Investigation into US Capitol riot moves into more complicated phase

[JonLP24]

After bringing federal charges against more than 125 people accused of being part of the violent mob that stormed the US Capitol, now comes the hard part.

Law enforcement officials say they are moving from the so-called low-hanging fruit arrests and charges to more complicated cases, focusing on the extremist groups that participated in the attack.

That effort will take months to try to piece together, in part, because unlike some of the early arrests of suspects -- who gleefully posted on social media or even live-streamed their involvement -- many alleged attackers took pains to hide their identities and their involvement.

Prosecutors have said in detention hearings they are working on bringing seditious conspiracy charges -- a prospect that Washington, DC, acting US Attorney Michael Sherwin raised publicly early on.

1. That's why they should've arrested everyone on the spot.

3. If the insurrectionists had been BLM or antifascists, they would have been arrested (or worse).

7. If that had been a black lives matter protest, we would STILL

be pulling bodies out of that building with federal-sized bullet holes in their heads.
And double that number would be sitting in Cuba right now.

4. There was a reason why they didnt. that would have taken time they didnt have. THey were trying to

get them out of there as quickly as possible so they could secure the building.
