More than 840 people have been arrested for storming the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, with charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to assault.

But 17 months after the attempted insurrection, a significant number of rioters are still awaiting their sentencing.

This is deceit through deliberately misleading terminology. To say they await "sentencing" dishonestly implies they have been tried and convicted. The vast majority are not even CHARGED - much less tried and convicted.

So, in the very SECOND sentence of your fluff piece, we get really clear, really quick that this is an AGENDA piece - and the agenda is to make it seem perfectly reasonable to hold American citizens without charges.

Only around a quarter of those arrested—185 individuals—have received criminal sentences,

The honest terminology here is TRIALS, not sentences. Only a quarter have received TRIALS. Or been CHARGED. So they are being held illegally.

while the rest are waiting for their trials or haven’t yet reached plea agreements.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 80 defendants were sentenced to periods of incarceration, with longer prison terms for those who engaged in violence or threats. So far, the median prison sentence for the Jan. 6 rioters is 45 days.

So 655 people are languishing without due process over crimes that are netting a median sentence of 45 days? And that's just the ones who even GOT jail time - many were "guilty" of such minor offenses that they didn't even get THAT.

And the fluff piece says "prison." NO ONE goes to PRISON for 45 days. That's jail time, not prison time. It's MISDEMEANOR time.

An additional 57 rioters have been sentenced to periods of home detention, while most sentences have included fines, community service and probation for low-level offenses like illegally parading or demonstrating in the Capitol, which is a misdemeanor.

Hundreds of additional cases are expected to be adjudicated in the coming months, with a number of sentencing hearings already on the calendar this fall.

Your fluff piece does not vindicate law enforcement's record in the Jan-6 show trials. Not even close. If this is the best cover up you've got, the fact that you bit on it, and expect us to, shows how retarded you are.

What this fluff piece makes clear is that the sensationalism the media has brought is utterly refuted by the trivial charges and sentences the government is able to cobble together out of the straw man that was the January 6 peaceful protest. Well, MOSTLY peaceful, except for the violence done by police against unarmed peaceful demonstrators.

Perhaps if they had burned buildings and killed cops, your media would treat them with kid gloves.
