Within 15 minutes of leaving the stage after his speech, 45 knew that the Capitol was under attack. And did nothing. For hours.

Committee finding: 45 concocted and promoted The Big Lie, relying on fraud in his attempts to convince the public that the election was illegitimate and to subsequently stop the certification of the results

Committee finding: 45 collected hundreds of millions of dollars based on The Big Lie. And some of this money has been used to pay for lawyers for, or to offer jobs to, witnesses who were later uncooperative or dishonest with the committee

A witness (sounds like probably Cassidy Hutchinson) was offered a job that "would make her very financially comfortable" but once trump world found out what she was testifying to, the offer was revoked

Committee finding: 45 knew the crowd might get violent and he never did anything about it. He fully intended to go to the Capitol with the rioters. Insurrectionists 'were galvanized' by his tweets.

Luria: The mob was doing 45's bidding. They were pursuing the same action that he had spent weeks pressing for. And no matter who told him he was wrong, or who told him to call off his mob, he wouldn't listen.

Luria: When he told them to go home, they did. Rioters have testified that after (finally) released his video telling them to go home, they listened to him. So he had the power in every single way to stop this. And then he doubled down on attempting to justify the violence. He never condemned it.

Raskin: We found evidence of hundreds of acts of criminality. Many of those crimes are already being investigated or prosecuted by DOJ. "Our criminal justice system is not one where the foot soldiers go to jail, and the architects of the wrongdoing get a free pass"
