Ooo, that will require some collating. Small bits at a glance: Well, Pence was reportedly angry back then, being fresh from the turmoil. Some Republicans seem actually distraught, and Murkowski said she might leave Trump’s party? Eric Swalwell sued the Trumps, Rudy, and some others for the insurrection. No idea how that turned out. And from my research. the first person was arrested on Jan 6th, which is pretty quick work. ---

One has to wonder whether some of the folks swept up in the dragnet, having seen the consequences and come to their senses, have bought their way out of trouble by turning in others. ---

I assume the prosecutors are routinely showing photos of unidentified rioters to those they indict and offering to shave months off their sentences in exchange for successful identifications. ---
