Well, they haven't been brought to justice yet. Let's not jump the gun.[W]e should not overlook the effective actions [AG Merrick] Garland has taken around Jan. 6. He quickly directed prosecutors to bring to justice every participant in that day’s Capitol invasion against whom there was proof beyond a reasonable doubt of guilt. More than 960 have been charged, more than 450 convicted.
They include two Oath Keepers convicted of seditious conspiracy, a crime not successfully prosecuted in a generation. Other members of that group and the far right Proud Boys are currently on trial for the same crime.
By any standard, it is an impressive body of work.
As to focusing on the man atop the apparent Jan. 6 conspiracy, regardless of whether one thinks that Garland waited too long, no one should lose sight of this tangible proof of the resilience of our government system: Congress, via Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) appointment of an extraordinarily capable bipartisan committee, stepped in and made it a priority to ensure that America had the evidence of Trump’s attempted coup.
Now, in Garland’s November action appointing [Speical Prosecutor Jack] Smith, we plainly have a prosecutor moving aggressively toward a moment of truth when wrong doers at the top will be brought to justice. We can thank the committee, and Congress’s place in our constitution, for helping ensure that the rule of law endures.

Also...the pipe bomber still hasn't been found.
