And I always say this about Jan 6.
Some people committed some pretty violent stuff.
They need to go away.

for years to force pleas so that you can weaponize and politicize the two-tier system of justice even further so that Christopher Wray, the FBI director, can go to Congress and lie and say domestic terrorism prosecutions are on the rise because they classified everything Jan 6 as domestic terrorism.
And so that he can say, him and Merrick Garland can say, oh, we've got a thousand people under investigation for this insurrection.
This insurrection that nobody was ever charged for.

I see it as a who's running these agencies and departments, where do they go afterwards, and how do they get back in?
