Wait! What?

For John, BLUF:  The bruhaha surreounding the events of 6 Janauary 2021 suggest the kind of mindless activites of the French Revolution or Europe Post-WWI.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Garland confirms no one who participated in January 6th has been charged with insurrection

From The New Neo, by Herself, 22 October 2021.

Here is the lede plus three:

Or rather, he sort of confirms it:

But, when asked by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) if any of the individuals who have been arrested for participating in the riot have been charged with “insurrection,” Garland told him “I don’t believe so.”

“Has any defendant involved in the January 6th events been charged with insurrection?” Gohmert asked.

“I don’t believe so,” Garland responded.

First off, if Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) suggests anything, one needs to pause and examine alternative answers  It is possible that Representative Schiff holds the record in Congress for being on the wrong side of any given issue.

It appears to me that Speaker Nancy Pelosi is using the 6 January events as part of her campaign to elect Democrats, by tying Republicans to this myth of an Insurrection on that day.  And, it continues her total distain for President Donald J Trump.  I expect she is disappointed in Attorney General Merrick Garland for not coming up with anybody who can be charged with insurrection.
