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.

It’s what the Democrats did on November 3rd that has them terrified.

Everyone knows and they know that everyone knows.

FBI and the other police state agencies are at war with the people. They are neo-kgb, neo-Stasi.

Jury nullification for federal cases.

And just what force is going to breach Ft. Pelozi which is defended by 5,000 Nat. Guardsmen? Or is that the force they're afraid of? LOL

Once charged in the Federal system, you’re going to prison. There is like a 96% conviction rate.

Phewwww! good thing they cleared out the prisons of all the rapists, murderers and pedos to make room for the horrible velvet rope insurrectionists who peacefully waved flags and spoke with officers politely while inside the capitol after being ushered in by the police

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

This is what they left do to keep the right from becoming “Uppity”- The left allow the left to be out of control criminals, burn down cities, assault trump supporters, destroy people’s lives- but when republicans, Trump supporters march peacefully and enter a capitol building after being invited in and the left go after them hard

Schumer threatened Trump when he was in office- He told him the FBI has 6 different ways to get a person- and he meant it

“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer

Judge would probably use the directed verdict of guilty! Never happened before but of course these are different times. The country has been turned on its head. Only thing that will prevail now would be a direct hit by a comet.

I agree 100% and I have to say I’m liking the redhead.

I married one, and she’s a little storm of all her own :)

Why can’t they find the dude who supposedly fire extinguished the Capitol cop?

“joint session”?

Hunter is very familiar with joint sessions.

So they're making arrests and bypassing due process based on speculation about crimes suspects might commit? Did they consult the psychics from Minority Report?

I never heard that the lady CNN reporter who was with Sullivan was ever arrested. I don’t believe that I ever will.

There is something that has Democrats terrified that they are overreacting so much.

It is all pantomime, and Kabuki theater, by the Dems and the RINOs. They all know this election was stolen. They planned this kerfuffle, and then they started wailing alligator tears as if their lives were all in danger.
They acted like the Iraqis in the Gulf War - claiming that 'Holy Ground' was attacked.
Just utter made up nonsense - to sweep any election fraud scrutiny under the rug, and to complete the fraud transaction. Planned in advanced, and executed with the complicity of a traitorous media.

NBC is accelerating in its 20-year drop in quality.

This article is worse than a high school newspaper on many levels.

#18. Good questions. Wonder how many arsonists were arrested in the St. John’s Church building burning/riots next to Lafayette Park and across from the White House, last year.

The DC Police have been neutered by ineffective and sometimes cowardly police chiefs for decades, aided and abetted by a very corrupt, very racist, and very white leftist City Council/mayors.

Almost all of the killings in DC have been by blacks from DC or nearby Maryland, esp. Prince Georges County, usually over drugs or personal feuds, yet “whites” are seen as the “gun threats” to DC citizens who want to own legal guns for their self-defense.

If any of this makes sense to you, please write a sequel to “Alice in Wonderland, DC Country” and tell us how the use of Orwellian “doublespeak” tells the truth about crime in the DC area.

Ah, those DC Amish. They do love their AK 47s and Scorpion Pistols.
