Garland vows prosecutions 'at any level' over Jan. 6
By Rebecca Beitsch and Harper Neidig - 01/05/22 03:27 PM EST

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday defended the Justice Department’s approach to prosecuting those involved in the Jan. 6 riot, signaling the potential for charges for those who never set foot in the Capitol.

“The actions we have taken thus far will not be our last. The Justice Department remains committed to holding all January six perpetrators at any level, accountable under law, whether they were present that day, or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy. We will follow the facts wherever they lead,” Garland said on the eve of the attack's one-year anniversary.

The attorney general’s remarks came as Democratic lawmakers have voiced impatience with the Justice Department’s apparent unwillingness to target leaders who may have prompted the attack on the Capitol.

charges for those who never set foot in the Capitol.

What charges would those be? Does he know the meaning of the word "trespassing"?

Mass jaywalking event...

Political suppression at its finest.  Goering and Hitler would be so proud of their little understudies.

And, once again, I am so damned glad McConnell kept Garland off the Supreme Court.

[Smokin Joe]

I am SO glad this sh*tbird did not end up on the SCOTUS bench.

[DefiantMassRINO]

That implies there is a conspiracy or RICO investigation under way.  These would require proof of intent to break laws.

What are the alleged crime(s) being investigated and potentially charged?  Jaywalking?  Trespassing?  Destruction of Federal Property?  Interference of a Congressional proceeding?  Sedition?  Treason?  Theft of Federal Property?  Assault and Battery upon Federal officials?  Arson?

Many lawyers will be parsing many words and phrases, and finding different meanings.

Been one year since the pipe bombs were planted at the DNC and RNC. How is it possible that the FBI has not been able to identify down who this person is?

What kind of f**ked-up world is this, where an AG threatens to prosecute people who weren't even there and therefore committed no crime? I am so sickened by this.

I am, too.  And I don't know what to do about it. 

Why isn't GOP leadership pointng this out and demanding an explanation??

... January six perpetrators at any level, accountable under law,...

Translation.... gonna get Trump and will dig/lie/bribe to do it

Let's see; Kevin McCarthy is worthless and Mitch McConnell is even more worthless.

I don't know if there is anything anyone can do about what's going on -- too much corruption on both sides of the aisle.

Unfortunately true. 'They' are going to ensure that Trump will never be able to seek a 2nd term.

Good question but a better one is why did the GOP confirm this jerk

[240B]

The difference between Democrats and Republicans on display.
Sessions slept under his desk for two years until Barr took his cot.
When you give Democrats any kind of power, they immediately turn into little Hitlers.
When you give Republicans power, all they want to do is to duck and dodge and to wait out the paychecks.

[dfwgator]

Unfortunately true. 'They' are going to ensure that Trump will never be able to seek a 2nd term.

To that I say, "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."  Since I believe as of now DeSantis would have a much better chance than Trump of winning, and I believe he does run, if Trump doesn't.

Federal authorities won't say why armed Capitol rioters disappeared from FBI's most wanted list
by Andrew Kerr, Investigative Reporter |
 | January 06, 2022 06:45 AM

Federal authorities won't explain why three men who participated in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, have mysteriously disappeared from the FBI's Capitol Violence Most Wanted list.

One unidentified man wore an earpiece during the riot and was filmed carrying what appeared to be a concealed handgun on his left hip. The man was pictured on the FBI's most wanted list for over five months until he was removed without explanation on the same day the New York Times reported an FBI informant was at the Capitol on Jan. 6.  ...

I think we all could guess.

[catfish1957]

POS Garland has a vendetta against any conserative who kept him from his SCOTUS appointment.

He'll need to be in the first group of socialist that go to trial......

There's a Fairly Big Indication about who might have been involved.

Release the Capitol video--all of it.

That won't happen, because by the end of the review, every informant, undercover, and agent involved would be 'made', and they were likely in the vanguard, or shouting from the sidelines to fire up the crowd (much of which did not take).

With so called conservatives like Cruz going full RINO wet noodle on us?  Good luck with that

It won't happen, just because the scam would be exposed, along with the Agents, CIs, and other informants and contractors that did the dirty work and led the crowd.

IN Cruz' case you got to wonder what went down that he would make him willfully commit political suicide.

ONE YEAR AGO AT THIS HOUR:

A suspected pipe bomb is sitting undetected outside Republican National Cmte headquarters.  Another is near Democratic headquarters

Well, someone detected it, or there wouldn't be a photo. But Merrick Garland is too busy to bother prosecuting the FBI operative perpetrator.

Prior to Jan6, citizens were innocent until proven guilty and governments were presumed corrupt wherever there was a lack of transparency.

After Jan6, that reversed. Now we assume protestors are insurrectionists and elections that can't be fully audited are fair.— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) January 6, 2022
