46. When someone says "no indictments", what I keep on saying proves them wrong 1000 times over.

Indictments are indictments.

But just to put things in perspective:

- 526 rioters convicted or pleaded guilty
- 49 received one or more years' sentences
- 41 received two or more years' sentences
- 13 received five or more years' sentences

This takes into account all the plea deals and probations, and it is still a damn record for a single DOJ investigation! And it's not over yet.

So saying most of those indictments were for misdemeanors doesn't belittle Garland's record one bit.
