There's something I've been thinking about.

We spend $9.5 billion annually on our FBI.

That's $9.5 billion taxpayer dollars dedicated to defending Americans against domestic threats.

But what sorts of threats?

This is Bruno Cua.

Bruno is an 18-year-old who is among the more than 250 people who have been charged with

breaching the Capitol building in January.

Bruno had been in federal custody in prison since February 6th of this year and was only

ordered to be released last week on March 16th and only after he contracted COVID-19.

That's over a month that a high school student sat in a prison cell awaiting his sentencing

because he had been refused bail.

But no, according to his arrest, after illegally entering the Capitol, the main thing that Bruno

did was sit in a chair.

Prosecutors alleged that on the way to that chair, while holding a baton, he shoved the police

officer something that all Americans, including myself, to be extra clear, strongly condemned.

Cua's parents made pleas on behalf of their son to be released.

But the pleas were flatly rejected.

Official citing social media posts would show that Cua went to the Capitol with the plan

to fight.

The reason I bring up Bruno as an example is not because he doesn't deserve any repercussions.

There should always be consequences for wrongdoing.

And of course, no one should illegally enter a building or physically confront an officer
