Why wasnt he charged? Give me a single rational explanation.
Discussion
because he didn't go into the capital?
Grok:
1. How many January 6 defendants spent time in prison?
- ~700–750 people were sentenced to incarceration (prison or jail time). This includes those convicted of nonviolent entry (often short sentences, ~60 days) and violent offenses (up to 22 years).
2. How many were charged but did not enter restricted areas?
- ~150–400 defendants were charged but not specifically for entering the Capitol or restricted grounds.
- Total charged: ~1,570–1,583.
- Charged with entering restricted areas: ~1,186–1,417.
- Difference (~150–400) includes those charged for actions outside the Capitol (e.g., planning, incitement, or aiding without physical entry).
Notes: Data comes from DOJ records and reports (e.g., PBS, NPR). Most convictions (~99%) were via guilty pleas. All convictions were pardoned or commuted on January 20, 2025, except for 14 commuted sentences.
There where probably lots of people that entered and didn't get charged. Shotgun enforcement by on the ground officers. I don't think this has the implications your saying it does. What about nicks message do you find that glows?
"Break down the barriers and disregard the Police!!" <—❗️❗️❗️
There were people charged that weren’t even there that day.
Fishy
Grok:
1. How many January 6 defendants were charged but weren't physically at the event?
- Approximately 100–150 people were charged for involvement without being physically present at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. These cases typically involved remote actions like online planning, incitement, threats, or aiding/abetting from afar (e.g., conspiracy charges under 18 U.S.C. § 371 or threats against officials).
- Examples include individuals coordinating via social media or phone without traveling to D.C., such as some associates of extremist groups who helped organize but stayed home.
- Total charged: ~1,570–1,583. Most (~98–99%) were for on-site actions (e.g., ~1,417 for entering restricted areas or ~608 for assaulting officers). The remainder (100–150) fits remote roles, based on DOJ breakdowns and analyses excluding physical presence.
Notes: Data from U.S. Department of Justice updates, NPR's case database, and Wikipedia summaries of proceedings. All cases were pardoned or dismissed post-2025, but figures reflect pre-pardon status. Exact remote counts aren't officially tallied, but estimates derive from charge distributions (e.g., non-entry/non-assault felonies).
Yeah but how many Patriot Front Members were there!!! Probably a few :)
Was there ever ANY video of the trials or from prison? Could have just been a bunch of paper nonsense. Wouldn’t be the first trial?
You ever been down Waco? The granddaddy of staged events since the Cold War
*wouldn’t be the first fake trial
Why do you use grok?
He was subpoenaed by the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6.
In January 2022, the Committee issued subpoenas to Nick Fuentes (and Patrick Casey) over their promotion of election-fraud conspiracy theories, their role in planning pro-Trump rallies that preceded the Capitol attack, and large Bitcoin donations they received prior to Jan. 6. (Sources: VICE, Business Insider, Politico)
The subpoena asked whether the funds they got were tied to organizing or facilitating events related to Jan. 6. (Source: Business Insider)
He was on Capitol grounds that day.
Fuentes did not enter the Capitol building as far as public evidence indicates—he was present outside, on the grounds. (Sources: Wikipedia, Politico)
He celebrated the attack afterward.
For example, he tweeted: “The Capitol Siege was fucking awesome and I’m not going to pretend it wasn’t.” (Sources: Just Security, VICE)
He remains under investigation.
According to reports, Fuentes is under scrutiny by the FBI and/or DOJ regarding whether the Bitcoin donations he received were tied to illegal activities connected to Jan. 6 or its lead-up. (Source: Business Insider)
The Jan. 6 Committee has also described that his assets and he remain under investigation.
