WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) - The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.
Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.

ha .... ha ... ha .... very funny clap ... clap ... clap
Did Michael Leroy Byrd murdered Ashli Babbitt?
What other violence was there?
This is a significant story. Maybe it didn’t qualify as breaking, but not sure why the news/current events label was removed. But so goes moderation.
Yes.
It took tens of millions of dollars and the world’s premiere law enforcement agency to detect the obvious.
What a joke! The only thing missing was a Russian conspiracy theory...
Disorderly conduct. Trespassing.
THIS IS A LIE, if they went to the 7tjh floor of the FBI building, they will find ALL the Evidence necessary, then try Pelosi’s office and her communications.
Yes, you're right.
And everyone should do this: Look up "Jan. 6 capitol damage" and look at the images to see just how little damage there was to the capitol.
“Unexpected“
Actually, this is exactly what I expected - that they would use it to smear the MAGA movement for a while, and then find some excuse to drop it without further investigation.
Think about it - they can’t very well pursue it for real - all evidence of coordination would point to them, not us.
Yep.
Well, when you purposefully focus exclusively on the wrong group, you rarely find evidence.

Don’t you hate it when someone uses an obscure abbreviation?
You beat me to it.
This.. coming from the vaunted REUTERS. Jolt.
Under the noses of McConnell and McCarthy sitting down the street, bringing NOTHING to highlight this Abuse, NO Charges, ALL smears, No Action.
The American Flag should be half staff and the POW flag Flying high.
It was a small group of people who let themselves get emotionally caught up in a moment who should have stopped to think for 10 seconds but did not, and still a few more who were just flat out nuts like the “Q Shaman” guy wearing horns with body paint.
The real investigation should be why the Capitol was for some reason so poorly guarded and easily accessible.
has even ONE person been charged wi Insurrection? no...
Why hide the videos? Was it like Michigan with 10 informants and a dupe? There were some dupes, but there is a lot of this that occam’s razor explains given hiding the videos.
no, it has served its purpose. political dissent is now terrorism
I wonder if the FBI’s involvement is the “scant” evidence they have found of a coordinated plot.
