WASHINGTON - Aided by citizen sleuths who keep identifying Jan. 6 rioters, the Justice Department is finding that it has more cases than lawyers to prosecute them.
Fifteen months after a mob stormed the Capitol in support of then-President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, more than 775 defendants have been arrested. More than 225 have pleaded guilty so far, and two have been convicted at trial: one by a jury and one by a judge. More than 50 have been sentenced to prison.
That leaves more than 500 active cases that still need to be resolved, either by plea deal or trial.
The Justice Department is asking Congress for additional funds to prosecute those cases - a list that keeps growing.
And even as the Justice Department closes in on the 800 arrest mark, there's still an incredibly long road ahead. Multiple online sleuths in a network of “Sedition Hunters” working to find Jan. 6 participants have told NBC News that they've successfully identified to the FBI hundreds of additional Jan. 6 rioters - including dozens who are pictured on the FBI's Capitol Violence website.
“There are hundreds still to go,” said one online sleuth closely involved in the investigation, speaking anonymously to avoid retaliation from supporters of the rioters.
Some of the Jan. 6 participants who haven't been arrested were successfully identified months ago using open-source information publicly available on the internet - like public records, social media and internet photos.

Keep watching the video below showing cops opening the gate to 6 Jan people.
Convictions don’t matter, they want to charge many and drain their bank accounts by causing legal fees. It’s known as lawfare.
The fbi is the criminal organization.
Just turn the phone off. Without a source of energy nothing happens. If you are really worried take the battery out.
The FBI is corrupt, the DOJ is corrupt. Our country is suffering because the DOJ and FBI are corrupt... Joe Biden did not get 81 million votes. We are all suffering because the FBI and DOJ are corrupt. And the FBI and DOJ know it. Sadly we are now in a position that we have to figure a way out of it for a totally corrupt DOJ and FBI to save face while being held accountable. Ain’t that a bitch... The most evil people on earth have corrupted our most critical institutions and no one is trusted. Thanks Obama... you are a pro.
Why didn’t the article mention the scores, if not hundreds of peaceful protesters who rot in DC jails for probably minor charges if any?
Look who wrote the hit piece. Then you will have your answer.
The FBI and DOJ are the true American Skinhead Nazi Gestapos. Too afraid to go after the BLM rioters. The race cards scare the crap out of the boys. LOL. COWARDS!!! They are more comfortable going after whitey.
LOL! I love the way you think. Heh.
“Citizen sleuths” are like the ‘RATS like Soros who turned on the people and joined the Nazis.
Hundreds more rioters? A lie. There were probably between 100 and 200 actual rioters to begin with. They are now calling anyone who was in the vicinity a “rioter.”
It’s why whore houses have a massages sign on the building hide the truth.
Even the Russian KGB would be aghast! at what the democrats are doing and why the republicans are doing nothing to stop it.
