- redis_mlc 5y agoI always admired the writing style of that quote. In the same vein, most if not all of the Jan. 6 convictions are likely plea bargains, since Capitol Police opened the doors for protesters, but those charged likely don't want to spend $20,000 or more on a defense lawyer. None had guns, and the FBI reported this summer that there was no coup attempt or insurrection.
