It has been nearly three years since the January 6 Capitol protest.
Prosecutor Jack Smith's indictment of Trump is almost a work of plagiarism: it uses the same bombastic language as the January 6 committee, tells the same worn narrative, and takes the same creative leaps in logic, although Smith is less candid with his charges; he is curiously reluctant to use the word "Insurrection." To spare the trouble of proving his audacious case, Smith opts for the imprecise and verbose "Events at the Capitol," a phrase that appears no less than 15 times in a recent filing.
If January 6 was an insurrection, it was among the most orderly, and uneventful in modern history.
They face charges for crimes like trespassing and "Obstruction of an official proceeding," a crime which prior to January 6 had never been used to target political protesters, much less an American president.
The January 6 protesters have always been treated differently, not because of their actions but because of their beliefs.
In any case, it does not matter what the January 6 protesters believed.
The January 6 protesters have been persecuted for exercising the core civil rights of American citizens.
