So far, many people have been identified, located, and turned in by co-workers and family.
I think the FBI/DOJ may be waiting to drop the big charges on all these idiots because Cousin Joey is a lot less likely to turn in someone who will be facing domestic terrorism, 5 counts of felony murder, etc. in addition to the trespassing and other type crimes that they are charging now. It is one thing to turn someone in thinking that they will get probably a year in prison and a long probation and big fine for trespassing and knowing that you are sending someone you know to prison forever.
It would make sense to slow walk public facing charges as they bring people in and explain that they are going to be facing real charges if they don't walk us up the food chain toward the top of one of the white supremacist groups, major politicians, trump inner circle folks.
People keep turning in the little folks.
Notice that the two that everyone knows will be facing felony murder (fire extinguisher fireman and flagpole police beater guy) have not been turned in by anyone.

Hopefully 45 can't issue a blanket pardon to all of them. Wouldn't he have to actually name them?

I have no doubt, seditious conspiracy will be charged in many cases but gathering the evidence takes a little time. These current charges are easily proveable and serve to get the perps into the justice system while the former happens.
