This is not about the violence that happened.
This is not really even about Trump himself.
This is about people having the nerve to challenge their power and question the narrative...and those people must be made an example of so none ever try it again.
Republican allies: The Justice Department is treating them harshly because of their political views while those arrested during last year’s protests over racial injustice were given leniency.
Court records tell a different story.
An Associated Press review of documents in more than 300 federal cases stemming from the protests sparked by George Floyd’s death last year shows that dozens of people charged have been convicted of serious crimes and sent to prison.
The AP found that more than 120 defendants across the United States have pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial of federal crimes including rioting, arson and conspiracy. More than 70 defendants sentenced so far have gotten an average of about 27 months behind bars. At least 10 received prison terms of five years or more.

I question the "140 officers assaulted", but be that as it may...
As usual, the conservative media and politicians got a late start, but they need to keep contradicting the narrative loudly and incessantly.

The biggest omission I see is the biggest crime from the "summer of peaceful protests"" no mention of the attempted succession of the Chaz zone. That was text book insurrection, but what federal charges were ever brought? There was a felon bringing guns to the people doing it. Again where is the outrage over that event? Let's see you defend this!

HOLY SH*T: Supreme Court will review 1512(c)(2), obstruction of an official proceeding case.
This is felony used against 300+ J6ers and represents half of Jack Smith's indictment against Trump.
If SCOTUS determines DOJ has misused the statute...will be a game changer.

His interview with the Chief of the Capitol Police at the time was much more informative in my opinion.

Authorities knew days ahead and they saw what they think they saw on Jan6. So why was there a failure to have reinforcements on standby? Something not adding up and it will be exposed this year before the election. 😀
