After A Pause, Jan. 6 Arrests Are Now Sharply Increasing.

The pace of FBI arrests and the opening of new Jan. 6 criminal cases quickened so much in late 2023 and early 2024 that District of Columbia federal courts could bend under the weight.
quote:
In the past two months, 93 people have been arrested and charged, according to Department of Justice (DOJ) reports.
At the current rate, some 445 new cases could hit the docket in 2024—more than in 2022 and 2023, according to one estimate.
In total, up to March 6, at least 1,358 people have been arrested by the FBI and criminally charged by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for crimes related to Jan. 6.
If the current trend is to hold, total arrests could be 2,150 by the time the statute of limitations on Jan. 6 crimes expires in early 2026, according to Jacob Rugh, associate professor of sociology at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Mr. Rugh and researcher Isabella Felin have been publishing Jan. 6 statistics and data visualization on X and Instagram since August 2022.
William Shipley, a former federal prosecutor who has represented more than 50 Jan. 6 defendants, said he noticed an upswing in cases starting in September 2023.
“Within the past two months, three months, it seems like you’re seeing six, eight, 10 a week,” Mr. Shipley said on Feb. 23 during an Epoch Times panel discussion at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland.
“Every day, every day you see two or three more,” Mr. Shipley said. “My own view: it’s a political operation. Just my personal opinion. I think the Department of Justice, the Biden administration, is committed to continuing to keep this story front and center for purposes of the campaign.”
Mr. Shipley said there was a six- to eight-month pause in arrests and prosecutions starting in early 2023 due to the strain Jan. 6 cases put on D.C. federal courts.

I wonder why the Kavanaugh rioters who disrupted the official proceedings of his confirmation aren't being hunted down, arrested and sentenced to years in prison?
Some of them got a $50 fine!

Meanwhile, Hunter video taped himself breaking the law on numerous occasions....and nothing.

Can't vote if you're in jail.

Can the FBI still operate with that many employees out of work due to being arrested?

Commies always jail political dissidents. This is not new.

Need to scare white women.

What about all those cars I see speeding on the interstate and none of them get a ticket.
It’s unfair!

Intimidation and sending the message that if "you" get out of line the FBI will be knocking on your door as well...
Beyond crazy that this Jan 6 crap has not been put to a stop already... Those in Congress are absolute cowards for not demanding it stop every day...

I think the confusion comes from a general lack of understanding of basics parts of political science.
The strength of a state is measured by its ability to peacefully transfer power. That means that any attempt to disrupt that is a critical attack on the state itself and our system as a whole.
The protestors for Kavanaugh had no realistic aspirations for stopping the proceedings and while it can technically be the case, in this instance it did not represent a transfer of power.
January 6th was a much more serious matter, and those that participated are being dealt with accordingly. The only ways that you can disagree with that is A) you do not have a basic understanding of government, or B) you hate America.

There's an election coming up

This is an absolute lie. They didn't fight Gorsuch because it was a conservative replacing a conservative. They fought Kavanaugh because it was a conservative replacing a liberal. His place on the Court represented a transfer of power on the Supreme Court.

He replaced the guy who was appointed by Ragan and overwhelmingly sided with the right throughout his entire career. Just because he tried to play moderate occasionally doesn't make him a liberal.
538.
Also the protestors were there to make their displeasure known, not to stop the proceedings to try to install their own people, and the Supreme Court has quite a lower bar within the concept of a transfer of power than the Executive.

Pointing out that a campaign worked directly with a foreign government to gain aid in an election by handing over voter meta data is very different from lying about the vote count being tampered by election officials and then storming the capitol to take over the government.
