I think a lot of it is hubris.
I suspect they all think there's some sort of magic cloak that flows from FailedCoupGuy's shoulders to cover them all, and because they're so sure they're righteously right. Which, of course, WE in RealityLand know is NOT true.
I also suspect they're assuming he'll swoop in and rescue them from having to face charges. To which I'd say "Wrong AGAIN!" He's way too busy trying to keep himself out of the heat.
But desperation can make one do stupid things. It's very likely that's what'll trip him up. I don't think he's ever faced REAL hot water THIS hot, or this close.

Who is more stupid? Hero-wannabes attacking Capitol Police, or power-drunk Qonners who sent them?

I agree, but stupid people can be very dangerous so let's keep a sharp eye on them.

That's why they wanted to get the first 750 out of the way with easy-peasey plea bargains

I submit some were smart people. They simply couldn't control the stupid among them.

I'm still waiting for actual indictments, arrests, trials, and jail time.
