At least 28,000 supporters of President Donald Trump flocked to the nation’s capital on Jan. 6, 2021 — many of them carrying weaponry ranging from firearms to brass knuckles to screwdrivers, the House select committee investigating the events of that day revealed in its final report.
The 814-page document, released late Thursday, draws the previously unreported crowd figure from data from Secret Service magnetometers stationed at Trump’s pre-riot speech on the Ellipse near the White House — though hundreds of the most hardcore rioters skipped the rally and went directly to the Capitol.
The committee of seven Democrats and two anti-Trump Republicans voted Monday to ask the Justice Department to charge the 76-year-old former president with crimes including inciting an insurrection — and the report suggests many attendees were indeed ready for violence.
Secret Service confiscated a haul of weapons from the 28,000 spectators who did pass through the magnetometers: 242 cannisters of pepper spray, 269 knives or blades, 18 brass knuckles, 18 tasers, 6 pieces of body armor, 3 gas masks, 30 batons or blunt instruments, and 17 miscellaneous items like scissors, needles, or screwdrivers,” the report says.

It is racist to try to enforce that there is only one correct answer to a mathematics problem. 😇 Feelings about the total bring it to 28,000.
Also, let’s see the unbroken chain of evidence proof. There isn’t any.
The junk they piled up probably either had price tags from stores, were shiny and new from China, or were from past criminal evidence lockers which are now empty. We’re supposed to trust the FBI after they knowingly colluded to confirm the paid fictional story of Moscow prostitutes with Trump, paid by Hillary? Some admirable and reliable agents that makes these liars.
Headline implied loaded weapons, not brass knuckles or women’s purse pepper sprays college women carry. Not grenade launchers.
I’m more likely to leave the house without my car keys than without my Bench Made and Leatherman old style Wave.
That inventory looks like a typical haul for confiscation for a night in Times Square or the miracle mile. Hell, the old quarter could collect that in a hour and also this would not be out of place in Buckhead on weekend.
The real wives with mimosas need not apply to the screwdriver party.
Where did the Secret Service come from? They don’t have responsibility for security at the Capitol Building.
They forgot about the 500,000 Trump supporters a short distance away. If they’d wanted to they could have just about taken over the entire city, but they were quite peaceful.
The lying media won’t show you this historic video. It’s a little over 3 minutes, watch to the end.

If everyone was ARMED, why was the only woman MURDERED the only one that was UNARMED and shot by ARMED Capitol Police?
Whatever, Nan, ya drunken sot!
And yet the only person shot and killed was a protestor by the congressional SS.
New math?
You're kidding, right? Nearly every one of them has been turtled-up since 1/6/21.
Leftists like to lie. Not to mention, all those weapons were taken from antifa and blm infiltrators.
Typical for the lying RATS. When have they ever told the truth?
so 28K Trump supporters were exercising their right to bear arms and not ONE used them!
Is there a SINGLE fact that shows this was simply a demonstration more than that?
If 28K armed Americans wanted to take the house, they’d done so.
This is a bold face lie.
Exactly where were there’s army of 28,000 armed Trump supporters ready to take over the government where were they?
Why? Because Trump will win in ‘24. Everyone knows it.
The math works if a few hundred people all helped carry each blunt baton or needle.
What about the 4 nuclear devices they brought with them? How was this omitted?
