Good news. I hope for 500 convictions also.

Roughly 300 of them have only been charged with misdemeanors. The other 200 are facing felonies with some fairly serious jail time.

All the arrests and charges have had the great affect on the militias of sowing paranoia about who is and who isn’t a snitch.

Many of them just need to look in the mirror to find the snitch.

Pretty much all of them from what I can tell. If not in court, then on their FB page and Twitter.

The cult part where they–the minions–think that they can receive the same red-carpet legal treatment as Trump is what amazes me.

“…oh yeah…we have an OLC Memo that sez that YOU we can’t touch…” :crazy_face:

Look for more internecine shootings for that very reason.

Naw, it’s helped sorting out who is one.

If you haven’t been charged, you’re either a snitch or an undercover fbi agent.

“We have now crossed the threshold of 500 arrests, including the 100th arrest of a defendant on charges of assaulting a federal law enforcement officer,” Garland said in a statement Thursday.

Its a good start, but let’s not substitute quantity for quality. How about making the next milestone announcement include TFG and his co-conspirators in the White house and Congress.

There’s the guy who pled out earlier this week to conspiracy and disrupting a government proceeding. His deal includes requirement to testify in others’ trials.

Nowhere near 50,000 people in the crowd, and crowd members are not getting charged unless they entered the building, tangled with cops outside, or conspired to do the attack.

500 down, 99,500 to go. You go, Garland!
