Evidence uncovered so far, including weapons and tactics seen on surveillance video, suggests a level of planning that has led investigators to believe the attack on the US Capitol was not just a protest that spiraled out of control, a federal law enforcement official says.
Among the evidence the FBI is examining are indications that some participants at the Trump rally at the Ellipse, outside the White House, left the event early, perhaps to retrieve items to be used in the assault on the Capitol.
A team of investigators and prosecutors are also focused on the command and control aspect of the attack, looking at travel and communications records to determine if they can build a case that is similar to a counterterrorism investigation, the official said.
The belief, early in the probe, will demand significant investigation. The presence of corruption prosecutors and agents is in part because of their expertise in financial investigations. "We are following the money," the official said.
By Wednesday morning, the FBI reported that it had received more than 126,000 digital tips from the public regarding the attack on the Capitol -- more than three times the number of tips received on Monday.
Among the thousands of tips the FBI received are some that appear to show members of Congress with people who later showed up at the Capitol riot, two law enforcement officials said. This doesn't mean members of Congress and staff are under investigation, but the FBI is checking the veracity of the claims, the officials said.

Evidence! We don’t need no stinkin’ evidence!
ya think
Just whose side do you think that the Anti-Trump FBI is on anyway. Facts are for idiots.
Maybe they should investigate why NPR released a report at 9:30AM about the Capitol being stormed ( 3.5 hours before Trumps speech)
You altered the headline of the article. tch tch
Obvious. Once you get people to start going into the building then even normal non trouble makers go in, without real intention to hurt anyone. The problem is that Trump, contrary to what he’s done over the last 5 years gave up the fight, accepted the narrative and didn’t push back at all. They’ve got him reading leftist crap in front of green screens. Mr. President, don’t stop fighting!
How weird is this!?
I don’t ever recall any agency talking about investigating Antofagasta / BLM like this or talking about “following the money.”
Plus this doesn’t seem to be focused on Trump supporters and it is CNN reporting.
What’s going on here?
So, essentially, the FBI is saying they need time to work with the media and big tech to scrub the anti-Trump messaging from the accounts of those responsible for the attack.
I mean, they’ve already claimed they’ve seen no evidence BLM or Antifa were involved (even though interweb sleuths have already shown the opposite), so they need more time to fix the narrative.
Any investigation that might prove that actual Trump supporters weren’t responsible will stop in a few days. And all those involved will be retired...with a lifelong secrecy oath backed up by the threat of 10 years at Club Fed.And,of course,there will be no “whistleblowers”.
as i’ve said several times the past week- looking more and more like the Covington Catholic School. BS we were first fed...

Who let this headline slip pass the minders at CNN!? Narrative, It’s wrecking the narrative!
Congress KNEW this was a setup
to allow them to make slaves of Americans
while THEY are continue protected as they
rape, traffic, murder, steal and maim
as much as they want
(limited only by Xi, Merkel and Soros, of course).
A lie gets around the world before the truth gets its pants on. Applies here, in spades.
Pelousy and I are near the same age but I look forward to the day when I read her obit.
A warning to any (peaceful) MAGA young men who were there. Leftist women on dating sites are posing as MAGA to reel them in and get them to brag and then turning them in to the FBI. I have direct knowledge of this.
Maybe it’s part of the “big drop” everyone seems to be talking about that Trump will do this week that will have Dems screaming. The Dems set up this “attack” and now it’s starting to bite them....maybe explains the urgency of this whole impeachment fiasco. I’ll bet a lot of those tips involve arrangements Dem’s were making with pictured attackers.
The FIB aka KGB and DOJ are champing at the bit to jail MAGA types for “sedition.” They’ve been waiting for this moment for 4 years, eager tomget back to their Waco and Ruby Ridge traditions. With Biden in charge, these Anti-American secret police will be in their prime.
It was the result of a YouTube Video!
