Honestly, I would fall into this trap. The federal agent genuinely sounds like she is a person having car trouble, this trap would work on me because I guess I too am a fundamentally decent person.

Eventually, well over 1000 people were tried and sentenced,

But not a damn one with any real power, and that's the problem.

Which is why I figure the only semblance of justice that will be had here will be social or civil, not criminal. I think we will see victims suing the agents who attacked them, or raped them, or otherwise brutalized them. There will be stories in the media about these monsters that will result in some flavors of social consequences.

But I'd be shocked if any of them spend significant time in prison.

    100% Valid. While I take exception with your statement that NOBODY was punished, you are 100% correct that it was only the moronic foot soldiers that were punished, and ALL of the leaders got away.

    I was for applying the 14th Amendment/Section 3 to any MAGA who had amplified the proven Big Lie that the election was stolen. That would have tossed out nearly every Republican politician. But the cowardly Dems chose not to follow the Constitution that they are charged to protect. The MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries is old and tired, and it's time to give them the hook, and drag them offstage. They've done enough damage.

    But it's not over yet. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they inexorable. They will never stop. Jack Smith's Insurrection and Stolen Documents cases are in hibernation, not dropped. He will re-activate them the moment Trump is out of office.

    So rather than believe that Trump has escaped justice, understand that in reality, HARSH justice is hanging over his head, and NOBODY is more aware of it, than he is.

    He'll get his, and so will the rest of them.
