I wonder if any of these folks are being asked who accompanied them and told, “If you lie to us, that’s a crime too.”

No charge for murder in the commission of a felony? I wonder why that is. Hummmm…

I had to look it up. This the relevant code on “civil disorder”:
(3) Whoever commits or attempts to commit any act to obstruct, impede, or interfere with any fireman or law enforcement officer lawfully engaged in the lawful performance of his official duties incident to and during the commission of a civil disorder which in any way or degree obstructs, delays, or adversely affects commerce or the movement of any article or commodity in commerce or the conduct or performance of any federally protected function— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

Make sure there are picture books. This didn’t look like a crowd of avid readers.

Generous, of them, perhaps, to so easily give up so much of their lives.
Or, mayhaps, simple folly.

The failure described in this story on the part of the admin reminds of the PDB dubya received informing him Al Qaeda determined to strike in US (paraphrasing), and he ignored it and told briefers, thanks, you’ve covered your ass, bye. They slammed into the buildings less than two weeks later.
A day before rioters stormed Congress, an FBI office in Virginia issued an explicit internal warning that extremists were preparing to travel to Washington to commit violence and “war,” according to an internal document reviewed by The Washington Post that contradicts a senior official’s declaration the bureau had no intelligence indicating anyone at last week’s pro-Trump protest planned to do harm.

The top Pentagon brass being fired and replaced by Shithead’s sycophants, or 'phancy bois as I call them, was all part of the planning.
None of this happened in a vacuum and I don’t need tinfoil to suss that out.
