Well good... treasonous insurrectionists who tried to take over the country should be treated far worse than people who merely cross the border illegally.
Kevin McCarthy Trashed On Twitter For ‘O.J. Simpson’ Approach To Jan. 6 Probe Three of the five picks voted against certifying the 2020 election results. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kevin-mccarthy-committee-picks_n_60f67669e4b0e92dfebbd51e House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was called out on Monday for the five Republican lawmakers he tapped to sit on the select committee that will investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol that was carried out by pro-Trump insurrectionists. All five of the picks ― Reps. Jim Banks (Ind.) Jim Jordan (Ohio), Rodney Davis (Ill.), Kelly Armstrong (N.D.) and Troy Nehls (Texas) ― are, like McCarthy, allies of former President Donald Trump. Three of the five ― Banks, Jordan and Nehls ― voted against certifying the 2020 Electoral College votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania. None voted to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the violence. Jordan could even be called as a witness due to his links to Trump. During the attack itself, Rep.

First US Capitol rioter convicted of a felony gets 8 months in prison after DOJ says stiffer sentence could stop future attacks https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/19/politics/capitol-riot-felony-paul-hodgkins/index.html He pleaded guilty last month to obstructing congressional proceedings – specifically, the counting of the electoral votes, which he helped delay on January 6. ---------- Yet, had he been charged with "high treason"...that's a mandatory life sentence. In the old days..."high treason" was a death sentence via firing squad. Unfortunately, we lost one treasonous U.S. veteran when she was shot dead trying to climb through a broken window in the Senate hall to get at the congressional members barricaded on the other side of the door. Some of her family members publicly denounced what she did. To date...579 people have been arrested and charged with crimes. You can find a full list of these Anti-Americans at the below link plus the state they're from. https://www.insider.com/all-the-us-capitol-pro-trump-riot-arrests-charges-names-2021-1 I have not gone thru the full list...hopefully there's no one on the list that's from South Dakota, Illinois, or Kentucky. wrbtrader
The DOJ is wrong. Threats of incarceration don't fix stupid. But they may stop the mentally slow from following the stupid.
