the only individual who hasn't been guilty of seditious conspiracy is an individual named dominic pazolla. he is the person we see in the famous video. it shows him bashing in the window to the capitol with a stolen police shield repeatedly and banging against that window and causing it to shatter. that's the case that jurors are taking up. he has convicted on a number of other counts that basically give him the same criminal exposure. the jury just can't come to a conclusion on whether he is guilty of seditious conspiracy. there's not a lot of communication between him and these other members as much as there was some of the other members who were convicted. dominic joined very late in the game, not that many weeks before january 6. whether or not he was part of the seditious conspiracy is something that there is some disagreement with the jurors with. the headline is, this is a big victory for the justice department in one of their landmark cases in the sprawling investigation into the january 6 attack on the u.s. capitol. >> andrew weissmann,spiracy was challenging to prove. after that
