    Today is the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, intended to keep Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election

    We have an attack on center of government intending to overthrow a lawful election and keep the losing candidate in power. We have intent of an insurrection, location of an insurrection, and targets to make it an insurrection. How does the ultimate success or failure, or the type of weapon change the crime?
