate would call the alleged rioters as witnesses, a handful volunteered to testify against Trump in his impeachment proceedings. Short of that, legal scholars said, Congress could enter their statements about Trump’s influence into the record during the House trial.

We could tell them, Trump played them for mindless chumps, and say, “Trump’s laughing at your sacrifice for him, he never intended on pardoning any of you, for the actions you took, on his behalf, because he believes your all suckers!”.
“If you don’t go to Mar-a-lago and demand the respect you truly deserve, he will continually treat you like shit!”.
