In the 44 months since 6 Jan 2021, more than 1,504 suspects have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to attacking the US Capitol, including more than 560 seditionists charged with feloniously assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The FBI investigation remains ongoing.

Nota Bene: USDJ Beryl A. Howell is a sagacious jurist for those of you who follow legal proceedings.

Too short a term. Not sure they’ll learn anything. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Meanwhile, the ex-Dotard-in-Chief is still on the loose. I'm surprised his neck doesn't hurt from constantly looking over his shoulder at any of the impending threats he faces: legal, criminal, civil, angry MAGA, or foreign.

Some of the trials are coming to closure. Over 1500 arrests so far and the justice department has a really high conviction rate. They are closing in on 1000 convictions. I hope they keep up the pressure. None of the no good bastards who were at the Capitol should sleep well knowing the knock on the door could come any time.
