More than 300 people now face federal charges in connection with the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill and at least 280 people have been arrested, the Justice Department announced Friday.

"The investigation into those responsible is moving at a speed and scale that's unprecedented, and rightly so. Those responsible must be held to account, and they will be," acting Deputy Attorney General John Carlin told reporters.

Those figures come over a month after a mob of supporters of former President Trump stormed the Capitol in an unsuccessful attempt to halt Congressâ€™s certification of the Electoral College.

The riot led to the deaths of several people, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, and shook lawmakersâ€™ and security officialsâ€™ confidence in the Capitol complexâ€™s safety.

Among the rioters were members of several right-wing militia groups, including the Proud Boys and the Three Percenters.

Maybe. Or they were just expressing their displeasure. I doubt any seriously believed they could stop the process.

I also find it hard to believe 300 people entered the Capitol.

They know it's a lie. But it will accompany every rat media story on 1/6 from now until kingdom come.

And I wonder if they are arresting those whom the Capitol Hill police actively admitted.

Q: How many of the charges were for Jaywalking?
