Worry.  Worry.  This story is not over.  Conspiracy terrorism continues, as do prosecutions and convictions.  An Idaho man — Josiah Colt who traveled to DC to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, was sentenced yesterday to only 15 months in prison because he had turned himself in after six days and then helped the prosecution identify more of the insurrectionists. Colt was first, or one of the first, to break the Capitol glass and enter.  Readers will remember him because he was photographed hanging from a West-side balcony with one arm.
