The Capitol was bombed by leftists, and they are now free. The Congressmen were shot, in the Capitol, and they too were released. Both Carter & Clinton released from prison actual terrorists who attacked the Capitol & injured Congressmen. These facts should have been repeated for the last year by scum like Cruz.

EXCERPT By declaring the Jan. 6th riot an “insurrection,” some Democratic members of Congress and liberal activists hope to bar incumbent Republicans from running. Even support for court filings is now being declared an act of rebellion.

Speaker Pelosi helped fuel this movement — before Jan. 6 even occurred — by declaring that the Republicans supporting election challenges were “subverting the Constitution by their reckless and fruitless assault on our democracy which threatens to seriously erode public trust in our most sacred democratic institutions, and to set back our progress on the urgent challenges ahead.”

However, it has not been treated legally as an insurrection.

Those charged for their role in the attack that day are largely facing trespass and other less serious charges — rather than insurrection or sedition.

That’s because this was a riot that was allowed to get out of control by grossly negligent preparations by Capitol Police and congressional officials.

While the FBI launched a massive national investigation, it did not find evidence of an insurrection.

Democrats don’t even remember the riots they supported, provided pallets of bricks for and had people like Harris bailing out the rioters.

Here is an article coverig the issue of seditious conspiracy in 1954 by Puerto Ricans, and the 1993 World Trade Center attack by Muslims. People who did not attend these events were tried and convicted.for conspiracy.

All 4 shooters who took part in this event which wounded but did not kill 5 Congressmen served 24 or 25 years. So far I don’t think any of the participants in Jan. 6 have been convicted for more than 4 years.

https://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/03/us/03lebron.html

In 1999, Clinton comutted the sentences of a dozen Puerto Ricans who had not injured anyone but already served 16 and 19 years and left 3 others in prison who were still there when this article was written in 2007.

I don’t care for Mr. Escape to Cancun either, but he was probably aware of the very long sentences served by these Hispanics who eventually were welcomed home as heroes in their own land. Since a lot of the current participants, who certainly injured a lot of people are still being served and tried face sentencing, he may not want to point to how many years these previous people charged with seditious conspiracy were forced to serve. How many of the current actors might end up convicted to terms of 40 to 90 years for their actions if people were paying attention to past history?
