The High-Water Mark of the Jan. 6 Prosecutions -- Roger Parloff

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : Trump, who denies wrongdoing, has pledged to pardon a large, unspecified number of the Jan. 6 rioters, possibly as soon as the first hour of his new term....
44% : Trump was himself charged with four felonies in connection with his role in the events that led to and took place on Jan. 6, but Special Counsel Jack Smith dropped those charges without prejudice after Trump's election, in deference to longstanding policy -- rooted in the executive branch's interpretation of the Constitution -- barring prosecution of sitting presidents.
22% : On that date, the man whose election lies led to the Capitol siege, Donald Trump, will be sworn in as the 47th president.
13% : Trump is the man who summoned all of the arrested individuals to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021, and many defendants have said they believed they were serving Trump when they committed their crimes.
