(snip) It was domestic enemies of the Constitution who stormed the Capitol and occupied the Capitol who sought to thwart the will of the people to stop the transfer of power, he said. Later he said, Ultimately, Donald Trump the president of the United States spurred a mob of domestic enemies of the Constitution to march down the Capitol and subvert American democracy
January 6th was the culmination of an attempted coup.
Violence was no accident. It represented Trumps last stand, most desperate chance to halt the transfer of power.
Thompsons use of the phrase domestic enemies was deliberate. He noted the Civil War-era adoption of language regarding all enemies foreign and domestic in the federal oath to account for the Souths rebellion.
In other words, the crimes committed by Trump and his co-conspirators are categorically akin to war-waging against the United States.
