Let's not forget other January 6ers:
David Daniel, convicted of assaulting a police officer now charged with child pornography and sexual exploitation of minors.
Andrew Taake, convicted of assaulting police officers, now charged with solicitation of a minor.

Hmmm, do we see a pattern, here?

I think it's too serious...and, they should be looking at this master thief. (sound up)

I'm glad you realized it was satire. Some people were reporting it as real. Even lines like:

She has just the kind of qualifications you'd expect for one of Trump's US Attorneys: She represented Trump a few times, but basically worked in insurance law. Is this the usual sort of background for the US Attorney for the Southern District of Virginia? NOOOO.

I know! And Richard Nixon, himself, was a very intelligent man, while Trump, as @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com always says, is the dumbest President in history.
