The Jacob Chansley (“Buffalo Horn Guy”) case completely undermines your statement there. It will be interesting to see how his appeal plays out in 2024.

Most of the J6 prosecutions were egregious cases of prosecutorial overreach, where defendants who did nothing worse than the kind of thing that has happened repeatedly in the chambers of Congress over the years pleaded guilty to silly charges like trespassing just because they didn’t want to risk long sentences for ridiculous charges for violent crimes.

No it doesn't. There's public video of him smashing through the doors to get into the Capitol.

You may not have seen it, yet, because all the video that Tucker showed was of him, before he was escorted out of the Capitol. But he came back, later, and was right near the front of the group smashing back in. I can find the video if you still doubt it.

He pleaded guilty as charged, as well.

There was violence:

I didn’t watch the video closely but some people crossed the line. At this point, I can’t say that the shaman was violent.

See number 9 of the Statement of Offense

“one of the first 30 rioters inside the U.S. Capitol building.”

No assertion of violence by Chansley was made by the government.
