    Sedition Hunters book cover

    Sedition Hunters: How January 6th Broke the Justice System by Ryan J. Reilly Genres: History, Non-Fiction Original Publication Date: 2023 Source: I purchased this book Goodreads Find the Author: Goodreads, Amazon Sedition Hunters: The attack on the Capitol building following the 2020 election was an extraordinarily large and brazen crime.
