Can you do it?

 

In regards to the impeachment trial of ex-President Donald J. Trump, all 100 U.S. Senators will today take an oath to do “impartial justice”:

"I solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of (the president’s name), President of the United States, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: so help me God.”

There will be cases made on both sides as to whether Trump is guilty or not guilty as to the incitement of insurrection against the U.S. Government.

Your task here is to advocate for Trump’s innocence.  Playing the part of his lead lawyer, make your case(s) for your client’s innocence*.  How would you go about this task?
