Perhaps. Generally speaking I default to trusting the government and law enforcement. Nearly any controversial video that comes out (BLM riots, Kyle Rittenhouse, George Floyd, Daunte Wright, Breonna Taylor, J6 assault, etc.) I find myself on the side of the cops. And the few FBI friends I know do a heck of a job (although they mostly work counterterrorism for a geographic region) but if asked to investigate the Capitol attack, they would've. The idea that they'd be fired for that is concerning to say the least.

When I hear that the January 6 cases were rigged/excessive charges/sentences, etc. I remember a statistic that something like 58% of the judges involved in the cases were appointed by a Republican president and of that 58%, a significant portion were appointed by President Trump.
If all the cases were heard by one judge, then yeah, maybe there is an argument. But, when many many different judges heard the cases and they all came to the same conclusion tells me that there was no conspiracy, etc.

I dont know law at all, but my (very weak) understanding is that they can "steer" the direction of the trial. At least, that is the impression I got with some of the recent trails involving President Trump. One side claims this judge is too biased against him. Another trial, the other side claims the judge is too biased for him.
But again, I am not a judge (and dont even play on on TV). LOL

Yeah, it's relatively simple. The Orange Man got his followers to believe the election fraud hoax (if I believed it, I'd be pissed too) and they moved the protest towards the Capitol, which is natural since that's where the certification process was taking place. Once the crowd realized they easily could move beyond the police barricades, inertia took over. Most folks were peaceful, some took it too far and committed unacceptable crimes.
