Being a member of the "cult" requires one to look beyond criminal acts.

[kentuck]

Whatever crime was committed was done for a greater good. Their God works in strange and incomprehensible ways. It is a mystery to the rest of us.

That is why, regardless of the facts or evidence submitted, Trump supporters will never accept any indictment of Trump as legitimate.

But, that is their problem. That is not the problem of the majority of Americans or the American justice system. They must pursue justice without "fear or favor".

That is why, if Mr Trump is ever charged with a crime, no amount of screaming or threats should interfere with the process. Mr Trump should be treated as any other common citizen is treated under similar circumstances. Previous titles or positions of power should have no bearing when there is a question of whether or not a crime has been committed. That can only be resolved through our justice system and with a jury of our peers.

It is irrelevant whether a person is loved or blindly worshiped by his followers. The only thing that matters are the facts and the evidence.

That time is coming soon.

1. Glad you said "soon" and not "imminent."

Time can have a different meaning for different people.

When I was working in Santiago, Chile, a Chilean worker asked me if he could borrow my aluminum pipe wrench for 5 minutes. 2 days later I spied the worker and asked about my pipe wrench which he then returned. So in Chile 5 minutes relates to 2 days.

2. I think "soon" may be after the next general election?

Or after the primaries if Trump is defeated by another Republican. That does not appear likely at this time.

That may be the best of circumstances?

3. I am afraid

That the time for any "punishment" to have any real impact or really any effect whatsoever has passed.

4. Most of the time, memories of events fade and people tend to not remember them.

Unfortunately, the events surrounding January 6th never faded and never disappeared. The culprits and the prosecutors are both required to deal with it.

It is indicative of the importance and the historical significance of the event of January 6th, in my opinion.

5. I hope

You are correct but I think a lot of relatively "small fry" are paying for their crimes and the big fish are getting a pass.

[kentuck]

6. And many of the "small fry" got such lenient sentences...

...that they have returned to do it all over. They were convinced they were "patriots".

7. Yes

The end result is pretty sad, they actually attempted to overthrow the US government and are still out there ready to go at it again for their "hero"... And none of them really paying anything near the price for

[kentuck]

8. That seems to be the case...

The ones that were charged early seem to have gotten off with much softer sentences? The ones being charged lately have been getting pretty severe sentences.

[Timewas]

9. Charges

The latest ones are being charged with sedition. Much worse crime that simple illegal trespass and interfering with congress.
