Honestly, you're looking at a case where the ACLU would probably defend Trump if your cornerstone is this testimony.
It isn't illegal to encourage /peaceful/ protests. What Trump did was whip a mob into a frenzy, directed them to Congress and they proceeded to break in, deface our highest institutions, assault police officers and committed countless other crimes. The dude is a contributor to every single one of those crimes, in addition to high crimes. Period.
