Capitol Riot Investigation

Our friend Hawktalk seems to have taken an LOA, probably because there's no more Donald Trump to kick around, but I'd love to hear his take on this as he once said that if there were blacks participating in the riot that there'd be a lot more arrests:
The Justice Department has notified federal judges in Washington that it expects to charge more than 500 people with taking part in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
"Over 400 individuals have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack," federal prosecutors said in court documents filed late Thursday. "The investigation continues and the government expects that at least one hundred additional individuals will charged."
The current number of people charged is 440, a law enforcement official said Friday.
Justice Department lawyers have described the sprawling investigation as one of the largest in American history in terms of the number of charges filed and the volume of evidence, which includes more than 15,000 hours of video from surveillance and police body cameras.

Although I'm going to stop well short of calling for locking these idiots up and throw the key away, depending on the evidence they have on their individual actions, each person should have to pay a heavy penalty for their participation.
These folks will soon find out that if convicted of a felony, it's going to be paper clipped to every job application they submit. I know that my former employer won't hire a convicted felon.
