How many of these law-breaking mob are looking for lawyers?

I would think they might have awakened this morning with a realization that they were in deep shit?

They may not get a pardon? They may go to prison and have "Tiny" as their cell inmate?

I get the feeling attorneys are going to be very busy for the next few days and weeks?

I suppose they might claim "temporary insanity"?

I doubt that they are thinking of the next rally for Donald Trump?

Unless they want to go the public defender route, they will need lawyers in both their home state and in DC federal courts where the trials will likely be held.

They may get called before grand juries. They may have to make appearances. They can try to cop a plea, but prosecutors won't be that lenient unless these were just people who waltzed in after the doors were open, looked around the lobby/rotunda, and left.

Even if they just take a public defender and plead, the fines will surely break them and they will be felons forever.

And I couldn't care more that it happens.
