Jan 6 - How The Justice Department Betrayed The Nation

Over three years since that fateful day, shockingly few of the rioters have faced consequences; only a third have been apprehended, with only a fraction sentenced. Even more concerning, a mere half of those sentenced found themselves behind bars, often for an alarmingly short duration - a mere 60 days on average. These individuals, many of whom boasted prior criminal records, affiliations with extremist factions, and overt threats of violence against law enforcement and elected officials, were met not with the severity warranted by their actions, but with leniency.

This book delves deeply into the heart of this miscarriage of justice, laying bare the inner workings of the Justice Department. With unprecedented access to detailed research, it scrutinizes the rioters themselves, the actions of the Attorney General, the strategies employed by DOJ prosecutors, and the decisions rendered by judges. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on critical facets of this debacle that have remained obscured until now.

Comparative data meticulously juxtaposes the treatment of January 6th rioters with federal norms and arrest records from other pivotal moments of civil unrest, such as the Black Lives Matter protests. It dissects discrepancies in treatment based on gender, race, and other demographics, revealing disturbing patterns of bias. Through meticulous evaluation of judges' rulings, it pinpoints those who opted for leniency over the Department of Justice's recommendations and dissects the myriad influences shaping their decisions.

Furthermore, the book scrutinize the behavior of the Attorney General and DOJ prosecutors, illuminating the intricate dynamics at play behind the scenes of these courtroom dramas. By examining each element of this complex narrative, the book endeavors to not only uncover the failings of the past but to offer insights and projections that may guide us toward a future where such injustices are not repeated.

This book stands as a crucial exposé, a rallying cry for accountability, and a roadmap for ensuring that the events of January 6th serve as a stark lesson rather than a harbinger of future chaos.
