You're conflating two completely separate matters.
The individual culpability of Trump in inciting a riot and sedition is not at all affected by the individual culpability of the protestors for any of the numerous crimes they committed. And testifying that they were incited by Trump will not protect any of the criminals from facing the penalties for their crimes, but may entitle them to less harsh judgement for assisting the investigation into the higher crimes Trump undoubtedly committed.
