no i actually saw a lawyer describe the law behind free speech on this in a youtube video recently now the supreme court has ruled on similar things

with KKK and also anti war protestors during vietnam who called for violence but not right that second and it was nebulous so that was free speech. The way Trump had worded it was he told his followers to march down Pennsylvania Ave and fight. Fight can mean a lot of things such as peacefully protesting even. Those rioters chose to rush in and attack cops on their own.

Now Trump can be impeached, that is a whole other story.

    yeah it would be the same you can't sue someone for protected free speech whether it is criminal or civil

    edit I mean you could sue them if you want you would just lose, if it got to supreme court
