5. From Lawfare: The courtroom stats for the January 6th rioters
Tue May 19, 2026, 12:29 PM
Tuesday
At least 1,583 have been arrested and 1,270 of those individuals—80 percent—have already been convicted. Of the 1,270 convicted, 1,009 pleaded guilty—64 percent of all arrested, and 79 percent of all convictions. Another 221 were found guilty at trial by juries or judges, and the remaining 40 were convicted after a hybrid procedure known as a “stipulated trial,” at which the defendant made factual concessions without admitting to their legal significance.

Of the total 1,583 arrested, according to the department’s figures, 608—or 38 percent—were charged with either assaulting or impeding federal police officers. Of those that assaulted officers, 174 were charged with an enhanced version of the crime for using deadly or dangerous weapons or for inflicting bodily harm on the officer
