Just Security — Incitement Timeline: Year of Trump’s Actions Leading to the Attack on the Capitol

Looks like the DOD has quietly 404d that "First Amendment Protests" timeline PDF.

The Philly detective reassigned for going to Trump’s D.C. rally called Pence a ‘traitor’ after he condemned the violence and an officer’s death

The Philadelphia police detective reassigned after attending President Donald Trump’s rally in Washington — which ended with the president inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol — called Vice President Mike Pence a “traitor and a cabal operative” after he condemned the violence and publicly lamented an officer’s death.

Reassigned.
