I think that Trump could get his incitement charge upgraded to treason, if you scroll down to the "House manager claims Trump knew rioters were planning the Capitol attack online months in advance" headline you will see evidence that he knew that this would happen and yet did not attempt to stop it. And the other articles say that the Republican National Committee is doing very little to defend him because they can't find any evidence that says that he didn't incite the insurrection, and everyone wants this to be done with.
Quote:
House impeachment manager Stacey Plaskett claimed former President Trump and his social media team were aware of people planning the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol on social media sites and online forums, adding that the administration ignored warnings from the FBI that the violent threats were credible.
"They posted exact blueprints of the attack openly, loudly, proudly – and they did this all over public forums," Plaskett said during her remarks. "These were not just hidden posts and dark websites that Trump would not have seen. Quite the opposite. We know President Trump monitored these websites. We know this because his advisers confirm it," she said.

She pointed out that before the riot on Jan. 6 several media outlets, including Fox News, reported that there were hundreds of these violent posts online. She said city leaders and the FBI also issued warnings.
"The day before the rioters stormed the Congress an FBI office in Virginia also issued an explicit warning that extremists were preparing to travel to Washington to commit violence and, quote, war, according to internal reports," she said.
Plaskett ended her argument by saying Trump spent months calling his supporters to an event that had a specific time and place.
"Leading up to the event there were hundreds, hundreds of posts online showing that his supporters took this as a call to arms to attack the Capitol," Plaskett said. "There were detailed posts of plans to attack online. Law enforcement warned that these posts were real threats and even made arrests days leading up to the attack."

I think that this can get incitement upgraded to treason, correct me if I am wrong.
