Failed insurrection aside, Biden is going to be president in two weeks. What does it mean for tech policy?

Re: Rent a mob

This is a RENT-a-mob. Organized, paid for, coordinated, criminal intimidation mob.

Yep. Unarguably.

The only question going is who is funding and controlling the mobs, and what their agenda is. I suspect that if somebody was sufficiently enthusiastic to trace the funds back to source they wouldn't originate in the country.

Now typically the problem is that each political party wants to protect it's own politcal rent a mobs, however at the moment the republicans are disclaiming that the attack on congress is actually their work, claiming that professional rioters instigated it so for once neither political party in the US has any interest in obstructing any investigation or protecting "their" mob.

I'd take advantage of the situation and suggest arresting everybody identifiable involved; identify the provocateurs paid by foreign agents and throw the entire law book at them from money laundering to treason while the rare moment of political unity exists.
