Evidently the terrorism add-on is a wild card, and also a key factor being that the materials were made of paper?!? They made the comparison to J6'ers, who of course destroyed papers, including those belong to congresspeople, as well as their pathetic attempts to delete the incriminating evidence they themselves posted.

We'll see how it goes, but based on how the one-sided war has gone so far, they seem to be winning. Judges can have their say, until either an appeal goes in favor of the trumpists, or it gets to the SC, where Shadow Docket and Stall go trump's way.
