“Ibrahim was a DEA agent who had given his notice to resign and was on personal leave on Jan. 6; at the riot, he was carrying his DEA-issued badge and pistol.”

You don’t say. So he was carrying an Gvmnt issued weapon and is being charged with that?

“Five are charged with having a taser, three with an axe, four with a baseball bat, seven with a crutch, 11 with a baton, 13 with bear or pepper spray”

That doesn’t sound like your regular Trump crowd. That sounds like people with ulterior motives.

What a silly question! Unless,of course,you consider plastic moose antlers to be a weapon or you believe that taking selfies in a House hallway is an "insurrection".

But,OTOH,there's the matter of the unarmed Air Force veteran...

Hmmmm, I seem to recall that flag-waving granny who stayed between the velvet rope lines had a couple of arms..

If it was an armed insurrection then why haven’t any of the defendants been charged with insurrection or sedition or treason or any of the other charges you would think might come out of it?

With a CRUTCH?

Heaven help the guy using an “Assault” Wheelchair or Walker!

“With a CRUTCH?”

It’s an innocent looking ‘weapon’. Who’s going to question someone with a crutch? A lot easier to explain than carrying a baseball bat.

The feds are officially in the same class of people as police who shoot people’s dogs or cats just because they can get away with it.

Rule: Never trust a news organization that calls January 6 an insurrection or riot and calls the summer of insurrection “protests.”

If they will lie about that, they will lie about everything.

Doesn’t explain bringing tasers, baseball bats, etc to a Trump rally. There were obviously some people in the crowd in attendance in order to start trouble.

I wonder if the investigation will look in to how many protesters were associated with Antifa or BLM? Are Antifa members with semiautomatic rifles who are setting fire to federal courthouses considered armed insurrectionists?

So freaking what!

Do you want to compare DC on January 6, 2021 to January 20, 2017? That’s what is okay with the Commiecrats when it’s their insurrection and rioting.

Frankly, whatever the federal government says is suspect so long as it is polluted with rats.

Robert Welch Jr was right.

So what?
So if the troublemakers hadn’t been there as instigators, it probably wouldn’t have gotten out of control.

If that’s out of control then what have the same people been turning a blind eye to for several years now? Is it too much to expect consistency?

I don’t accept the narrative or those in government or the media offering it … they all lie. It’s simply what they do.

Wonder why throughout all the Democrat-Communist Party and Leftist news media nonsense about the “armed” attack by unarmed Trumpers on J6, there’s never been any reference to the horrific bombing on November 7, 1983 of the Capitol building by the female terrorist group known as M-19 that caused several million dollars of destruction to the north wing of the building?????

Yes, all protesters had two arms…except a couple veterans who had lost one.

All the FBI agents that breached the Capital before Trump supporters arrived most certainly had some for of arms with their armor and ear pieces

Unlike the “mostly peaceful protests” antifa and BLM held in 2020, this was truly an arm4ed insurrection as most of the “rioters” showed up with two arms, right and left.
