I suspect that the answers depend on what court is available when the Feds go Court Shopping.
Well, we better Hop To It!

The Justice Department saw the first acquittal of a Jan. 6 rioter on the felony obstruction charge.
Joshua Black, of Alabama, was shot in the face by a police projectile while breaching the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Court documents show him with blood on the side of his face while in the Senate chamber. Afterward, he also allegedly recorded YouTube videos with blood still on his cheek, recounting what happened.
"I had accomplished my goal. I pled the blood of Jesus on the Senate floor. You know, I praised the name of Jesus on the Senate floor," Black said in a video, according to an FBI affidavit. "That was my goal. I think that was God’s goal."

Whose blood?
J6 “Select” Committee has made its mess on the floor and is looking for a graceful exit. Could be just a little late for that.
I’m surprised the Feddies didn’t go to their old reliable standby, perjury.
It is very unusual for acquittals of Federal charges. Wonderful news!
Additionally, can federal prosecutors be held liable for withholding said exculpatory evidence from the defense?
Or for making knowingly making false statements to the court when the governments own evidence shows they knew it to be untrue?
“I had accomplished my goal. I pled the blood of Jesus on the Senate floor. You know, I praised the name of Jesus on the Senate floor,” Black said in a video, according to an FBI affidavit. “That was my goal. I think that was God’s goal.”
Sounds like a nutjob.
Apparently, it is part of his personal Christian belief.
Give a little, take a lot!
Here is how the new legal system thinks...
“felony obstruction charge”
Because he obstructed a police projectile...
I do not promote or deny them.
I note that you express a reasonable concern.
There is NO Equal Justice Under The Law in the JustUs Department.
The Feds are having escalating troubles and diminishing success, with their Perjury Traps.
I suspect that the answers depend on what court is available when the Feds go Court Shopping.

Well said...
This whole thing sure is giving substance to the term “Trumped up charges”.
Colloquialisms of the past American Lexicon fitting today's News in multifaceted accuracy.
I guarantee they probably stacked a dozen other charges on him. They’ll get him for something.
I can’t believe that after two years we are still processing the January 6 violators in the courts. Isn’t it about time to put these prosecutions to rest?
I dont think so if they pled guilty, and 99% of them did, because they couldn’t afford to fight the FEDs.
