The federal government's orchestrated "shock and awe" campaign against the Jan. 6 protesters is over, with President Trump's pardon or sentence commutations for some 1,500 or 1,600 people targeted by Washington.
But it may be rebounding against the FBI and other agencies that participated.
"The shock may be gone for these defendants, but it may only be beginning for the Justice Department and the FBI," warned constitutional expert Jonathan Turley.
The federal government essentially had admitted it wanted to scare and intimidate Americans after those protesters gathered in Washington on that day and objected to what they viewed as a skewed president election.
Evidence later confirmed their concerns, as the $400 million plus that Mark Zuckerberg handed out to election officials who often used it to recruit Democrat voters was revealed as an undue influence.
Further was the undue influence of the FBI's decision to interfere with the results. That bureau claimed, falsely, that the Biden family scandals uncovered in the laptop computer Hunter Biden abandoned were Russian disinformation, when they all were true.
But while most of the protesters simply walked into the Capitol building and later left, some acted on their rage, vandalizing and even physically confronting police and security.
The government responded with a campaign to scare as many Americans as it could.
