Facts: the 1/6 mob caused 5 people to die, 140 LE officers to suffer severe injuries like cracked ribs, brain injuries, smashed spinal disks & more. And many more minor injuries and trauma. With 1000s of hours of video including from the rioters themselves it was the most recorded crime in US history (we prosecutors rarely have this much direct evidence). Approx 260 trials & only 2 people were acquitted (that’s a phenomenal record). Many defendants pleaded guilty (because they were). Not one defendant won a motion for selective or malicious prosecution or disclosure violations. Some of the judges overseeing cases were Trump appointed. Defendants had every legal process and rights and these were some of the most carefully scrutinized cases by DOJ ever. The highest sentences were the most serious offenders and/or people with extensive criminal histories. (Some judges questioned why the govt wasn’t seeking higher sentences actually). ⚖️

The people Donald Trump wants to give $1.776 billion of your taxpayer dollars as “compensation” for the “weaponization” of justice they’ve suffered.

Agree. It could be a raucous, rowdy, occasionally vulgar place. But it was also a place where stories were born, ideas and contacts shared, and great stuff happened. That doesn't happen at home with the kids and dogs and cats. https://t.co/HJiopK4AWN

@fnjacobs You betcha. Mom and Dad got tired of buying 9-volt batteries and finally got me a clock radio that would turn itself off after an hour...

Dear PR people: please don't pitch a good story on a slow Friday morning, then have no one available (not even you) to interview, okay?

Has anyone else noticed a big change in the @AP output in the last ten days or so? Good? Bad?
