Thirteen individuals have been charged so far in federal court in the District of Columbia related to crimes committed at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C, on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021. In addition to those who have been charged, additional complaints have been submitted and investigations are ongoing.
“The lawless destruction of the U.S. Capitol building was an attack against one of our Nation’s greatest institutions,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin. “My Office, along with our law enforcement partners at all levels, have been expeditiously working and leveraging every resource to identify, arrest, and begin prosecuting these individuals who took part in the brazen criminal acts at the U.S. Capitol. We are resolute in our commitment to holding accountable anyone responsible for these disgraceful criminal acts, and to anyone who might be considering engaging in or inciting violence in the coming weeks – know this: you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
“ATF is committed to the rule of law and the protection of all citizens’ Constitutional rights,” said Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Deputy Director Regina Lombardo. “We continue to support our law enforcement partners to ensure those who violated the law during the events at the Capitol this week are brought to justice. ATF has dedicated all appropriate resources to complete these investigations as soon as possible.”
“Today’s charges are just the beginning of the FBI’s ongoing efforts to hold those responsible for the criminal acts of violence and destruction that unfolded during the U.S. Capitol building breach on January 6th,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “To be clear, what took place that day was not First Amendment-protected activity, but rather an affront on our democracy. The FBI, along with our local, state and federal partners, is committed to ensuring that justice is served. We will continue to aggressively investigate each and every individual who chose to ignore the law and instead incite violence, destroy property, and injure others."
“Deputy U.S. Marshals responded to support U.S. Capitol Police after the incursion into the Capitol building. Our deputies helped to clear the building and escorted members of Congress back to the main chamber for official business,” said U.S. Marshals Service Director Donald Washington. “US Marshals will now bring to bear our fugitive investigations expertise to ensure that individuals charged in federal warrants are brought to face justice. Respect for the rule of law is a foundational principle for our democracy and the freedoms that it provides. Unlawful acts will not go unpunished.”
“The events that happened at and around the United States Capitol were unconscionable, and those responsible will be held accountable for their attempts to thwart Democracy,” said Metropolitan Police Department Chief of Police Robert J. Contee III. “While these charges represent a positive step, there is still work to be done. Our collective intentions are to work diligently to identify all of the persons responsible for the insurrection at our U.S. Capitol.”
Thirteen individuals have been charged with federal crimes. The defendants and charges are outlined below:
In addition, approximately 40 individuals have been arrested and charged in Superior Court with offenses including, but not limited to, unlawful entry, curfew violations, and firearms-related crimes.
The cases are being prosecuted by the U.S Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and are being investigated jointly by the FBI; U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; United States Marshals Service; U.S. Capitol Police Department; and the Metropolitan Police Department.
The ATF and FBI continue to urge the public to report suspected use of explosive devices, or violent, destructive acts associated with the recent unrest. Anyone with information can call 1-888-ATF-TIPS (1-888-283-8477), email ATFTips@atf.gov or submit information anonymously via ReportIt.com.
The FBI is looking for individuals who may have incited or promoted violence of any kind. Anyone with digital material or tips can call 1-800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324) or submit images or videos at fbi.gov/USCapitol.
The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. Defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Already surpassed all arrests of 10 cities looting and burning of billions.
No standing. Court Dismissed. Go home.
Any way to cross reference with AntifAmerica and BLM? The Molotov cocktails is obviously Antifa.
Mymy, aren’t we so fast to prosecute all these terrible rioters and general bad people? Sheesh, how many Antifa, BLM destroyers were arrested when they tore up the whole city a while back? Didn’t hear a peep out of the media or any news reports. Different rules for different folks as usual. We patriots who actually love our country and see it being taken from us have no voice. Even our President is not allowed a voice. How many years have we tried peacefully to have our voices heard? It’s not working.
let me guess....no ONE antifa goon in the bunch.
Hope some more computer folk can find social media background check on those names so we can see if they picked up any of the antifi. I don’t see the Antifa activist who was next to the girl who was shot.
I’m thinking these antifa goons, or some of them, we see online are just government informers/agitators. Why else could we identify faces so easily but no names and they are always out, never arrested or at least “prosecuted”
“Today’s charges are just the beginning of the FBI’s ongoing efforts to hold those responsible for the criminal acts of violence and destruction that unfolded...”
Oh, please.
These corrupt fags, bumblers, and idiots wouldn’t know the first thing about a criminal investigation into real acts of violence and destruction.
With stupid psychopaths like these in “law enforcement,” they solidify a quote.
“The inmates are truly in charge of the asylum now, and any demonstration of sanity will be punished.”
Jury nullification, all we need is one.
Where is Jake Angeli, the Buffalo horns guy who was photographed with Pelosi’s son-in-law? He was inside, in the House Chamber, moving around Pelosi’s chair, and checking out stuff on the desk. Did he take her laptop? He certainly had enough clothing on to slip out with it. It’s very telling that his photo wasn’t in the FBI collage of wanted people, although two of the guys he was photographed with at an Antifa rally during the summer, were in the wanted grouping. He was obviously there, with one of the first groups that got inside because they were all photographed together in a hallway. So where’s his name?
Trump should pardon them. The reaction from Pelosi when she has a mental meltdown would be a pure joy to see.

Your idea puts a smile on my face. :)
These protestors should have tried to leave the building when ordered to do so (if they were ordered as such), saying to the police on the way out, “Pardon me”.
After much thought I have come to the conclusion that it is healthy for those in government to have a respectful fear of the governed. Shaking them up is a good reminder of that.
.
Have they mentioned that so many of these instead of being the alleged ‘Trump Supporters’ are people with a history of anarchy including connection to antifa-types and leftwing agitation ?
.
Somehow I doubt we will hear all that much along those likes out of the politically agenda’d agencies and CERTAINLY NOT out of the demlefty media Betrayers of Truth.
.
Loot and burn your neighbor’s businesses not politician’s “property!”
Sheesh, people, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do things.
They’re not going to arrest any leftists.
Interesting post...
I'll let you decide if an order like that was likely ...
