[BARF ALERT]

*More than 570 alleged Capitol riot participants have been arrested by the feds

*About 90 to 95 percent are 'one-off cases,' a former senior official said

*Even organized groups like the Oathkeepers and Proud Boys who aimed to breach the Capitol had no serious plans on what to do once inside, the FBI says

*FBI so far has no evidence that Trump or people directly in his orbit were involved in organizing the violence on January 6, despite his incendiary speech

*Violent Trump supporters stormed the Capitol after a Stop the Steal rally in DC Nine people died in connection with the MAGA riot, including five officers

The FBI has found scant evidence that the January 6 attack on the US 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.

A former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the probe said that '90 to 95 percent of these are one-off cases.'

'Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages.'

The beginning of the attempt to now try and hide the truth of how deeply involved they were in this failed “Reichstag Fire USA”.

Nobody killed the communist protestors who occupied Wisconsin's capitol building.

The election protestors didn't expect to be murdered when entering our nation's capitol.

US cities burned last summer with riots How many of these rioters did the FBI ferret out? No way lose to the hundreds they have pursued for a single incident on January 6.

The false flag Antifa/FBI who led the way into the capitol should be easily recognized. If they were arrested they easily bonded out of jail. The CNN undercover dude, Sullivan?, roams free.

Completely agree. Only one act of real violence occurred during the event and that was the murder of Ashli Babbitt.

The "suicides" don't count.

Even organized groups like the Oathkeepers and Proud Boys who aimed to breach the Capitol had no serious plans on what to do once inside, the FBI says.

Maybe they thought they'd be treated like various leftie "occupy" groups.

Just waltz in and stay for a while while the media fawned over them. No need for a plan.

There were no deaths attributable to the gathering at the capital. It was NOT an insurrection. It was a False Flag to stop discussion of the stolen election.

Period.

Ashli Babbitt, is another issue. It is still very murky water.

That’s because it was coordinated by the FBI themselves, along with help from ANTIFA. The FBI (Gestapo) needs to be abolished.
