That fits. President Biden takes law and order seriously. He doesn't interfere with the police or with the courts.
.... Much chatter preceded the Capitol Putsch, and much less of it preceded today's fizzle. The large number of arrests relating to the Capitol Putsch may have given cold feet to many who believe much the same as the January Putschists. People are facing long prison terms for some deeds. ADX Florence might have some more guests after some of the convictions for some of the most egregious offenses. Spouses and children may have been telling imaginable participants to stay clear of Washington DC.
The message on parts of the Right was that that the demonstration would be a honey trap.
