FBI and Department of Justice officials are currently considering whether or not to let a big section of the mob that attacked the Capitol Building on Jan 6 off the hook. Despite the participation of thousands in the assault, including approximately 800 who authorities say rampaged inside the building itself, law enforcement has only charged 135 people so far.
