Federal officials charge more than 300 in U.S. Capitol riot

Federal prosecutors have charged more than 300 people with taking part in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Department of Justice said Friday, and at least 280 of them have been arrested.

"The investigation into those responsible is moving at a speed and scale that's unprecedented, and rightly so. Those responsible must be held to account, and they will be," acting Deputy Attorney General John Carlin said.

On Thursday, acting U.S. Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman told Congress of her concern that members of some of the same groups involved in last month's riot -- who said they wanted to attack the Capitol and even kill members of Congress -- might try to target President Joe Biden's first message to a joint session.

BLM allowed to burn, loot, and maim.

Antifa remains a phantom in the "minds" of the FBI.

Illegal Aliens caught and released.

But people taking selfies in a public building they paid for must be tried, convicted, and punished to the full extent of the law.

Two things that are never going to happen in one statement. What a joke this government is.

hypothetical question; if trump had not addressed the rally on the 6th, would the, er, incursion at the capitol taken place?

if he had been, say, out of the country that day, and not addressed the mostly peaceful protesters, would the incident have still occurred?

asking for a friend.

“who said they wanted to attack the Capitol and even kill members of Congress”

Those people should be arrested. And I bet none of them are Trump supporters.

Don’t forget that many burned looted and rioted on inauguration day for Trump and WERE NEVER CHARGED - because “that was just peaceful protesting”

That just really makes me angry. Where was this dispatch during the five year long coup d’etat against President Trump? That was a million times worse than an unruly mob entering the Capitol building egged on by antifa commie goons.

I can see them charging 280 people for trespassing. Maybe 20-30 people for vandalism/theft.

But it shouldn't be more than that. If so, they need to charge ANTIFA "protestors" the same in Portland Where they are attacking a federal courthouse.

Probably not because there wouldn’t have been a rally that day. So what? You think you’re being cute “asking for a friend”. But basically, your suggestion is that he cannot hold a rally to demonstrate public opinion against the theft of the election.

Hypothetical question. If the election was not blatantly stolen right before America’s eyes, would the capitol trespassing have taken place?

Asking for a friend.

How many of the Antifa mostly peaceful protesters, who attacked police for weeks, were arrested? Was there any real effort made to track them down?

If they claim to be members of Antifa or Communist Black Lives MatterTM (most are Leftists anyway), charges will be dropped.

Because President Trump was going to speak that day, the auntiefaz/BurnLootMurder and other organizers planned their “riot” for that day. If he had decided to speak another day, they would have planned their little gig for another day.
