Biden left with egg on his face as facts of Capitol 'riot' wind through courts

--- Quote ---Democrats have been bloviating for months now about an "insurrection" and a 'threat to democracy' in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. They've razor-wired up the Capitol and deployed tens of thousands of unsmiling National Guard troops, making the capital of the free world look more like Kinshasa, Yamoussoukro, Damascus, or Cairo. Joe Biden called it an "existential" threat to the U.S., trying to go Sartre on us. Democrat narrative-maker (and creative writing major) Ben Rhodes, according to MSNBC claimed:  "The Jan 6th insurrection was a ‘terrorist attack on the heart of American democracy.’"

Which presumably should have offered some pitched battles, explosions, blood in the streets, heads on pikes, mobs with torches, and lots and lots of guns, the way other people's insurrections do.

Nope, the miserable event was nothing but a pumped-up crowd upset about election fraud, with a few bounders, and a situation that got out of control with an inadequate Capitol police guard allowing, or even inviting them, to come in to the Capitol to yell about it.

This occurred as Congress formalized the presidential vote for Joe Biden, in an election where all signs point to a lot of ballot fraud.

The rest was just protest theatre, plenty of arrests, lot of trespassing, some vandalism, lots of selfies posted conveniently for prosecutors on social media, lots of tattling, and no question as to how the outcome was going to turn out. There were five deaths, four of unarmed protestors, including one who was shot at close range in the neck by an unnamed Capitol police officer, and one of a police officer who was quickly cremated amid shifting stories, and a mendacious New York Times report, with inflammatory claims about the circumstances of how he died. That's since been discredited, leaving them with egg all over their faces.

The arrests of the protestors are now winding their way through the courts. And surprise, surprise, the prosecutors, who are probably leftists themselves, are not finding any grand plots. All of Joe Biden's windblowing about the 'threat to democracy is coming to naught. There never was a threat to democracy. There was never a grand 'insurrection.' No heads on pikes, no torches. There were just conservatives and marginal characters-who-never-vote acting like Code Pink or Black Lives Matter.

Most of them will likely face lesser charges with jail at most.


--- Quote ---Even the judges are getting disgusted, Politico reports:

And prosecutors are facing pressure from judges to either back up their tough talk about sedition or put a lid on it. Michael Sherwin, the former lead Jan. 6 prosecutor, found himself rebuked by other senior prosecutors and Judge Amit Mehta last week for publicly flirting with the possibility of sedition charges when none had actually been leveled.

They would like these prosecutors to either go to the bathroom or else get off the pot. They're tired of the bloviating, just as much of the public is.

Politico also reports that leftists are going to be upset with this state of affairs, demanding long prison terms for miscreant protestors. They'll protest to Joe Biden about it and demand radical judges. Their aim of course in throwing rival protestors in prison for long sentences, is to complete that Havana-style effect. Rhodes, after all, legitimized Havana and all its horrible political prisons back in the Obama days. The left is bringing some of that Havana here.

Given that the looting, burning and vandalism in DC on June 6 2020 got charges like curfew violation, seems fair to me.

Well you must admit compared to the guy in New York who killed his mother and is out on the street, those charged in the Jan 6, 2021 incident seem to be going through harassment by law enforcement.

It's a case of TWC. Trespassing While Conservative

ADsOutburst:
Biden and the dems will never admit being wrong about this. They'll just claim "See? white men can get away with anything!".
