Feds Lower Expectations for January 6 Probe : American Greatness

But a funny thing happened on the way to the insurrection gulag; the overwhelming number of cases consist only of low-level offenses. That is not what Michael Sherwin, the head prosecutor handling the first few months of the Capitol breach probe, promised one week after the protest. The initial charges we re filing, these misdemeanors, these are only the beginning, Sherwin said at a January 12 press conference. We re looking at serious felony cases tied to sedition and conspiracy.

Yet, in spite of Twitter s best efforts, no one so far has been charged with insurrection or sedition; the best the government can do is file hard-to-prove charges of obstruction of an official proceeding or conspiracy, both felonies.

Insurrection? What insurrection? No one ever said anything about an insurrection. People who say we were talking about an insurrection are conspiracy theorists and will be banned from YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
