I would much rather have the idiots from the January 6 "insurrection" show up at my house to attack me than the people that were looting and destroying parts of cites during the "peaceful protest" riots.

They're both being prosecuted.  There has been no double standard with regard to prosecuting individuals.

However, the earlier riots were not threats to the Republic  itself and do not merit any congressional investigation.

The Jan 6 riot was also an insurrection and also merits congressional investigation and no one should be calling it a mere "dustup".

Sorry, but that's a load of crap. Those people that got arrested for rioting and burning stuff were out of jail by the next day or so. People LITERALLY took over a part of a city and controlled who went in and out. That is not a threat to the Republic? Seriously? Nothing has or is going to happen to any/many of them of any consequence. If you think some idiots wondering around the buildings that many were actually let in are a realistic threat to the republic then it's not very strong to begin with. Now, if they showed up armed and forced their way in by bombing the building, that's a different story. If the current staff remain in office, we won't have to worry about this much anymore because our country will not last another leftist President, House, and Senate.
