A Taxonomy of the [Visible] January 6 "Crime Scene" Investigation

From empty wheel - a great analysis of what is happening.

[link:https://www.emptywheel.net/2021/12/08/a-taxonomy-of-the-visible-january-6-crime-scene-investigation/|

"DOJ has arrested close to 700 people (probably more than that once you consider cases that haven’t been unsealed). Those defendants generally fit into the following categories, all of which are non-exclusive, meaning lots of people fall into more than one category:

Militia conspirators and militia associates
Assault defendants
Mobilized local networks
Other felony defendants
Misdemeanants
Organizer inciters
...

The investigation at the crime scene is not the only investigation into January 6 going on. Merrick Garland made it clear DOJ was following the money. The FBI conducted investigative steps targeting QAnon just days after the riot. Daily Beast broke the news of a grand jury investigation into Sidney Powell’s grifting, an investigation that may be assisted by recriminations between her, Mike Flynn, and Patrick Byrne.

But the investigation building off of the crime scene will proceed, or not, based on DOJ’s ability to build cases against the organizer inciters."

How many black pastors do we need?

All of them.
When a black man is HUNTED, cornered and slaughtered and the killers are allowed by the police to go home and wash up...we need them all.

Jill Biden First Lady project?

I know she's going to keep her job, but if she takes on a First Lady project, I hope it has to do with promoting news literacy and critical thinking in this country. We are losing ground because many people are so gullible. What do y'all think?

I worked in HR for a medium sized manufacturing company

In the Chicago area. One of the guys in another office came over and told us about a plane hitting a building and him being kind of a jackass we didn't know whether to believe it or not. Reality soon sunk in. One woman had a teenage daughter that was on a field trip in downtown Chicago that day, she was beside herself, not knowing what was going on and if there would be more cities targeted. Another woman had a cousin that worked in WTC at Cantor Fitzgerald, she was so upset someone drove her home. I remember the internet was absolutely jammed and it was hard to get any news. I did my best to work through the day. Once I got home, I poured a drink, lit 4 candles on our balcony and and sat out there until they burned all the way down.
