More than 300 people have been charged in connection with the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol and nobody has pleaded guilty. Yet.
Capitol riot prosecutors may charge more than 400 people and plea deals may come 'within a few weeks'

Dumb: taking a police officer's badge. Dumber: burying it in the backyard. Dumbest: Forgetting where it's buried and having to use a metal detector to locate it.

Lauren Simmons, president of Big Dog Ranch Rescue, helped spread Donald Trump's lies about voter fraud and a stolen election and helped contribute to the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. "Stop the steal," she wrote on Facebook. “Either we TAKE power back or we will never be free again. No more asking nicely. Our founding fathers warned us. This is not a drill." Now we learn her charity has funneled $2,000,000 to Donald Trump. On her Facebook page, she is being called "sick," a "crook" and a "traitor" – and a few names I would not want to repeat.

Two men who sprayed Officer Brian Sicknick in the face with bear repellent during the January 6 riot at the Capitol have been arrested. Sicknick died the following day. The men have not been charged with murder because investigators have not yet determined that the bear spray directly caused the officer's death.

During the 2020 Presidential race, Trump attempted to emulate Richard Nixon by declaring himself to be the "law and order" candidate – and then instigated an insurrection by telling his blindly loyal supporters to march to the Capitol and "fight like hell." More than 300 have been arrested for assault, violent entry, trespassing, conspiracy, destruction of government property and other crimes.

Here is further evidence that the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol was not spontaneous but was very carefully planned:

Supposedly there is no longer a known, credible threat against Congress or the Capitol – but Donald Trump's violent, hateful, blindly loyal followers are still out there and they continue to believe all his lies about a rigged, stolen election. I think the fencing should remain.
