As Jan. 6 defendants anticipate pardons from President-elect Donald Trump, there are indications that the FBI is winding down any further investigations of the attack on the Capitol in 2021.
According to sources at the FBI, Jan. 6 cases still being investigated “are dead.”
“They’re not going anywhere. They’re dead. They’re going to be closed, because they still have some in the pipeline,” an FBI source said.
“Basically, right now, everyone [is asking], ’Why the hell are you prosecuting?” another Bureau source said. “They’re all going to be pardoned anyway, so it’s an informal shutdown.”
The FBI has 9 videos of suspects wanted for violent assaults on law enforcement agents or officers stemming from Jan. 6, according to the U.S. Attorneys’ Office for the District of Columbia. The FBI is also looking for “known fugitives” from that day.
The Washington Times reached out to the FBI for comment.
The Jan. 6 cases in the pipeline involve individuals the FBI had been investigating but had not been arrested yet for their alleged involvement related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly declared on the campaign trail he would pardon Jan. 6 rioters and denounced the Justice Department’s investigation.
These pardons, his campaign said at the time, would be decided on a “case by case basis.”
The Justice Department charged more than 1,500 people related to Jan. 6. More than 570 are contending with felony charges of assaulting or impeding law enforcement and may see their cases dropped.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said 979 individuals have pleaded guilty to charges from Jan. 6, including approximately 318 defendants guilty of felonies and 661 for misdemeanors.
Another 210 individuals have been found guilty at trial, including 10 who were found guilty of seditious conspiracy.

Mirror analysis.
Anyone who committed a violent assault on law enforcement should be charged. Everyone else - especially those who “interrupted an official proceeding” or entered the Capitol - should all be pardoned and released immediately.
winding down……..what a crock
Is there any way to go after those private actors that were helping the F.I.B. identify J6s?
Once Trump gets the DOJ cleaned out then they need to seek out and go after all of those instigating operatives who have been protected. Especially if they were working for the government.
Loving it!
Agree. 99% should have charged dropped AND be pardoned (to vote again).
The very few who actually assaulted officers on tape should be prosecuted. Officers who shot or head smashed Trump supporters should likewise be prosecuted.
Time to start new January 6 investigations... of the government officials involved in that Reichstag fire.
The worm needs to turn, and the criminals in the government need to be prosecuted (OUT OF WASHINGTON DC) and put in prison.
There should be some way to award attorney fees and costs to those unnecessarily charged.
I would add those that actually smashed doors and windows to get in (doubly so if they were on the FBI payroll to act as agent provocateurs). There is no way you can claim you were just coming in to protest if you smashed the doors.
I really want the FBI infiltrators and instigators. Make it so that no one will do the FBI's dirty business of entrapment in the future.
This just confirms that the prosecutions were political in nature. There is a long long list of things about the Biden administration that pisses me off. The politicization of the DOJ and the treatment of the Jan 6th Defendants is in the top 5.
Democrat operatives that rioted, destroyed buildings, and assaulted anyone that tried to stop them, either were not arrested or had all charges dropped. Those that were at the Capitol on Jan 6th had every criminal charges on the books thrown at them and given egregious sentences. The double-standard was obviously political.
How many of those in the pipeline were Federal agents or CI’s?
I would add those that actually smashed doors and windows to get in
Wouldn't that be under "Time already served"?
So we may indeed see a rebirth of “liberty and justice for ALL”.
“I really want the FBI infiltrators and instigators.”
They should be put on trial for treason.
Time to start winding up the investigations into the 2020 BLM/Antifa riots, especially those in DC.
Wow! A J 6th post!
ABOUT TIME SOMEONE REMEMBERS THEM! THANK YOU!
They are still sitting in prison after four years forgotten and there should be headline after headline to put pressure on them to just let them all out now!
They are now just sadistically rubbing the salt in the wound. Pure evil and cruelty. Why isn’t even Trump making it a news priority issue nationwide?
