WASHINGTON (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.

"Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. "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."

Not that it will matter to the Democrats. It has become a doctrine of their religion.

Their other doctrine is that the BLM and Antifa riots were peaceful.

Well, with a near certainty, it was planned, coordinated and DIRECTED with FBI operatives working in conjunction with Antifa affiliated operatives and other leftist government elements.

Maybe not coordinated by the protestors or by Trump.

But how about coordinated by those who control the Capitol? Like who gave the order for the police to wave people in?

And it was used by the friendly neighbourhood INGSOC media to divert the simpletons’ attention away from voter fraud.

Will anyone in the press use the word “baseless” to describe the claim that it was a Trump-led coordinated effort?

Are they releasing political prisoners from the gulags?

I doubt it. They still see regular Americans as the enemy.

There is an ulterior motive to these exoneration statements.

In other words, it turned into a rumble...not an insurrection.

Anyone that thinks otherwise is an idiot.

Well, it may well have been coordinated ... by the FBI!

(Where is the thousands of hours of video?)

Which means they could only make up a little that would be even slightly believable and are still arresting and imprisoning patriots while ignoring antifa and blm terrorists.

In other words they probably found out that Antifa and their own plants were the real driving force behind all the violence that day.

So, the FBI leaks a bit of news, wanting to establish a narrative, to control what we already knew. Why not have a news conference, and tell EVERYONE. Why manipulate the newsfeed with these selective limited bits of information. Tell us WHO in the FBI was provoking all of this. Leak this.

Nancy Pelosi is a frightened crone. She must be physically removed from power for the good of the Republic

Pelosi is a Domestic Enemy

Define scant. Like scantily clad? Does this mean three people? One person? A note on a napkin?

Au contraire! It was organized by BLM and Antifa!

Wonder if the FIB looked in that direction? /S Heavy sarcasm

This action by the FBI makes me think that the FBI does not want investigation hearing by congress and the senate. We know they had operatives in the demonstration that lead and caused the trouble and their association with Pelosi and why did the idiot officer kill a non threat... had he been instructed that someone needed to die? I think he knows too much for his own health.
