A look at the guilty pleas so far sheds light on who the defendants are, what their goals were, how evidence is being gathered, and how prosecutors and judges are coping with the largest federal criminal...

After my post went live on Oct. 18, two significant developments occurred in the prospects of a contempt prosecution of Steve Bannon.

If the Jan. 6 Committee eliminates any potential claim of executive privilege, the challenges of prosecuting Bannon and other former executive branch officials may be facilitated.

Misdemeanor plea bargains may seem too lenient in a few cases, but it appears that the government is going to insist on guilty pleas to felony charges in some cases.

The Justice Department’s pursuit of criminal charges against the perpetrators of the Jan. 6 mob invasion of the Capitol is gathering steam, but it should resist using the seditious conspiracy statute.

It's time to take another look at the 2012 trial of the Hutaree militia.

Though the facts of precisely what happened at the Capitol are still coming to light, it seems likely that prosecutors could file felony murder charges against at least some of the rioters.
