The wrong doing of Richard Nixon was a hangnail compared to January 6, 2021. The Department of Justice does not issue pardons. That is the role of the President of United States of American.
The insurrection on January 6th manifested as a coup against the peaceful transfer of power whereby Donald John Trump was leaving office. The entire coup was inspired and protected by Trump. Yes, protected. He never called the units of National Guard needed to END THE INSURRECTION.
The January 6th Committee has unearthed the truth. The Department of Justice has no right to look the other way for any of those involved in attempting to assail the peaceful transfer of power EXPLICITLY DIRECTED BY THE USA CONSTITTUION.

'The assault against the USA Constitution on January 6, 2021 was carried out by a mob protected by Former President Donald John Trump sitting in the dining room off the Oval Office. He ensured their safety in assailing the Capitol with dearly few police to stop self-trained assailants in the name of the White Supremacists/Nationalists and all those that entered the Capitol building.
Those protected self-trained insurgents provided for the death of Capitol Police Officer due to the extreme nature of his service to the country that day. He died because the National Guard was never called. Those skilled insurgents provided such distress by other officers they committed suicide. The assault these officers experienced was overwhelming and they could not recover from it.
The protected insurgents were so dedicated they were willing to die in the name of their protector, Donald John Trump. One insurgent, a woman did exactly that in the face of a obviously armed officer inside the Congressional Chamber. Ashley Babbitt died because she was determined to carry out the coup. She was a military trained soldier now a civilian. She took her training to a level to carry out a coup. She entered that broken window expecting any bullet that would come from that gun would miss her and she would be successful in opening the door to allow the mob into the chamber.
Realizing the dedication within the insurgent coup illustrated by Ashley Babbitt, there was a gallows outside the Capitol building waiting for legislators conducting a constitutional peaceful transition of power. The mob walked through the Capitol building seeking out legislators by name for take to the gallows. The protected insurgents were going to kill people and they were dedicated to do so. They were going to kill people in the name of a coup to maintain Donald John Trump in the White House to continue his illegitimate presidency.
It wasn't until General Milley and/or Vice President Pence were successful in sending in the National Guard to end the insurgent coup that lives inside that building were safe. It would be hours later the Vice President would continue the peaceful transfer of power with the National Guard inside the building and surrounding the Capitol building.
The truth exposed by the January 6th Committee was extremely revealing of the impetus of the insurrection, the insurgency itself with participants making compelling testimony and what ended the insurgency.
The Department of Justice HAS NO RIGHT to minimize the seriousness of the entire dynamic that played out on January 6, 2021's insurgency and who in the White House consented to it and had no reverence for life within that violence he expected to protect his authority as president of the USA.
The only person in the USA that can stop the process of law regarding Donald John Trump is the President of the United States of American, Joseph Biden. I strongly suggest the Department of Justice get on with any and all aspects of the prosecution of all those responsible for the violence and deaths of good and honest Americans serving to protect the lives inside the Capitol building who were there to carry out the power of the USA Constitution in the peaceful transfer of power.
