by "justice will be done" does she mean... arrests and prison? because that's what those people need.

[sidleypkhermit]

Yes, of course she does.

Let us hope that second part is true.

The FBI has set up a special online tip line asking members of the public to help identify people who committed federal crimes yesterday: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/07/us/fbi-tips-insurrection-riot-capitol-hill-trnd/index.html

There were “only” about 50 arrests made during the riots, with the focus being on clearing the angry mob of thousands away from the Capitol and securing the area.

That was *perfect*. People may not like Pelosi, but she's the most eloquent speaker we've ever had.

I love her. I got within a couple yards of her at SF Pride once and that was very exciting.
