    Especially in a large conspiracy case with defendants turning and producing additional evidence and investigatory paths. It’s been delayed by the judge and likely won’t start before spring.

    What did you believe was happening when trump cultists were fighting with police to enter the Capitol, causing the certification of the election to be halted while the Vice-President was evacuated?

    Per Black’s Law Dictionary
    A rebellion, or rising of citizens or subjects in resistance to their government. See INSURGENT.Insurrection shall consist in any combined resistance to the lawful authority of the state, with intent to the denial thereof, when the same is manifested, or intended to be manifested, by acts of violence. Code Ga. 1882,

    Which part of that definition do you believe doesn’t match what happened?

    Trump supporters wanted to overturn the election, they stormed the capital attacking police violently, breaking windows to get in, breaking thorough barricade doors to get to members of Congress

    not sure how anyone on the right can defend that

    the link does not really support the op. the fact that the dem congresscritters were locked in offices or on the floor of the balcony might explain why they "did not realize just how bad the January 6 insurrection was during it." the fact, that hiding from the mob was necessary, might be seen as supporting evidence that violence was in progress.

    Steal a laptop from a burning target and it is a peaceful protest. Do it from Nancy Pelosi and it is a coup attempt.

    burning a target, nor stealing from a burning target, are "peaceful protests. none of us has ever claimed so.

    stealing either laptop is the same crime of grand theft.

    What the FBI found. It was nothing more than what the left did all the previous year. In their description, a peaceful protest.

    Guess we can call this the selfie riot. Many were let in by capitol police. It was stupid but the actual protest was peaceful and meant to do what protests do. Protest. There were FBI ,informants and Antifa imbedded in the rioters. This clown show won’t touch that because it isn’t a real investigation.

    It was no different than the all summer long riots where we had constantly had mostly peaceful protesters and a few radicals fighting with police, committing violence, taking over swaths of territory from the police, trying to storm federal courts (you know, our democracy) and vandalizing everything in sight.

    NEVER happened according to the Left. Everyone in those videos are KKK members and actors paid by Trump. Remember, he’s an evil genius that can script and pay for all these riots and also a total moron who got lucky his entire adult life, somehow remaining rich and wealthy :)

    A true evil genius enigma like none in history. Hehe.

    What makes numerous summer riots ok? The ones that were far worse the left refused police or help from the National Guard. The one day that wasn't as bad as the summer long riots, the left want everyone who was just there prosecuted to the fullest extent and bring in the National Guard. It's all about hypocrisy.

    no one is calling it that, the violence the Trump supporters showed against the police was disgusting, they have no respect for the police

    How about the violence the Police showed against the protesters that resulted in two deaths? No problem with that after a year of calling police the enemy? Of course the hypocrisy is thick with the left.

    What absolute crap.
    What are we talking about here?!! The riots in the summer were about a real thing, police brutality against blacks. A real thing that continues to this day. Jan 6th is about a lie that Trump actually won an election. He didn't. The summer riots have actual, numerous proof of truth which the right have a hard time accepting and that same group of people, for some reason, have a hard time accepting that Trump lost. Why is that?
    The summer riots is the continued suppression of a race of people
    Jan 6th is the sad result of people following a madman.

    if you or I went to the Capital with a mob and tried to get to members of Congress, and forced ourselves in like that and broke down doors to get to members of congress, I would consider that a suicide by cop mission

    any Trump supporters that let them in, should be fired and charged too

    and if any members of congress gave them a tour to help them, they too should go to prison
