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."

there is an important lesson to be learned here...
This is not right. It is not JUST..not Justice at least. Those people are innocent, why are they charged? I saw it on Tucker Carlson last light.
They’re not asleep at the wheel this time. They’re ready for Trump and anyone who supports him. These prosecutions are Stalins show trials, a warning for anyone who dares speak truth to power. Beware. Civil forfeiture, anyone?
So true. Let’s pray they are not successful. They’ve probably got drone hits ready to go.
Pay no mind, its just the Osama/Garland/Bidementia/wRAy/ deep state Gestapo/KGB.
u gotta problm wid dat ?
(apologies, cannot mimic super corrupt Boston FBI POS agent in charge Commey)
Trump will not be allowed back in
We are already on a war. Several, actually.
And how many did the Department of “Justice” arrest in connection with the 2020 riots, which caused billions of dollars in damages and numerous deaths?
I guess they didn’t watch Tucker Carlsons show,maybe they better look at the videoes,and bring in the conspirators like Pelosi,the Capitol police,the FBI leadership and their coconspirators
Not if the Left can help it.
It's going to be an all-out war and we have to fight...and win.
If we don't win, the Left is going to clamp down on us and Trump to make sure this doesn't happen again. In other words, if they win, they will consolidate their gains and eliminate free elections once and for all.
"When you strike at a king, you must kill him." The Left struck at the king (Trump is the King in the Elvis tradition) on Jan 6th, but failed. They even failed when they ham-handedly raided Mar-a-Lago. They may be stupid, but they are still evil.
The Left's greatest weakness is that most of the American people ARE NOT with them.
Tell that to the Desantis fluffers.
Are you saying that DeSantis supporters are with the Left?
They are hurting the cause, the are ueeful idiots of the left and the GOPe effort to stop Trump and “get back to normal”.
We have witnessed something unimaginable in the USA. Our government has turned into a fascist dictatorship.
Sadly, most of the American people care more about who's featured this week on "Access Hollywood" than about the state of our country.
Exactly. The vast majority of Americans don't care about J6 one way or the other.
This couldn’t possibly have anything to do with Tucker releasing some of their videos and calling them out as the liars that they certainly are?
Naaaah. Biden won the election fair and square, and anyone who says otherwise belongs in jail.
They have the media in their pocket, so they are doubling-down.
They’ll simply dismiss Tucker as a “Right-Wing Nutter”.
Convene a Grand Jury and question Committee Members under oath about their lies regarding the Jan 6 Activities.
