Planning/coordinating a rally/protest doesn't count as a crime, even if you don't like their politics.
Well, the FBI is on it, and they said explicitly they are looking for evidence of "seditious conspiracy." I'm sure they'll find some.

I don't use the term lightly, and I don't think *****footing around what happened on the 6th is all that helpful. Even the Joint Chiefs released a
statement calling it insurrection, and they do all they can to avoid appearing political. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, swims like a duck, well it's probably a duck. Just because you want to qualify it as "not a real insurrection" based on a personal set of criteria doesn't mean it wasn't a real insurrection.
At this point, it's more political to call it anything other than an insurrection than it is to call it what it was, an insurrection.
