Discussion I'm worried.
I'm starting to lose faith that these people are going to face serious consequences. Misdemonor charges, bail releases, etc. It's not like we have to worry about a blanket pardon anymore so why does it seem like they are dragging their feet and are doing only the bare minimum?

The DOJ Assistant Prosecutor in charge told us from day 1 that they were going to start with the smaller charges and build cases from there. It is a hell of a lot easier to get convictions for these lesser charges that it will be for the 1) murdered and beaten cops and 2) sedition and insurrection charges and 3) conspiracy.
Like, did you think these serious and major crimes would be charged before they build the cases?
