And then there's the larger concern I've heard from counterterrorism experts, extremism experts, that this essentially is an endorsement of political violence by the incoming Trump administration. as long as that violence is against Trump's opponents.

And the most serious cases were for seditious conspiracy against leaders of extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Most defendants pleaded guilty.
