I saw something one of the new lawyers said and it is mostly on those grounds. Ignoring of course this is mostly political theater when it comes to the outcome I don't think that argument will work for most of the people watching. It is just too easy to connect the dots and even if they argue he never said to attack (though he definitely said use strength and made it seem things were being stolen as justification) his inaction during is what people will cling to the most. If this was not his wanted outcome he would have tweeted right away "STOP THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER!!" and kept tweeting until it calmed down. His own inner circle was begging him to do that in real time and I believe even people on Faux were denigrating him for not doing it. (I may be misremembering I watched a lot of networks that day) Even when he finally did it was half assed and he still was justifying the action. He makes it LOOK like this was his wanted outcome...and sources told CNN that day for sure he was almost giddy watching it. That plays more with people than whether or not the precedent of removal after he left office is legit or not.
The other problem they will have is the video of people saying "we are hear because of Trump". Again that won't matter to Senators but it plays with the average people. Even defenders of him I know think that is rather damning. Even if it isnt, it looks like a smoking a gun to the Average Joe. That is why certain networks played that clip on a loop...
