The fact is, getting someone on incitement is really, really hard. Strict scrutiny and all that. And getting someone on conspiracy to commit a crime really does require there be a definite crime -- and conspiracy to incite is thus just another layer harder.

Maybe they have some compelling materials for sedition/conspiracy to commit sedition. That might have merit.

I don't think they can get him on the riot, and so going through a song and dance trial for over that would just be campaign fodder for him. I'll wait and see, but I sure hope that is not what is happening because there are PLENTY of crimes he definitely committed. Still waiting on the stuff out of Fulton County...

From investigation or turned out that original or was to stage coup using the military (this was clearly illegal) that failed, they had 6 hour meeting in the white house on December 18th figuring out what to do. It ended about midnight and around 1am trump twitted asking his base to come to DC on January 6th that it will be "wild"

This already shows that it was all planned there, and we don't know what additional things Smith knows.
