When you mentioned the 3rd anniversary of J6 I immediately thought, what is the statute of limitations. I should ask Jamie. Then since I was on the internet I googled it instead. Take the day off today and spend some time with your family. I got this. “ The statute of limitations for most federal crimes is five years, meaning most Capitol attack defendants would have to be charged by Jan. 6, 2026.”
I would add one caveat to your research. The real statute of limitations might expire at 12 noon on January 20, 2025 - if Donald Trump wins the White House. One would expect most of those J6 defendants to be pardoned by Trump.
I'm impressed you linked that page in the 600-page defense bill dealing with Radio Free Africa and Radio Free Americas. As a ham radio buff you must run a word search for "radio" on documents like that just in case something like that is tucked away somewhere.
It occurred to me that those two programs could be valuable assets addressing the challenge of migration from the global South to both Europe and North America. Wide-spread accurate information might not stop the flow but it would definitely make the trip safer and better coordinated. People from other countries could apply for schools, employment or relocation in America with family or sponsors. Properly-staffed, well-trained immigration specialists in US embassies would save huge costs for both applicants and officials and those "Radio Free" channels would be a valuable resource.
The Radio Free Africa and Radio Free Americas idea may have political motives. In the 1990s, Asian-Americans said: European-Americans have their Radio Free Europe; we should have our Radio Free Asia. And so Radio Free Asia and the already-existing Voice of America began duplicating each other's news coverage of Asia. The new Radio Free stations would be a similar play for the votes of African-American and Latinx voters, even though VOA is already active in those two regions, and more duplication would occur.
It's a really good question that doesn't seem to have a good answer. You would think that they might want to put pressure on Democrats by calling on Menendez to resign, or be expelled. Instead, GOP Senators just sidestep the question when we ask, and say it's a problem for Democrats. While that's partially true, there wouldn't be anything wrong with them publicly dumping on Menendez. But they won't.

Why are republicans silent about Menedez?

Professional courtesy.
LOL
It sounds like Menendez has enough to cause trouble for Republican backers. It is funny that the Penn. Senator is the one criticizing him.
