Of interest, is the fact that when Biden took office, federal prosecutors in Portland followed his signals and the dem senior leaderships signals to drop massive numbers of charges against Portland protesters. Most of them will not even have criminal records even though there were lots of serious assaults against officers and federal property and so on and so forth. And notably almost none of them were held in the slam pending trial. Meanwhile, back in DC., federal prosecutors are using a cut-no-slack, slash and burn approach against all of the demonstrators that can be identified in the capitol riot situation. Or many anyway. As usual, one set of just for the lefties and the beltway, and another for the rest of the country. The disparities have legal implications too and there is going to be some serious lawyering before it is over. The Biden DOJ is clearly going easy on its supporters but hunting down and punishing all of its political opponents. Just as they did under Comey and the Obama DOJ. Leniency for defendants in Portland clashes could affect Capitol riot cases After President Joe Biden’s inauguration, federal prosecutors agreed to probation deals for charges related to last summer’s unrest in Oregon. "There are already signs the Portland deals could create contrasts or anomalies with the Capitol cases. While the Portland defendants now face no jail or criminal conviction in connection with assaulting law enforcement, prosecutors in Washington have sought pretrial detention in virtually all the Capitol riot cases involving alleged assaults on police." https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/14/portland-capitol-riot-cases-481346
