How come you never complained when democrats pardoned all their blm rioters?

Riots are generally State rights issues, even in DC that has significant devolved powers. Up to the states how to deal with riots.

Jan 6th was an attack on the Federation.

Nonsense. Dc doesnt get special treatment for being a different class of beurocrat in any sane interpretation.

The riots were organized by an organization that spread across state lines. That makes it a federal issue, jergul.

Of course it does. Your system trends towards federalism, so even federal territories have some state like powers devolved from the Federal government.

The federal government would still have no right to issue pardons outside of DC, even if what you said was true. Pardons are a state affair.

Who even cares what level it was at? Federal, state, local...riots are riots.

Not the point and you know it.

Do state Democrats get a free pass for not prosecuting rioters because they're not operating at the federal level? That seems to be your gist.

Because they didn't.

Depends on the environment in the States. Not all civil disobedience can or should be prosecuted.

It was a very light attempt at a Revolution of Dignity.
