He may not be literally on trial, but both self defense and citizens arrest arguments essentially revolve around “The other guy did it”, so yeah. He’s on trial. That’s pretty much how this is SUPPOSED to work. Flip the roles around, and if the defense creates reasonable doubt he’s not innocent... that’s self defense.

1. They restricted the law, they didn’t outright repeal it.

I don’t really see how hacking their servers is any real sort of disincentive.

Even if you prove they helped plan the rallies though, (Which, Duh, weren’t many of them speaking at them?) there’s a step between that and proving they planned the ensuing riot through the capitol.
