A year after Jan 6, less than 1/3 of the rioters have been caught, fewer than 10% were sentenced, fewer than half of those went to jail, and the average jail time was a few months. Is this how we deal with rioters where more than half had prior arrest records, ties to extremist groups, wore combat gear and posted on social media their intentions to shoot, hang, and otherwise kill Police and elected officials? Treason was repaid with leniency in a serious miscarriage of justice revealing the inner workings of the Justice Departmen. This research looks at the rioters, the Attorney General, the DOJ prosecutors, and the Judges in details unavailable elsewhere.
Comprehensive and detailed data on the treatment of the Jan 6 rioters is compared with federal norms as well as BLM arrest records. Judge's rulings are evaluated to identify those Judges who rejected DOJ recommendations in favor of more lenient penalties, and the influence of Political appointments, age, race, and sex of the Judges is examined for patterns. Judges' words and actions are compared to reveal who talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. The behavior of the Attorney General and the supervising DOJ prosecutors are examined to find the influences upon the Judges' rulings. Finally, after reviewing the extensive data, conclusions and projections are offered so that future events like Jan 6 do not happen again.
