It seems pretty standard for political prosecutions like this to convict for an absurd timeframe, but always early into the next opposition government they will all get pardons.

It is therefore a ~2 year prison term.

Both sides do it to the other.

I can't imagine "both side'sing" the situation in the United States right now. The country has been taken over by a criminally corrupt, sick individual, who given his responsibility w.r.t Jan 6th isn't even eligible for the office he holds - the country is collapsing.

		And thankfully this individual was displaced by Donald J Trump who is now working hard to make America great.

What? That's pretty bad guarantee. The fact that Trump releases his friends has nothing to do with what should his opposition do. If anything respecting acts of former governments should be the norm.

Biden pardoned plenty too

		Please give me a few examples of the most egregious crimes Biden pardoned, for context. I want to make sure we're comparing apples with apples, and I don't want to make assumptions about what you might have had in mind.

		Sorry what now, what equivalent pardons did Biden issue compared to anything like this or the J6ers, to the many who suddenly became pardoned before/after donating money to trump affiliated projects/PACs?

Top tier copium. The fascists are making it unsafe to not be Nazis and you shrug, both sides.

... but also, you probably want the Trump clan to rule, forever.
