Capitol riot: New radio and video footage shows a coordinated attack and officers' restraint

New police radio dispatches and security footage from the January 6 US Capitol riot paint an even sharper picture of how the insurrectionists at times showed little fear of the police as they launched a large and coordinated attack.

CNN reviewed more than 800 videos and audio files, including radio dispatches and security footage, that the House impeachment managers obtained and submitted as evidence for former President Donald Trump's second impeachment trial.

The House impeachment team obtained the surveillance videos from Capitol Police and the radio transmissions from Washington, DC's Metropolitan Police for the trial, according to a source familiar with the discussions, which were entered into the trial's evidence. House impeachment managers -- limited in the time they could present their case -- used specific moments to present their arguments during the trial, showing horrific violence against police and the movements of attackers as they nearly reached lawmakers and Vice President Mike Pence.

Security camera footage near the House chamber shows the rioters waving in reinforcements to come around the corner. Another video shows more than 150 rioters charging through a breached entrance in just a minute-and-a-half. In yet another surveillance tape, nine men in matching tactical gear move as a unit inside the Capitol, at about the same time the FBI says members of the militant right-wing group the "Oath Keepers," one of several groups that federal authorities have implicated since the riots, made their way inside.

Incitement charges are fine, but I'm more interested in including Trump, Stone, etc. in conspiracy charges to stop the count.
