Trump just happened to be there and just told them to be there ("It's gonna be WILD!") and just happened to organize what they would do when they got there. but that in no way connects him to what happened there.

Even though he went home and watched in on TeeVee with great satisfaction.  There's still no connection between his actions and their actions.  None at all.  Nosirreebob!

And if that doesn't work, use the Humpty-Dumpty defense!

In a 78-page brief, Trump lawyers say he was using the word "fight" in "the figurative sense," noting that he described Jim Jordan as "out there fighting" but that Jordan "was not punching any of his fellow representatives.”https://t.co/CB8awTBJQh

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."
