I would point out that Biden actually is doing what Trump did here. You might not have noticed but the article you link to says that these people were already being let go under Trump. I do think that for those that were not peaceful should face consequences for their actions. It is refreshing to not have a President call them “special people” “that we love” anymore. Than again I hate fascists and love democracy. We have different principles and values I guess.
You're a cultural marxist zealot, who is aiding your Democrat-Bolshevik party in overthrowing the Constitutional checks and balances of our government, to establish authoritarian one-party rule over the U.S. And you seem to fully endorse any kind of weaponization of our federal government to purge or even imprison Republicans on made-up charges.
While simultaneously not prosecuting people who are clearly guilty crimes, such as Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Kevin Clinesmith, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Joe and Hunter Biden. And the 7 who plotted the framing and malicious prosecution of Michael Flynn on Jan 5 2017 in the Oval Office: Barack Obama, Joe Biden (who suggested it!), James Clapper, John Brennan, James Comey, Susan Rice, and if I recall, then chief of staff Denis McDonough, as well as Peter Strzok and others in the FBI who carried out their plan to frame Flynn. Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, who destroyed evidence and obstructed justice, among other offenses. Lois Lerner and John Koskinen, who weaponized the IRS against Tea Party Groups and other conservatives to rig the 2012 election on Obama's orders. For openers.
The latest FBI midnight raid to intimidate Rudy Giuliani is just proving that the authoritarianism, intimdation and federal abuse of power hasn't diminished the slightest bit under Joe Biden's presidency. Although a former U.S. attorney is not likely to be intimidated. That dog and pony show was to intimidate 2024 Trump supporters, and Trump political and financial campaign supporters.

... I get two impressions: 1) under A G William Barr, they were not seeing evidence of knowledge by low-level defendants that they could use against the larger organization of Antifa, so they were willing to give them lesser charges and lighter sentences, proportionate to their less organized less connected crimes to Antifa 2) As the Biden DOJ was coming in and less interested in prosecuting them, without a 2nd Trump term, they didn't work as hard on those cases, since the incoming Biden DOJ team made them a lesser prioriity and woudl have let them go anyway, no matter how hard the outgoing team worked to convict them. Attorney General Merrick Garland, revealing himself to be a political zealot, has made it clear his priority is malicious prosecution and "making an example" of Trump supporters who did next to nothing on Jan 6 2021. They have inflated the investigations from 280 (almost all nonviolent "trespass" charges) pushing it up to 400. Some of whom (the "Quanon Shaman" guy for example) who did nothing resembling a violent crime, and yet was kept in prison for months. While BLM/ANtifaa leader John Earle Sullivan WHO LED VIOLENCE, AND GOT ASHLI BABBITT KILLED, DELIBERATELY PROVOKING VIOLENCE, ON VIDEO NO LESS, political hack Merrick Garland doesn't make a priority of prosecuting, AND LETS OUT ON HOUSE ARREST, TO CONTINUE SPREADING HIS POISON ON SOCIAL MEDIA. But Quanon Shaman guy and the Texas real estate lady who only walked inside the Capitol are kept in jail for months. While violent BLM criminals are given probation and community service.
Beyond that, the big thing is, whether strictly enforced or not the THREAT of long sentences mandated by Trump was an instant deterrent to further attacks on federal offices and monuments, that instantly stopped these crimes, regardless or not of actual prosecution months or years later. But now Biden has eliminated those severe penalties, which as I said above, like the flood of illegals at the southern border, Biden has similarly invited a new wave of attacks on federal buildings and monuments.
