Politicians really mean what they say... 

January 6, 2021 tweet from U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) that reads, “Those who made this attack on our government need to be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Their actions are repugnant to democracy.”

He also posted two tweets from now-Speaker of the House Mike Johnson that read: “I unambiguously condemn in the strongest possible terms any and all forms of violent protest. Any individual who committed violence today should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” and, “It is beyond time to remember that while we may disagree, we are all Americans, and there is far more that unites us than divides us. I extend my deepest thanks to the United States Capitol Police for protecting the Capitol complex today and all days.”

U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) had written, “These actions at the US Capitol by protestors are truly despicable and unacceptable. While I am safe and sheltering in place, these protests are prohibiting us from doing our constitutional duty. I condemn them in the strongest possible terms. We are a nation of laws.”

U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) wrote, “This violence and destruction have no place in our republic. It must end now.”

The problem is not that the federal government went after violent protestors - they prosecuted simple trespassers on obstruction of Congress charges. That's not my opinion, it is the opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Over 40 protesters could not afford private lawyers and were represented by one DC public defender. All of them pled guilty.

Ashli Babbitt was denied access to any lawyer because she was murdered in cold blood. She was the only person who died that day and her killer was never charged.
