It’s not really about gaining convictions so much as using the legal system itself to destroy political enemies. I hope the non-violent J6ers are ultimately pardoned, but their lives have already been ruined. Even more so, the DOJ has put fear into the hearts of anyone else (on the right) who would dare protest, even peacefully, against leftist politicians. That is the true goal here.
What goes around comes around..................
Good point. The Democrats do not have to get convictions to win. The goal is to scare the monkeys by killing a chicken in front of them. The fear of beimy singled out and persecuted does immeasurable harm to the Dem’s opponents both present and future, and pushes the country ever further away from the days anyone can run for office, because you have to have deeper pockets than Trump to even dare run,m when you know the Dems will use lawfare to financially destroy you. And the same fear spreads to campaign staff and even potential donors, who may not want to risk being perpetually scrutinized and harassed by frivolous lawsuits.
