A federal prosecutor, questioned about President Trump’s role in the Capitol riots, refused to rule out criminal charges.
Michael Sherwin, the acting U.S. Attorney for D.C., repeatedly assured reporters in a press call that he would investigate and charge “all actors” involved in Wednesday’s riot.
Journalists pressed Sherwin about Trump’s speech and what motivating factor it may have been in inciting supporters to storm the Capitol.
“I don’t want to sound like a broken record,” Sherwin said following a question specifically about the President.
“I’m going to stand by my earlier statement – we’re looking at all actors here, and anyone that had a role and the evidence fits the elements of a crime, they’re going to be charged.”
...
In September though, at the height of the Black Lives Matter riots across America that saw vandalism and arson at an exponentially greater degree, Sherwin dropped charges for all but one individual in his district.
In a letter to Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser, Sherwin advised that “facts and evidence will dictate criminal charges, not political leveraging or personal agenda.”

Let them try
Federal prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the President. Trump could simply fire him if he thought this was a credible threat.
No, you’re not. You would have to charge all of the people who stormed offices when the Kavanaugh hearings were going on. If you set up that hypocritical standard, it may cost you more than you want to pay. Watch what you say.

Well I guess since Trump represents us and we’re just gonna have to be thrown in prison with him all 75 million of us! Come and get us 👮♀️
It’s Mayor Bowser of Sha-Na-Na’s fault, for not having enough security personnel on-hand, and for the police letting the antifa/BLM filth into the building, right thru the doors. Indict the skank.
In other news, federal prosecutor is a sanctimonious horse’s patootie.
Yep.
Are you going to go after congressional Democrats that incited BLM riots all summer long and called for MORE violence and destruction!?
This is an outright injustice and America will not stand at this rate
A show trial for 2 or 3 years if the new administration?
I do believe the breach had already occurred before PDJT said anything that could be remotely construed as a call to storm the Capitol.
It they don’t charge him for this they will charge him with something else. Innocent of guilty; if you oppose the Deep State you are finished.
They really are in a panic.. once we get orders from our LEGAL President Donald J Trump then you can do what you like..
Oh.. do you have a country picked out for extradition for yourself ??
“Federal prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the President. Trump could simply fire him if he thought this was a credible threat.”
That is very well thought out.
Is he going to investigate Kamala Harris for her role in promoting the violent rioting this past summer?
Is she going to be impeached on the afternoon of January 20 and removed from office for inciting violence?
Is Nancy Pelosi going to be removed from office for her attempted coup in trying to get the nuclear codes from the Secretary of Defense? This action is far outside the parameters of the Constitution.
Asking for a friend.
Don’t miss what happened here.
It’s the “journalists” that are driving this.
