I am slightly concerned about the doubt placed over the indictments by the Department of Justice regarding it's charges of sedition conspiracy. There has been a history of these charges from time to time in the country when someone becomes concerned about militias and enormous numbers of guns. The indictments before this were mostly reversed in the courts. There are reasons for that. One of the reasons is that regardless of all the preparations by militias to destroy the USA government the prosecutors needed to prove the plans could succeed.
18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy (click here)
It is one thing to prepare to climb Mount Everest and it is quite something else to actually accomplish it. That is a fairly good analogy of the previous charges of seditious conspiracy.
This time it is different.
The people charged with seditious conspiracy are also White Supremacists. They have a reason for their hatred. That reason is not a valid one, but, simply a belief system that is false but very powerful to motivate young men to find their identity within hate empowered by weapons of war. Standing alone White Supremacists are not sincerely a threat to a government regardless of their belief systems and armaments.
The difference this time in the charges of seditious conspiracy is that the people who took part in the violent attempt to coupe the 2000 Presidential Elections actually could succeed. The groups and others outside the groups made their way into the Capitol when no one besides the US House and Senate and support staff were authorized to be there.
The mob made their way into the Capitol, caused harm to US Capitol Guards, caused the death of one directly and four others indirectly when they took their own lives.
