Javed Ali, The National: "It has brought some measure of accountability to a large segment of the people who were part of the insurrection and perhaps in the moment thought that they would be able to get away with what they did on the criminal side or that there wouldn't be any repercussions. At that level, the DOJ effort has been successful."
