If you haven’t been following the near-daily deluge of new January 6 prosecutions — touted as the most far-reaching federal prosecutorial effort in US history, with at least 560 arrests — you might be unfamiliar with what the alleged violators are actually being charged with. “Existential threat” isn’t the phrase that would immediately come to mind in many instances.
Much to the delight of pundits and Democrats, these arrests continued even as the six-month anniversary commemorations were underway. One of the latest — executed today, July 9, 2021 — was of Matthew Purse, of Irvine, CA. Purse is alleged in the charging documents to have “entered the US Capitol at approximately 2:59 pm” on January 6. Upon entry, prosecutors allege that Purse “appeared to be standing off to the side, observing the crowd’s interactions with the law enforcement officers.” The complaint concludes that “PURSE exited the US Capitol at approximately 3:12 pm.”
That’s it. That’s the extent of the illegal activity alleged to have been committed by this individual on January 6. For the crime of being present within the US Capitol Building for a total of 13 minutes, Matthew Purse has been pursued by federal prosecutors for over six months, and now faces four separate charges and the prospect of prison time — not to mention the everlasting public scorn of a political and media establishment which declares that his actions somehow posed an “existential” threat to the Republic.
