They did and at least 13 of them were in Federal Court today. This from Wednesdays Insurrection. Many more to come.

If they had been black people there would be hundreds in custody right now.
I am not impressed.

They are not done with their investigations yet. That includes the one on trump.

Sorry I won't bother you with any of the details again.

Yes of course I understand that nature of federal investigations.
And how they unfold slowly at times.

I appreciate any new information on this process.

My points:

1. The FBI screwed up badly already. They should have passed on intel to relevant
authorities on the ground. This attack was public knowledge for weeks.
2. Other authorities let the white crowds into the Capitol building and even after federal violations did not arrest many folks at all.
3. So far I am not impressed, but I am willing to suspend final judgement until as you say investigations are completed.

Thank you for you input.

I don't know what to expect.

As for the Insurrection...just don't know. Yet hearing about the gear they were carrying and the attempted hanging of an AP reporter and a call for the same for Pence...well. Also the Capitol police opened the gates for them. On video, they let them in. There was a lot of insider shit going on and that came directly from the top.
