Days after a deadly insurrection at the Capitol, Defense Department officials are unsure how many, if any, active-duty troops took part in the Jan. 6 riots.


Finding out how many, and what to do about them, is easier said than done.

“...investigations into service members fall under the services,” a defense official told Military Times on Monday. “If the member is no longer in the military it would fall under DoJ”.

2. That's what I'm thinking!

At least for active ones.

Retired must be court martialed & stripped of ALL benefits!

6. Cellphone and wifi hits from the building were all logged

I haven’t heard much about cctv but would really be surprised if they didn’t have that as well.

I’m guessing investigators are now looking at who is talking to who after the fact and looking through social media content.

The people they don’t have the goods on yet may he more dangerous than the ones they do.
