Selfie-snapping Capitol rioters left investigators a treasure trove of evidence — at least 140,000 pictures and videos taken during the deadly Jan. 6 siege, according to federal prosecutors.

Startling images quickly emerged of the siege, with many making no attempts to disguise their involvement — like bare-chested "QAnon Shaman" Jake Angeli, who was quickly IDed thanks to his horned bearskin headdress with red, white and blue face paint.

One of the first inside, Douglas Jensen, allegedly said he wanted to make sure the world saw his QAnon shirt so that "‘Q’ could ‘get the credit’" for the siege, according to officials.

The FBI quickly used many of those images to appeal for help — with at least one alleged rioter, Air Force veteran Larry Rendell Brock, getting turned in by his ex-wife.

Ouch.

Do they have a trail of the BLM & ANTIFA riots over the summer? I’m sure there are ample photographs or the perps to be hunted down.

I never understood the point of breaking into the Capital. What were the rioters attempting to accomplish?

Looking back at some of the old posts from days ago, it just seemed like anger and rage without having a coherent idea about what they were doing.

Too bad they missed getting photos of the thousands of anarchists who destroyed $2 billion worth of property, and caused the death of at least 30 humans since May 31, 2020. They must have just purchased cameras on January 6th.

140,000 “domestic terrorists”. It may take a while but I trust our good friends at the FBI will round up every last miscreant. Question: Is there enough room at Gitmo for all these evil doers?

You have the right not to post pictures of yourself on social media. Any picture you do post can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Better ask Antifa and BLM.

They were led into an ambush. A DC cop moved the barricade while Antifa rushed in encouraging protesters to join in. It seemed like fun. Two cops shook their hands and said “This is your House”. And then things went downhill in a hurry.

Can someone explain this to laymen: These were selfies, taken on phones. How did they get them? If they were sent to other people, did the FBI intercept them. I am not clear on how this occurred.

Sorry for being ignorant on these matters.

I don’t recall being asked for help in the BLM or Antifa protests.

The FBI is not interested in hunting them down. They are the allies of the FBI. Any one is not a Communists or one of their fellow travelers that thinks that the FBI is in their side is only deluding themselves, or neutral. The FBI is strictly on the side of the Communists and their affiliates.

They believed it was a grand idea to post the pictures on social media.

Whatever you post on facefook,twatter, etc. is public, no matter what the terms of service say. You think the FBI needs a warrant for that?
