First, let me start I have a genuine fear that Trump will pardon the named Insurrectionists specifically and may even grant a blanket pardon for all of them. Although given the serious nature of these seditious crimes, the President's right to an absolute pardon might be challenged.

*Assuming the above does not happen, here is my view:

  1. All identified should be charged with the most serious crimes possible. Not just silly unlawful entry crimes.
  2. Co-conspirators should be charged, including family and friend who had reasonable indications that of someone's intent regarding these crimes, even if tens of thousands must be investigated and prosecuted.
  3. They should be forced to pay restitution for damages.
  4. After serving sentences, they should permanently be considered a terrorist threat, and treated as such, for example being placed on no-fly lists (I think this already may be happening), electronic monitoring, not being granted passports...
  5. Even those not convicted of a crime should be subject to #4.
  6. Where applicable, States should consider other charges.
Any other ideas besides plugging in Old Sparky?

*The reason I think Trump will not pardon this rabble is that he fears being prosecuted for doing so and Trump never, ever cares about anyone but himself.
