Plotted to block the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory: Check. Discussed bringing weapons into Washington to aid in the plan: Check. Succeeded with co-insurrectionists, if only temporarily, in stopping Congress from carrying out a vital constitutional duty: Check.
Accusations against Jan. 6 rioter Thomas Caldwell certainly seem to fit the charge of sedition as it’s generally understood — inciting revolt against the government. And the possibility of charging him and others was widely discussed after thousands of pro-Trump supporters assaulted scores of police officers, defaced the U.S. Capitol and hunted for lawmakers to stop the certification. Some called their actions treasonous.
But to date, neither Caldwell nor any of the other more than 500 defendants accused in the attack has been indicted for sedition or for the gravest of crimes a citizen can face, treason.

How about they are Political Prisoners rotting away without trial or even the hope of a fair trial in the DC Gulag?
The Swamp not only wants to change the narrative from "Patriots protesting a stolen election', they want to send the message that even THINKING the election was stolen is a thought crime.
One thing’s for damn sure...if anyone charged goes to trial (rather than take a plea) an DC jury will take 5 minutes to vote “guilty” on every single charge.
“Their trials will be in the fall of 2022. In time for the elections.”

But the news says... (and without using the CYA word - allegedly.)
Is the killer of Ashli Babbitt going to stand trial for MURDER? So far, criminal charges say no

We haven’t had Habeas Corpus since 1861.
I can’t remember the last time I saw a speedy trial.
Maybe Tim McVey.
Go ahead....... prosecute and jail them
Then the wrath of the country will come down on your head
No Progressive will be safe on the street
What a pile of steaming s^^t.
“We haven’t had Habeas Corpus since 1861.”
It’s more complicated than that. See the long Wikipedia article on “Habeas Corpus in the United States”.

If the Media Mogul - Dem Party can call burning buildings, rioting, looting, vandalism, and murder “mostly peaceful”, the Capitol event should be called “totally peaceful”.
We have Democrats in charge, given that what Constitution would they follow? Certainly not the one in our National Archives.
Thanks.
I have been asking all along how you can have an ‘insurrection’ without any ‘insurrectionists’.
