Liberty, since you are #1 at finding sources see if you can find this. Tonight on Tucker Carlson one of his topics was the FBI has dropped charges on the 1-6-21 people except for a very few. The report says they FOUND NO EVIDENCE THERE WAS A PLANNED ATTACK ON THE CAPITAL BY TRUMP SUPPORTERS.

Tucker goes on to state it is very strange that the FBI would drop charges except for the fact it is WELL KNOWN THE FBI WAS INVOLVED WITH INSTAGATING THE FEW WHO DID ATTACK.

I tried to find an article but so far I haven’t found one.

Perhaps the FBI does not want to come up against a single January 6 defendant who stands his ground and won't plead guilty to a lesser charge. If you read the charges and the possible penalties, they are extreme even for people who just stood on the steps of the Capitol.

I would be surpirsed if any of the deplorables who were there on Jan. 6 knew of the many laws that they were breaking. We have all watched as Dem supporters have disrupted Congressional sessions and nothing happened to them. We watched as Antifa types burned, looted and assaulted all summer and nothing happened to them.

If a case goes to court, that defendent should be entitled to discovery, which, it is very possible, the FBI does not want to happen.

I’m not sure what part you wanted an article for, so I did a bit of all. Overkill, as it were. 😆

Here’s an article about the FBI found ‘little’ evidence that the Jan. 6 event was a coordinated attack.

Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.

“Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases,” said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. “Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages.”

I don’t see any indication in that article aboute charges being dropped. In fact, I saw news today that there’s an arrest warrant out for Infowars host Owen Shroyer for his activities on Jan. 6; he’ll be turning himself in on Monday. To me, that doesn’t sound like they’re going to be dropping charges on all but a few anytime soon.

This is a report Tucker did back in June, saying there are ‘unindicted co-conspirators’ which more than likely means FBI agents. This was specific about one of the Oath Keepers, I believe.

I didn’t realize that US Attorney’s Office for DC has a webpage for what it calls ‘Capitol Breach Cases’. You can see the charge for each person; case documents; location of arrest; case status including whether incarcerated or out on bond and court date info; and date entry last updated. I only see one case dismissed and that’s Christopher Kelly back in June. If charges are dismissed in the future, this site should indicate it.

And finally....I’m NOT suggesting that this website is fair and balanced or even conservative. In fact it’s described as left of center and progressive. However, they did an article analyzing Tucker’s article from June about the FBI being involved; some of what they say is intriguing if true. I’ve only skimmed the article; I haven’t read the documents in question myself to see what I think.

Let me know if I didn’t cover something or if you want more on a certain aspect. 🤓
