WHAT??!! January 6th insurrectionists expect a pity party? SHEESH!

 
Headline:  New York Times, 1/5/2026

Alan Feuer and Dan Barry report on the January 6th crybaby insurrectionists:
In the five years since the Capitol was stormed, no new facts have emerged to undermine the basic findings of congressional and Justice Department investigators that many of the rioters acted in the misguided belief, pushed relentlessly by Mr. Trump, that he had been robbed of victory in 2020 — and that in attacking the Capitol they not only injured about 140 police officers but also struck at a cornerstone of American democracy: the peaceful transfer of presidential power. 
Even so, Mr. Trump has long maintained that the rioters endured horrible, even illegal, mistreatment during their prosecutions. And yet if that is true, some pardoned rioters are now asking, then why haven’t their persecutors been thrown in jail? 
And if the rioters are mrtyrs to a righteous cause, as the president and his allies have often said, then why haven’t they been made whole through financial reparations?
