The problem with fighting the government is that they have unlimited resources. The average Capitol tourist has already been bankrupted, family destroyed, etc. They simply can't fight the DOJ as they don't have the millions in legal fees it would require.
Maybe this weekend I'll get a few beers in me and get my typy-fingers flying.

Probably didn't help Chansley that he apparently had less-than-stellar representation who talked him into a plea deal before defense counsels were getting the evidence, and one that waived his appeal rights at that. (Didn't know you could do that, but then the government system says a 3rd party can waive your liability so...)
