AG Garland has been quietly and effectively pursuing the multiple Trump regime criminals and anyone who helped plan, finance or incite the seditious January 6th insurrection.
Because, so far, he has not displayed the enthusiasm I hoped he'd have for "righting the wrongs" of the Trump cult. And, it certainly seems like most of the insurrectionists who have already entered pleas, have done so in exchange for slaps on the wrist. It is not an explanation to say that the "mere trespassers" did not assault an officer and they have "no priors".
They actively aided and abetted an attempt to overthrow our government. They are traitors. "Only" a year or so in prison should be the penalty for the MAGATS who "only" trespassed at the US Capitol. Those who attacked officers should receive sentences lengthy enough to deter future traitors.
