Yes, there have been convictions under that charge. Assaulting a police officer is another felony charge that some Jan 6 folks have been convicted of.

I think the percentage of Republicans who believe the election was actually ''stolen" is quite small and the numbers are exaggerated by the media.

If no individual is ever convicted of (or even charged with) the crime of insurrection, at what point will it be appropriate to stop calling it an insurrection?

They always throw a butt load of charges at you to get you scared and plead to the lesser charges. 

***Lessons I learned while watching Law & Order

Not one of them have been convicted, they all pled guilty to get out of jail. The feds don't go to court unless they are sure they can win. They cannot win because of all the video that exists that shows them being let in. There is also precedent of all the liberals breaking in, sit in or whatever, etc and them either not being charged or get misdemeanor charges with no jail time.

The conviction is semantics but as long as they aren't dealing with felony stuff, they should be able to plead guilty without a conviction record. Not that it matters too much here but would if there are civil trial issues.

These people would all have been convicted in a trial if they could actually do it. They are just denying them bail, denying speedy trials, etc until they just give in and plead guilty.
