Let's just point out a few of the many errors in this mess of a dishonest column.
"Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick, 42, who was bear-sprayed during the riot."
Not bear spray, as FBI confirmed. Not even certain he was sprayed with anything.

"A minority marched on the Capitol. Some of that crowd surged past the Capitol police, in some cases forcibly."
The first breach occurred at 12:50pm, as Trump was still speaking, and not by people who had attended Trump's speech.

Ok either an LOL or shame on you, fraud.
"Violent confrontations that left Ashli Babbitt shot dead." No mention of the cop who killed her.

"He made his way into the House chamber and mounted the speaker’s podium, where the vice president had stood until he was evacuated."
It was the Senate chamber.

"Julie Kelly at American Greatness, perhaps the most vocal of those, goes even further and argues, preposterously, that Chansley should not even have been charged with the felony he pleaded guilty to, because 'the government’s attempt to apply this vague law to defendants in...
the Capitol case is a stretch.”
Hey @baseballcrank what about Judge Moss who called said it suffered from a "constitutional vagueness problem?" Or other judges who have noted (in hearings you don't cover) that it hasn't been applied to political protests?

"I would not recommend taking legal advice from Julie Kelly. As it happens, the phrase 'official proceeding' is not vague in the least. Congress explicitly defined 'official proceeding' for purposes of Section 1512 in 18 U.S.C. § 1515(a)(1).
Wrong statute. It's 1512 (c)(2).
Wrong statute. It's 1512 (c)(2).
Judge Metha in Oath Keepers case (another case @baseballcrank hasn't followed) questioned obstruction charge, noting its original premise. "Scaring the daylights out of everyone in the House or Senate to me is very different than destroying evidence or intimidating witnesses.”
"Chansley was the tip of the spear of the group that actually interrupted the ongoing joint session of Congress."
By the time Chansley entered the building, Congress had been adjourned due to the phony bomb threat.
Fact matter...apparently not to @nro.
