10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Funny that you get downvoted like that. Trump wasn't posting on the Proud Boy's page to plan the attack, he's the match that set the gas on fire, he's not the guy who spread gas all over the living room... He always has the possibility to deny everything and say he didn't expect them to be dumb enough to actually attack the place because that would be sedition/treason and only an irrational idiot would do that! Where's this guy organized stuff and put his plan to execution... He's the irrational idiot...
Trump and the people in Trump’s immediate orbit were in direct or very close indirect contact with all of these groups. They knew exactly what was going to happen. In addition to the normal nutty Trump crowds they reached out to these psycho fascist militias and told them to be there to “fight like hell”. People like the Proud Boys know exactly what an invitation and rhetoric like that mean. This was not a rally that got out of hand. This was all planned out and coordinated with other schemes like the false elector scheme and the Georgia phone call. This was deliberate and planned. Trump is an idiot but he knew what he was doing. This has all been documented in the impeachment hearings, the Congressional Jan 6 investigations, and the recent indictments.
