    Nice story, but Januray 6th rioters were all eventually given a pass, and that’s what the ICE clowns anticipate. Just following orders, etc.

      Jan 6 rioters got a pass because Trump was elected. Once Trump is dead, that’s no longer going to be possible.

        And in order to prosecute, you need an opposition party win or a republican with a backbone.

          opposition party will win. unless democracy in this US is totally subverted (Unfortunately a real possibility). The real question is whether or not this Democrats have learned their lesson from last time, and be swift and bold.

          True, true. I don’t think many other Republicans who could win an election would have been willing to pardon the Jan. 6ers, but simply not taking action? Yeah, they’d do that easily.
