America’s Justice System Says Jan. 6 Was Neither a Terrorist Attack Nor an Insurrection

... according to prosecutors and courts of law. Of the more than 725 people arrested and charged in connection with the Jan. 6 incident, none have been charged with “rebellion or insurrection” under 18 U.S. Code § 2383.


In addition, if, as they have been alleging for a year now, this insurrection was really aimed at toppling the incoming Biden government and reinstating Donald Trump as president, then why have none of the more than 725 defendants been charged with “seditious conspiracy” under 18 US Code § 2384?


<snip>


And if Trump — or anyone else supposedly fomenting and guiding the “insurrection” — was indeed advocating for the overthrow of the Biden government, then why have they not been charged accordingly? 18 US Code § 2385 criminalizes “advocating the overthrow of government,” which it defines as knowingly or willfully advocat[ing], abet[ting], advis[ing], or teach[ing] the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States.”

Not a Terrorist Attack

After 365 days of criminal investigations, there has not been enough evidence to bring such charges against any of the more than 725 people arrested in connection with what is now hyperbolically (and laughably) considered a 9/11-like attack on the Capitol.

Were this an actual domestic terror attack, it would have been charged as such. It was not. Not one of the more than 725 Jan. 6 defendants has been charged with a terror-related offense. This will undoubtedly come as a shock to Biden, Harris, and any Democrat who believes their hysterical rhetoric.

<snip>

If the Jan. 6 “terrorists” really had brought gallows into the Capitol with the intent of hanging then-Vice President Mike Pence if he didn’t acquiesce to their demands to stop the electoral vote certification, then why have none of them faced a domestic terrorism sentencing enhancement?

<snip>

The answer is as simple as it is predictable: The reality of Jan. 6 is nowhere near Democrats’ rhetoric about it. Jan. 6 was a riot and a national embarrassment, but it was not an insurrection, an attempted coup, or the worst attack on America since 9/11 or Pearl Harbor.

If it were, the criminal charges would have reflected it.
