*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

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

the FBI is only saying this because they know that people are on to them, and they want to cover up the extent of their involvement in the mostly peaceful protest.

They simply wanted to upset ppl’s lives, and drain them of funds for legal fees. This is a typical scumRat tactic! If found innocent, each victim should be refunded ALL costs, along with punitive damages against the FBI for enormous amounts!!
Go to the comments on the Daily Mail. They are outstanding.
