A year ago, Wooz News put this video, laying out all of the organizing groups around the capitol and then continues to point them out in various roles throughout the day. It is clever, funny and right on target.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -FBI employees were ordered on Sunday to answer a questionnaire about any work they may have done on criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, stoking fear about a fresh round of firings at the law enforcement agency. The list of questions in the memo, seen by Reuters, direct employees to give their job title, any role they played in the investigations into the Jan. 6 riot by supporters of President Donald Trump and whether they helped supervise such investigations.

An Indiana man who was recently pardoned for his participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was shot and killed during a traffic stop by a sheriff's deputy Sunday. Matthew Huttle, 42, was involved in a traffic stop at 4:15 p.m. by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy, authorities said in a news release. It alleged that Huttle resisted arrest and was found to have a firearm on him. "An altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect," the release said.

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), who headed Congress’s special investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, said Tuesday that he has been in talks with the White House about presidential pardons. His comments confirmed a report, published hours earlier by Punchbowl News, that Thompson had at least one conversation in December with the White House counsel’s office about a potential pardon. He emphasized that he wasn’t lobbying for any special favors. “It wasn’t preemptive,” Thompson said. “We had a discussion about pardons. It wasn’t a particular pardon. … I said for me, as a member of the...

On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” Vice President-elect JD Vance said Trump’s incoming administration “obviously” should not give pardons to people who were convicted of committing violent act on January 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol. Host Shannon Bream said, “January 6 pardon, President Trump says there is a process. Where is the line drawn on who will and would’t be considered for a pardon?” Vance said, “I think it’s very simple. If you protested peacefully on January 6 and you’ve had Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned. If...

Before PDJT does anything else, he MUST grant unconditional pardons for EVERY J6 prisoner, with a $1M restitution for each one. NO EXCEPTIONS!We must close the American Gulag - now and forever - and jail for life those who ran this disgusting communist spectacle, which turned the FBI into the NKVD.

REDDING, Calif. - Four years after the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Shasta County Election Task Force held a rally calling for those imprisoned to be released. Those in attendance took their rally to the Shasta County Courthouse steps. "We pray for Tina Peters and all the good patriot Americans who got incarcerated" one attendee said. Among those in attendance were District 5 Supervisor Chris Kelstrom and outgoing District 4 Supervisor Patrick Jones. "Fair election mean that we have voting on one day, paper ballots and no machines" Jones told supporters on Monday.

Senator Mitt Romney (R-MA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that January 6, 2021 will be seen “as a very dark day in American history.” Host Jake Tapper said, “Four years ago next month you were running for your life from the mob on January 6. And now the person that you said was responsible for that day is about to return to the White House. He says he’s going to pardon a lot of the people that have been convicted for the crimes committed on that day. What do you think the legacy of January 6 will...

From the start, the Select Committee on January 6 was rocked by problems, with perhaps no other member of that committee in as much trouble as now former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). There's been chatter about criminal referrals for Cheney for months, especially since she is a former member of Congress, though it also came up once more earlier this week with President-elect Donald Trump weighing in during his "Meet the Press" interview with Kristen Welker. As was also mentioned, President Joe Biden is reportedly considering a preemptive pardon for Cheney and others. During tht interview, Trump reminded how involved...

Donald J. Trump has made his revisionist account of the Capitol attack the foundation of this campaign, even when there is little political advantage.When a moderator asked Donald J. Trump about Jan. 6, 2021, at the presidential debate, the former president slipped immediately into a now-familiar revisionist history of the attack on the U.S. Capitol. He falsely claimed that he had nothing to do with the assault, blaming it on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the police officers who protected the building that day against a mob of his supporters. But then Mr. Trump made a brief but telling...

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) highlighted the “horror” of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, and his own response, in an ad released Tuesday as part of his campaign for the U.S. Senate. “On January 6, as we watched in horror, Hogan didn’t just talk about defending democracy, he did something. Sending in the Maryland National Guard to protect the Capitol,” the narrator says in the TV ad, titled “Never Backs Down.” “That’s the same Larry Hogan. Tough. Independent. Never backs down,” the narrator continues. The one-minute ad shows footage from the Jan. 6 attack on the...

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) expressed fresh frustration at his fellow Republicans on Wednesday in response to newly released video of then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi the day after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, showing the California Democrat saying former President Trump has to “pay a price.” When asked to respond to footage showing Pelosi stressing that the National Guard should have been called earlier while stressing a focus on Trump in the riot’s aftermath, Kinzinger said the video evoked fresh memories of that day. “She was reacting how we all did, and it just kind of takes me back to...

First, the transfer of power happens on January 20 not January 6. (And DOJ let off the hook hundreds of 2017 inaugural rioters.) Second, there is no law guaranteeing the "peaceful transfer of power." Which is why the Constitution provides several weeks between election day and inauguration day with both a state and congressional certification process and opportunities to contest the results. Third, as he brags about the nearly 1,500 J6ers arrested and charged so far for January 6--including at least seven last week during the DNC--most face misdemeanors.

A man targeted by right-wing conspiracy theories about the U.S. Capitol riot was sentenced on Tuesday to a year of probation for joining the Jan. 6, 2021, attack by a mob of fellow Donald Trump supporters. Ray Epps, a former Arizona resident who was driven into hiding by death threats, pleaded guilty in September to a misdemeanor charge. He received no jail time, and there were no restrictions placed on his travel during his probation, but he will have to serve 100 hours of community service. He appeared remotely by video conference and wasn't in the Washington, D.C., courtroom when...

Kevin McCarthy has exclusively given access to the J6 tapes to Tucker Carlson and his Fox News pals. Nationally-syndicated news host Stew Peters is slamming GOP establishment Speaker Kevin McCarthy for refusing to hand more than 40,000 hours of unreleased January 6th security footage over to the American People as promised. Instead, McCarthy has exclusively given the footage, which is said to expose police brutality and federal provocateurs, to Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Kevin McCarthy is covering up the narrative-busting evidence contained in the J6 tapes, which hold more than 40,000 hours of US Capitol security footage taken on...

Update: The January 6 Committee on Thursday unanimously voted to subpoena Trump.
