In a shocking 2023 speech to law students, Judge James Boasberg — who ruled over many January 6th cases — openly admitted the law wasn’t harsh enough to punish defendants the way he wanted.
Boasberg:
“There’s a lot of law still to be made.”
He complained that no statute even made it a specific crime to “storm the Capitol and interfere with certification.”
Instead, many pled to “parading or picketing” misdemeanors, charges designed for loud protests — not what he wanted.
Translation: He wanted to invent new crimes after the fact to punish J6 defendants harder — clear judicial bias from the bench.
