The first person to allegedly enter the Capitol’s southwest terrace tunnel on Jan. 6, 2021, has been arrested by the FBI — more than two years after the riot, the Justice Department announced Wednesday.

Brett Rotella of North Carolina became infamous among post-Jan. 6 internet sleuths because of his identifiable outfit — a red skull cap, a dark vest over a red sleeveless shirt and light-colored shorts. He has been accused of leading a large group of rioters toward the tunnel and charging U.S. Capitol Police, while turning his back to deflect rubber bullets from the officers

And how many daily news stories of true crimes (rape,carjackings,home invasions, mugging, murder) result in no prison time or greatly reduced?

A true crime show I saw last week had the coda at the end before the credits, saying the late 1990s multiple torture murder’s sentence first had the death penalty removed by a later California law change, was reduced from 20 years to 10 years later one, and then he was released after 7 years and lives free today.

Apprehended 2.5 years later? He most likely is an undercover fed of some sort. They just want to make it look like there were no undercover people present. I expect the case to disappear or a fake trial and sentence, then a disappearance.

See, the J6 disturbance was an insurrection that laughably “threatened” to reverse a dishonest and fraud-filled election.

OTOH, there is nothing to suspect, despite the Durham and Mueller reports, that Bammy, FJB, Hillary and the senior leadership of the CIA, FBI attempted to remove President Trump. That, of course, was not an insurrection or attempted coup d’etat.

Add in the 2022 midterms, someone explain to me how they expect a clean 2024 congressional presidential elections.
