WASHINGTON — A man featured on the FBI's website — wanted for assaulting police at the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack — died months ago. Now the bureau has to figure out what to do about those photos.
In the year since the Jan. 6 investigation began, the FBI has posted images of more than 500 individuals on its U.S. Capitol Violence webpage. More than 350 of those included on the page still haven't been arrested, including dozens who have been successfully identified by online sleuths.
The website typically labels those who have been locked up as arrested. But the FBI has, in some cases, removed images from the database of individuals who haven't been arrested, sparking conspiracy theories from supporters of former President Donald Trump who are trying to paint Jan. 6 not as an attack perpetrated by Trump enthusiasts who believed Trump's claims about a stolen election but as a "false flag" event set up by "agent provocateurs."
“If we don’t prosecute them, we can’t talk about it. We’re not going to talk about that person,” said one law enforcement official. “That puts us in a tough place.”
That's something that the FBI will have to weigh when deciding what to do about the suspect who still appears on its website with the label "AFO," meaning assault on federal officer. The FBI received a tip about the suspect months ago, not long before his unexpected death over the summer. But removing his image from the website now could spark additional conspiracy theories that could only be resolved through public identification, which would set off a fresh round of pain for a family still recovering from its loss.

How about take responsibility?
linky no loady...
swirly beachball...
You mean the FBI has to conspire.
Not “prep for conspiracies.”
Works for me.
Here it is again.
Still just the swirly beachball.
Must be me and my browser...

Meanwhile, our southern borders are near non-existent.
Anybody from anywhere could be waltzing into our country and demanding benefits, just like those Social Workers have trained these illegals to do.
Thanks, that worked.
Anyone who has even a cursory understanding of 20th Century history could legitimately replace FBI with Stasi, KGB.
I a sick and twisted way, when nations justifiably accuse China with large scale human rights abuses, China can now justifiably accuse them of human rights abuses, as we have now wiped out hundreds of thousands in the name of CV19, (while we in reality used CV19 to cut off most medical care for other illnesses and treatments).
Worse, leftists on our side of the pond worked with Chinese (leftists) Communists to create the virus used to wipe out population, and ultimately whatever was left of economy.
Hey Jo, that train left the station a long time ago.
So they murdered someone.
I have been revisiting the Star Wars films with my teenage son, who seems to have gotten a new appreciation for them, from when he was little. While watching them, I realized that what happened in those stories, though science fantasy, is happening in the real world. A republic, morphing into an evil empire, right before our eyes.
Even Putin has criticized US abuse of the J6 political prisoners.
It’s becoming more evident everyday that US has one of the worst and corrupt legal systems on the planet. Elites and their protected groups skate and the peasants are punished
Eventually we have to come down to accepting that things will only get worse until and unless the federal government implodes. Otherwise will are heading for a police state as bad as Nazi Germany.
The only thing the FBI needs to prep for is the entire disgusting mess brought to light and being held responsible for it.
People who tell the truth don’t worry about being called liars.
An article published only to obfuscate the Ray Epps issue.
They will make up something about you, then when you dispute it they will call you a liar.
