two choice paragraphs of that specifically:

Due to the wide variety of behavior, some federal officials have argued internally that those people who are known only to have committed unlawful entry and were not engaged in violent, threatening or destructive behavior should not be charged, according to people familiar with the discussions.

But even as Justice Department officials look to bring those types of cases, they privately acknowledge those more determined and dangerous individuals may have operated within a broader sea of people who rushed through the doors but didnt do much else, and prosecutors will ultimately have to decide if all of those lesser offenders should be charged.

article gets into the specifics a lot more and the reality of it all, from clogging up the court to defenses that can be mounted and result in likely losses for the state, to pleas that can be made, etc. it's much longer than those two and breaks things down well. focus right now is getting the people who actually matter, then the people who actually did something, and then... you're left with the debate of the randos, which this article's about.
