No reasonable prosecutor would go after him on this though. It isn’t serious like telling people to go peacefully to the Capitol building.

That’s the problem though.
It proves we live in a banana republic. One side seems to wield the power of the courts and uses it selectively for or against political opponents.
The FBI goes after elected officials who use their positions to get contracts for family members all the time. There are people rotting in jail for it as we speak. This is particularly true at the local level though. It seems like federal level offices can get board positions, vacation dockets, and speaking engagements all day long. They also magically seem to be good at investing.
