tell you to go next? attorney merrick garland today explaining that 150 misdemeanor cases have already been resolved related to people who took part in the january 6th attack on the capitol. those have already been resolved with defendants pleading guilty. he said 17 felony defendants are already scheduled for trial. more than 300 other people today stand indicted on felony charges. he s laying all that out, as you just heard there, to make the case that small fry defendants always go first, that s on purpose. people who do less overtly obvious crimes come first because the more easily prosecuted stuff often provides evidence you can use in other cases. helpful. but still, the basic question remains, is he only talking about crimes that were physically committed at the u.s. capitol building on january 6th between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and dinner time that day a year
