WASHINGTON — Charges have been dropped against the remaining defendants arrested in the wake of violent protests on Inauguration Day 2017.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia said in a statement Friday that they believe “evidence shows that a riot occurred on January 20, 2017, during which more than $100,000 in damage was caused,” and that 21 people have pleaded guilty for their actions that day, including one felony.

“In light of the results in the cases brought to trial, however, the U.S. Attorney’s Office has now moved to dismiss charges against the 39 remaining defendants in this matter,” the statement said.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office previously announced the dismissed charges for 38 remaining defendants, but a second motion to dismiss charges for the 39th defendant was filed later Friday.

You are not wrong, your assumption is basically correct! I’ve been saying it for years, that any conservative who shows the slightest impropriety usually will be forced out of office. Dems literally get away with murder i.e. Hitlery and Willie.
I had a good chuckle at your response, nice way that you responded. Seldom ever post, but just couldn’t resist. Off to church, have a great day!!
