The current AG was sworn in in March. That was eight months ago.
So far 702 people have been charged, and investigations have been ongoing.
How about: It's been almost a year and the Republican Party is tightening ranks to protect the insurrectionists?
Put blame where it goes.

"Not a single person in power has yet been held accountable."
Trump was impeached.
Trump was removed from office.
Smart prosecutors don't indict before collecting all the evidence.
(These are not civil cases. Things work differently in criminal law.)

Are we on the same planet? Trump did not simply "step down at the end of his tenure."
He did everything he possibly could to stay in office. Everything.
Guess what, people. Sometimes insurrections WORK.
Getting ousted from office is a CONSEQUENCE.

Maybe (hear me out) the problem is not right-wing extremism.
Maybe the problem is that Americans don't know how to deal with right-wing extremism.
Because it's clear when people say "no consequences" they don't really mean "no consequences."
They mean . . .

. . . "I want people in power taken to prison."
They don't really mean "criminal indictments" because actually, indictments are easy to file.
The hard part is putting proof beyond a reasonable doubt in front of a jury. It's easy when someone is caught on film breaking in.

I promise this: If prosecutors rush to file indictments against "people in power" before they've collected all the evidence, and a jury acquits you'll be a lot angrier.
Maybe the problem isn't right-wing extremism.
Maybe the problem is people think there are magic solutions.

Yes.
Actually, people blame the Democrats (and Garland) for Republican law-breaking.
Literally: "Republicans break the law and it's all the fault of the Democrats!"
Fact: The criminal justice system can't solve the problem of right-wing extremism.

If you got this far and you're not busy composing a Tweet telling me I'm stupid and naive or "I hope you're right," see my video on criminal consequences and right-wing extremism.
There's a transcript on my blog.

Yes, @mbrockenbrough is right. Where's the edit button.
Here's how I see it: Right-wing extremists are not going to disappear. They've always been a problem and they always will.
If the opposition stays united they can be outnumbered.
(IF is a big word)

Instead of the opposition uniting, people are attacking the Dems, prosecutors, and the select committee for not solving the problem faster.
Yup. Those who claim to be opposed to authoritarianism are attacking the people who are working around the clock to save them.
Real smart.

When people called themselves "resistors" during the Trump presidency, many of them meant "resist Trump" and "resist authoritarianism."
But apparently, there were "resistors" who were simply thrilled by the idea of resisting ALL government, even a democratic one.
