On Friday, the U.S. Attorney’s office for Washington, D. C. quietly dropped all charges leveled against protesters arrested during President Donald Trump’s inauguration — a mere 532 days after they were captured blocking traffic and destroying public property.
The Daily Caller reports that of the 234 protesters arrested on January 21, 2017, around 200 were eventually charged. Twenty-one protesters pleaded guilty before trial, the Caller says, but “prosecutors failed to secure any convictions” for those protesters who chose to go to trial.
