I edited my previous comment because I knew of January 6th, I was just thinking OP meant something else. However I did not follow the events or aftermath with great detail.

Considering he was prosecuted for other things, I'm guessing there was not any actual evidence to support even a prosection?

You don't have to guess, there was.

So much so that the special counsel that was shut down when Trump won re-election took the extraordinary step of declaring publicly that he had more than enough evidence to secure conviction of Donald Trump for Jan 6th.

Not just prosecuted, convicted.

This is not some secret information, google it.

Sorry, there is a lot of misinformation from "both sides" - That is why I don't care much to watch the dog and pony show while I "dress myself" (to the person who wrote that, really?)

I am going to try to take this thread in good faith.

Here is an event that happened on Saturday, 7 million plus people took to the streets.

One side says this was a Hate America rally made up of marxists, hamas supporters and protestors paid by George Soros. The president shared an AI video of himself in a crown flying over the protesters he is supposed to represent dumping shit on them.

Every news outlet on the other side says it was a peaceful protest against authoritarian overreach.

Call me a biased leftist but the misinformation and divisive bullshit is severely tipped to the right side of the scale.

I am less inclined: “he did leave though” as evidence of innocence was a typical bad faith sea-lioned argument throughout election season.

There isn't. The misinformation is from one side. You can just read the Jan 6 select committees report or just ask Grok to slop summarize it for you.
