The FBI's investigation of the deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol this month has identified more than 400 suspects, according to the figures disclosed Tuesday by the Justice Department.
Steven D'Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington field office, said more than 150 criminal cases have been filed so far. Charges include unauthorized access, theft, damage to government property and assault on law enforcement officers.
The top prosecutor on the case, acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin, said the goal is to identify as many people as possible who entered the Capitol during the siege.
"Regardless of the level of criminal conduct, we're not selectively targeting or just trying to charge the most significant crime," Sherwin said. "If a crime was committed we are charging you, whether you were outside or inside the Capitol."
He said prosecutors were not concerned that opening a large number of cases could overwhelm the FBI or federal judges. "There's no manpower issue here. We have no issues with the court."

Or pay the consequences.
Even if you are just playing.
Any suspects in the Ferguson, Seattle, Portland, Baltimore, Atlanta, etc. “mostly peaceful” riots?
Hundreds of Antifa attackers of Federal Buildings in Portland?
None identified and prosecuted.
I detect bovine excrement ....
If you expect ANYTHING good from the GESTAPO, I mean FBI, you haven’t been paying attention to anything they’ve ever done.
Yeah, I was wondering that as well. Mostly peaceful gatherings vs fully armed assault on the US capital ratio of ID’ing perps.
Serious question, how is being outside of the capitol building a crime?
So how many federal criminal cases have been filed for the six or eight months of assaults on the federal courthouses in Portland, OR and Seattle, WA?
If you’re looking for fairness and equal treatment you are not well acquainted with reality.
Democrats relish the opportunity to exercise the power of the state, especially against their opponents.
It’s their wildest dream come true.
No.
+1
This is selective enforcement and illegitimate since they are not persecuting Antifa and BLM
Persecuting is the correct word
I love the “Trump made me do it” crowd.
Who slaughtered Ashli Babbitt?
“I love the “Trump made me do it” crowd.”
That’s not going to work in front of a DC jury.
Yes, peaceful. I saw what those peaceful protests did to Target stores! And we DEPEND on our Target store for food, clothes, office supplies, toys....
Here’s hoping the FBI makes a visit then. I aim to make a VERY public statement.
Just think if they used the same manpower and assets to ID and arrest the rioters that for weeks attacked and destroyed property at the federal buildings in Oregon.
Next time I hope “we” accomplish something significant..? /s?
I mean if “we” are going to be accused of something..let’s not act like a bunch of leftist retarded hacks and botch the job.
