Why bother with the investigation? The Left has already decided what happened that day. No need to call witnesses. In fact, participants are already being jailed. Just impeach Trump again, right? Deja Vu all over again.

I was NOT thinking of the INSURRECTION,I was thinking about the LEGAL cases against Trump/Org and
friends.....THEY are convening a grand jury as we speak and will be reviewing ALL of the business dealings
of Trump....that reviewing will be THREE DAYS A WEEK FOR SIX MONTHS.....Q4 will be interesting.

Jan. 6 was, in reality, a violent and tragic day at the Capitol. Urged on by Mr. Trump’s lie of a stolen election, rioters stormed the Capitol, where Congress was meeting to formalize Mr. Biden’s victory. They chanted “Hang Mike Pence,” threatened to shoot Speaker Nancy Pelosi and forced lawmakers to evacuate the building in a scene of terror and mayhem.

Afterward, police officers recovered long guns, Molotov cocktails, explosive devices and zip ties. District of Columbia police officers were called in to help as the Capitol Police force was overrun. Ultimately, nearly 140 officers were injured and at least seven people died around the time of or in connection with the riot, including two officers who took their own lives.

Some officers without helmets suffered brain injuries, one officer had two cracked ribs, two shattered spinal discs, and another was stabbed with a metal fence stake, according to the union that represents the Capitol Police.

On Jan. 6, prosecutors said, Thomas Robertson and Jacob Fracker, his then-colleague with the Rocky Mount Police Department, stormed the Capitol and posed for a photo in front of a statue of John Stark. (U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia)

In January, a federal judge agreed to release Thomas Robertson, a former Rocky Mount, Va., police officer facing multiple charges over his alleged participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

But Judge G. Michael Harvey’s release conditions were clear: Robertson could not own any firearms, destructive devices or dangerous weapons while his case was pending. If he owned any guns, he must relocate them within two days.

Days after his release, authorities found eight firearms at his Ferrum, Va. home, according to court documents. The judge gave Robertson a second chance, reminding him of his release conditions.

Then, last month, authorities found a loaded M4 carbine and a partially assembled pipe bomb while conducting an authorized search at his home, court records state. Robertson is also accused of buying 34 firearms online and “transporting them in interstate commerce while under felony indictment,” prosecutors said.

Now they are asking the judge to revoke Robertson’s release order and issue an arrest warrant for violating his pretrial release terms a second time.

It would be comical if it wasn't true.

It's not, so there's that.

FBI launches flurry of arrests over attacks on journalists during Capitol riot

Nearly six months after the U.S. Capitol riot, the Justice Department has begun arresting a new category of alleged criminals — those who attacked reporters or damaged their equipment as journalists documented the violence perpetrated by supporters of President Donald Trump.

The first such charge came last week, when 43-year-old Shane Jason Woods of Illinois was charged with engaging in violence on the Capitol grounds Jan. 6, as well as assaulting a law enforcement officer. Authorities say Woods was caught on video knocking down a cameraman.

The arrests come at a contentious moment for the Justice Department and First Amendment advocates, who have sharply criticized federal law enforcement for secretly issuing subpoenas of reporters’ phone records during the Trump administration.
