See how saying one thing and then doing the opposite makes them moot?
Try and focus, denial bot.

Any that were made and then waived, like:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/almost-half-of-federal-cases-against-portland-rioters-have-been-dismissed-11618501979
Federal prosecutors in Portland, Ore., have moved to dismiss almost half
the cases they charged in connection with violence accompanying last
yearâs protests over racial injustice, as authorities grapple with how
to tamp down politically motivated unrest that has arisen since then.
Of 96 cases the U.S. attorneyâs office in Portland filed last year
charging protesters with federal crimes, including assaulting federal
officers, civil disorder, and failing to obey, prosecutors have dropped
47 of them, government documents show. Ten people have pleaded guilty to
related charges and two were ordered detained pending trial. None have
gone to trial.

Schmidt introduced a new policy Tuesday that will result in dropping a
significant portion of the more than 500 protester cases brought over
the course of the demonstrations.
To help people avoid the repercussions of having an arrest record, Lewis
and Clark Law School students are going to work with the Multnomah
County District Attorneyâs Office to make sure people who are eligible
know how to expunge their records.

Indeed, most suspects have had their charges dropped or dismissed, some
as soon as the day after their arrest. As of October 5, charges had been
dropped in around 90% of the cases stemming from Septemberâs protest
activity.

Charges have been dismissed against 58 of the 97 people arrested during
the unrest last year
Between May 25 and Oct. 7, the U.S. Attorneyâs Office in Oregon filed
federal charges against 97 people connected to the Portland unrest.
Since then 58 of those cases have either been dismissed outright or are
on track for dismissal through a deferred resolution agreement.
Thirty-two cases are still pending, with many likely to also end in
dismissal according to sources.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/dec/30/eva-warner-portland-antifa-rioter-has-charges-drop/
A federal court has dropped its case against a Portland Antifa rioter
accused of assaulting police officers, letting the defendant go in
exchange for doing 30 hours of community service.
Eva Warner, a 26-year-old transgender woman from Beaverton, Oregon, was
arrested by Portland police on three separate occasions for rioting. She
was released without bail each time, according to multiple reports.
On one occasion the police said she pointed a high-power laser at
officersâ eyes as they were attempting to disburse a crowd during a riot
in August 2020.
She fought with the police during the arrest, according to the police.
Ms. Warner was taken into by U.S. Marshals and charged with felony civil
disorder in September of last year amid a federal investigation.
Last week, acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, Scott Erik
Asphaug, filed a motion to dismiss Ms. Warnerâs charges noting that she
had performed â30 hours of community serviceâ as part of a Deferred
Resolution Agreement, according to court documents.
