The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed appeals seeking longer prison sentences for individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol attack. Four Proud Boys leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy received punishments significantly shorter than what prosecutors had recommended. The DOJ's move comes after Newsweek revealed the FBI's creation of a new 'MAGA' category of 'domestic extremist.' Prosecutors in the Proud Boys cases are also appealing for longer sentences. Judicial Watch's request for Jan 6 videos was opposed by the Biden DOJ, which was working with the McCarthy Congress. The appeals by the DOJ have sparked controversy, with critics arguing that 22 years in prison is not long enough for 'thought crimes'.
