Scott MacFarlane: Congress and Staff Are Still on Edge About the Prospect of Violence in the Capitol

EXCERPT:

MacFARLANE: "Yes. And note the increased security some members of Congress have had to take or get because of the talk in recent weeks, in recent months, and threats against their lives. I will say something else. The defendants in court from January 6, when it's time to go ask for leniency, go to sentencing, plead for the mercy of the court, are still so muted in their criticism of Donald Trump and, in some cases, still denying the integrity of the 2020 election. The judges and some of the people involved will say, that's why they're so concerned about more violence. Even defendants on their day of reckoning are still critical."
