Since then, our government has tolerated a variety of low-browed, ridiculous and seditious men ranging from Colonel Oliver North to Michael Flynn.

According to federal numbers, more than 750 of them were sentenced for crimes ranging from trespassing to assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy.

Instead, they were convicted of seditious conspiracy and other felonies for organising the melee.

A repeat of the seditious activities of Jan. 6, at least, does not appear in the offing, no matter how much Trumpov would like it to be so.

Seven employees were arrested and accused of a "conspiracy to publish seditious publications", which included interviews with pro-democracy activists.
