This filing is damning as hell.
And lots of Republicans testified against Trump in the grand jury. That is clear.

It is good to see it in print, Trump watched on TV the Capitol Police officers being beat, and he did nothing. #Jan6th
Like Trump, I followed the #January6thInsurrection events of my city's police officers beating assaulted via Twitter. Only one of us had the power to call up the FBI or the Guard to stop it.
Michael Waldman:
The unsealed evidence in the January 6 case underscores how outrageous it was that the Supreme Court blocked Donald Trump's criminal trial this year. It amounts to a judicially executed cover up.
Jennifer Mercieca:
<still reading 165 pages of Trump trying to coup> Has Trump ever tried as hard for anything as he tried to coup the United States? Like, this project had his sustained attention for two months. Every day. Layers and layers of plots. Just grinding it out, trying to make it happen.
@Bix with this (anti)man, you never know if it is better that he does absolutely nothing, or if it is even worse if he finally takes one of his extremely stupid actions...
@Bix hey now, accusing the Republican Party of just being power hungry authoritarians is unfair and parochial. They’re also very greedy.
@Bix I can’t get over how cruel that man is!

@Bix Reminds me of the kid at the college watching the debate who said people should have high school civics class to know what a VP can do. (Or even a President with hostile SCOTUS and Congress, for that matter.)
All the blithering about "weaponized Justice department" from people who don't know how Grand Juries work. (And that's just from my extended family. )
Got stunned silence when I told someone "You know they had to present convincing evidence to even indict for those charges, right?"
Trump, as the J6 riots are ongoing, reacting to being informed that the Vice President had been taken to a secure location to protect his safety, Trump responds, "So what?" That’s right after Trump Tweeted: “Mike Pence didn't have the courage to .. protect our Country and our Constitution"
HA, ha #JDVance, you signed up for Pence's job.
