“The FBI has linked at least 40 defendants to extremist groups or movements, including at least 16 members or associates of the neo-fascist Proud Boys and at least five connected to the anti-government Oath Keepers. FBI agents also explicitly tied at least 10 defendants to QAnon, a pro-Trump conspiracy theory that has grown beyond its fringe origins to penetrate mainstream Republican politics.”

Yet the FBI still hasn’t arrested more than a handful of people that burned cities causing billions in damage, blew up ATMs, murdered police and attempted to burn police stations while cops were locked inside, found out who ordered and delivered pallets of the bricks thrown at police, or even realized that ANTIFA is an actual organization.

As I've been saying here, the Capitol “insurrection” was theoretically by the most well-armed half of the most well-armed citizenry on the planet, yet strangely no shots were fired by the “insurgents.” Funny, that. The Left should explain how that works.

Where else do so-called "insurgents" observe velvet rope lines?

This whole event, while stupid and regrettable at best, has been totally overblown and oversold by the Left. If not created by them.

Guess we’re supposed to have “dead” ammunition as opposed to live ammo. Who writes this Schiff?

Investigators found invoices for more than $750 worth of live ammunition and for a firearm designed to look like a cellphone at the Virginia home of Thomas Caldwell...

1) That's not a lot of ammo. Good thing it was live rather than dead.
2) It's stupid to design a firearm as a cell phone as police always shoot perps with cell phones in their hands mistaking them for weapons.

$750.00 is about five boxes of 9mm ammo in today’s market.

Well, the government had better start emptying the prisons of rapists, murderers, child abusers and other hardened criminals to make room for all the "subversive, White Supremacist Terrorists and Trump supporters."

Looks like they've already started:

Too bad none of them were named Bill Ayers, they could’ve gotten jobs as university professors.

The “Insurrection” must, truly, have frightened those turds because they built a wall, (like a safe-room) that no self-respecting, unarmed “insurrectionist” would dare to breach. An insurrection without weapons? Now that’s a novelty!

“Right-wing extremists, blessed by Donald Trump”

The propaganda mill keeps churning. Got to have their Reichstag Fire propaganda as an excuse to repress all real dissent. Let’s fixate on a tiny number of extremists on the right and ignore the Dems unleashing tens of thousands of extremists who terrorized our cities for almost a year.

Rhetoric, and stuff found in a man’s home. Was anyone actually carrying or using a firearm in the erection?

Every person who entered the building on the 6th needs a $1000 fine, but now investigators are just going fishing for more.

I don’t believe Oath Keepers are some far right militia group
focusing on the capital.

Someone is sniffing too much hopium...

But, oddly enough, not at the scene of the riot, nor anywhere nearby. So, these folks possessed firearms and devices which would have been quite useful if they were trying to conduct an insurrection, but didn’t bother to bring them.

Hmmmm.
