Justice Dept. arrests hit 1,000 in connection with Jan. 6, and new accusations surface in latest prosecutions
See BS 'News' ^ | 3/06/23 | Scott McFarlane

The Justice Department has reached a milestone in its prosecution of the U.S. Capitol attack, confirming it has arrested at least 1,000 people in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol, nearly half of whom still face the prospect of trials or plea agreements.

A new wave of cases, many of which involve higher-level charges of assaults against police, continues to expand a prosecution that is already the largest in American history.

Twenty-six months into the criminal investigation, the newest cases continue to reveal new details and evidence about alleged criminal activity amid the riotous mob.

Slightly more than half of the men and women charged with federal crimes in the Jan. 6 attack have entered guilty pleas in their cases. But even as cases close, new defendants and charges continue to surface, which could stretch the overall prosecution well into 2024, if not beyond.

In its latest update, the Justice Department said the FBI is seeking to identify at least 260 more people wanted in the attack.

In many of its court filings, including a sentencing memo issued Monday, the Justice Department characterizes the Jan. 6 investigation as sweeping and unprecedented, calling it "a violent attack that forced an interruption of the certification of the 2020 Electoral College vote count, threatened the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 Presidential election, injured more than one hundred police officers, and resulted in more than 2.8 million dollars in losses."

Kinda sounds like the Justus department hasn't moved on. Still no sign of anyone guilty of insurrection. Strange.

Makes one wonder when the smoke clears....just how much ‘pain-and-suffering’ money will have to be paid out to each individual...into the five-to-ten million range...maybe even 100-million each?

Someone remind me again how many Antifa BLM rioters and arsonists were arrested and prosecuted by the Justus Department?

If it weren't for the bravery of Kyle Rittenhouse, there would have been no justice at all.

Tucker had VIDEO of the security team escorting the buffalo head and spear guy around. Even checking locked doors for him to let him in.

Largest political persecution in the history of the US. A warning to all who stand against communists, just like Trudeau freezing the bank accounts of anyone sympathizing with the vaccine protests— They will commit their crimes openly and are telling us that if you try to interfere the full force of the modern government’s legal, financial and security apparatus will be used against you without mercy.

The January 6 scandal was the first volley of the Demo-Fascist attempts to prevent Trump from returning to the WH. And, of course, the Deep State is solidly behind it.

The Democrats and Deep State realize that if Trump does get back in the WH, all hell is going to break loose. He is going to shine a spotlight on the Jan 6 travesty and all their other crimes...and clean house at the Deep State (or at least wage war to do so).

We can be sure the enemy is going to pull out all the stops in destroying Trump. So far, they've failed at every attempt. Their backs are against the wall.

Jeez Louise! What an UGLY bunch of mugs! Every one of them UGLY. Not just visually ugly, but you can see the ugliness of their souls oozing out of their pores. Truly a grotesque rogues' gallery of Democrats.

The only true ugliness is this world is ugliness of the soul and heart. These Democrat gangsters have all that in spades.

I noticed that too; the middle three are a lineup’s nightmare, the three ugliest people I have seen in a long time. And you can tell they are ugly down to the heart of their souls. Tucker last nite exposed this group as a pack of liars who concocted and spread a pack of vicious lies, withheld exculpatory evidence, hired some trash “producer” out of Hollywood to create spliced videotapes, and they didn’t give a crap about the impact of their filth on innocent people and their families; I am not surprised to see it from Cheney - after all, her draft dodging father was one of history’s great liars on the nonexistence of WMDs and the ‘need” to invade Iraq.

All the while antifa, blm, jessie smollet, killery, hunter biden and so many others have nothing happen to them.

So, do you think government is biased and is simply used by democrats to hurt their enemies only? I do.

I’ve heard more concern about the Jan 6th political prisoners from Putin than I’ve heard from Republican leaders.

Tucker Carlson has been showing the Capitol video surveillance tapes to reveal the lie of the so called insurrection.

In fact there was none.

Trump gets elected, every one will receive a pardon.

This whole fiasco was designed by the Alinsky fascist think tank in DC to suppress the MAGA movement. Their sordid lies have failed.
