Q: Why are the rioters being charged with crimes lesser than the one directly on point, Seditious Conspiracy (18 USC §2384)(20 years)?
A: Maybe because sedition charges must be cleared first with Main Justice, the DOJ office Trump has most control over. U.S. Attorney Manual:
1/2
Specifically, sedition charges must be approved by the Assistant A.G. for National Security, John Demers, a career prosecutor who served under Obama before Trump. Since he's career, hopefully he's waiting for Garland to be in place before setting off a shitstorm.
2/2
Why am I so adamant that the Nov. 6 insurrectionists need to be charged with MAXIMAL crimes, not mere trespass, and sentenced to decades behind bars?

History.

A short thread on the foreseeability of RW protesters violently forcing their way into the Capitol. See if these details resonate:

"A special legislative session at the... Capitol got off to a chaotic start... with far-right protesters storming the [building]."
1/
"a growing number of protesters pushed their way through the Capitol doors chanting, “let us in"... Police officers donned gas masks as they squared off with protesters, some of whom carried firearms and bear spray"
2/
"Among the protesters were members of Patriot Prayer, a far-right group based in Vancouver, Washington, that attracts white supremacists and has engaged in violence."

"officers were sprayed with 'some kind of chemical agent'... while trying to repel people from the building"

This was not only foreseeable, it was foreseen by many, many of us. Here's a short thread of tweets from 2016-17:

I appreciate Ezra's empathy here. After all, we generally view the people who drank the Kool-Aid at Jonestown as victims, not perpetrators. But also? The adults at Jonestown who voluntarily gave poison to their own children KNEW THAT GIVING POISON TO CHILDREN WAS WRONG.
1/
(And yes, I know that many at Jonestown were forced at gunpoint to do so. I'm taking about the ones who weren't.)
2/
Every person who set foot in the Capitol yesterday knew they weren't supposed to be there. Regardless of their mistaken beliefs, they knew what they were doing at that moment was wrong.

Rove: $ security makes voters Republican, but education makes even the wealthy vote Democrat.

Which... is accurate. I've long asserted "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" did as much harm as Reaganism: Wealth as religion. Wealth as ethics. 1 Tim. 6:10: biblegateway.com/passage/?searc…
1/
Have you ever wondered why Trump adores One America News Network? And why OANN loves Trump? And what the hell OANN even IS, anyway? That Rove quote explains it.
2/
OANN is owned by Robert Herring, the 79-year-old son of Louisiana sharecroppers, who dropped out of high school, opened a chain of pet shops, and ultimately made millions printing circuit boards at the start of the tech revolution.

"Swanson said the directive came from USPS headquarters about a week ago and that boxes are probably being removed nationwide."

Nah, sis. "A week ago" = this is Trump's stooge's doing. He gets zero benefit of the doubt. A couple reasons why:
1/
I have a fairly solid understanding of USPS operations dating back over a decade, for: reasons. Here are a few reasons not to trust anything the PM General is doing right now:
2/
• He claims he's saving $ by eliminating overtime. But mail volumes vary WILDLY; USPS uses overtime when vols are high to avoid overstaffing when volumes are low; ie, OT can save money.
