It was the election conspiracies, propagated by Mango Mussolini and Faux News, that there was election fraud, that was a major factor that lead to her actions. Her speech is a contributing factor in her ultimate criminal actions.
She could even sue both for misleading and instigating and encouraging lawlessness.
