As I said yesterday: it wasn't necessary to hold up clearing the Capitol Building in order to arrest everybody immediately.

1. Make sure the trial is in DC

no excuse for change of venue....
the entire country was impacted by these terrorists.

[treestar]

15. That is where the offense occurred

so it's the natural venue.

[Bluethroughu]

16. Yes!

[VA_Jill]

2. I hope

they didn't hold his head down when they put him in the cop car.

[SCantiGOP]

3. Wonder if he still has the big grin?

[Cobalt Violet]

4. I was hoping he would be charged with murder.

Maybe the charges can be upgraded? Maybe he will continue to have more white male privileged.

[displacedtexan]

5. I hope they searched for items other than that envelope.

Laptops were stolen from Dem leadership offices.

[Bluethroughu]

9. I saw a live stream where he opened a letter on camera.

What kind of letter I don't know. It was not an envelope.

[displacedtexan]

22. Yikes! I just saw him holding up her custom mailing envelope.

That guy's some piece of work!

[Bluethroughu]

30. He was holding a letter that

He unfolded and had paragraph print on the outside of it. It looked old or yellowed. Who knows what it was. They have compromised our security and they would sell us out for pennies on the dollar.

Treason would apply if they give or sell anything to our adversary foreign government.

[displacedtexan]

32. We're lucky that they're so freaking stupid.

They can't keep from bragging on social media.

[Bluethroughu]

6. How about insurrection and sedition

This man was part of a crowd that killed a police officer, and threatened to kill the leaders of our government, fuck him. When the Representative mobrooks asked the crowd a few times if they were ready to give up their possessions and lives, he agreed and headed to the capital! He's a terrorist!

A very stupid terrorist. Prison for a very long time.

[Dawson Leery]

7. What do all these inbreds look like deplorable Darryl Worley?

[RealityCheque]

8. Slap on the wrist?

“Barnett was charged with entering and remaining on restricted grounds, violent entry and theft of public property”. Really ??????

[SoCalNative]

14. Those are initial charges

give LE time to build their cases, please. They have to be arrested for something to get them in the system. Then more charges can be added at a later date.

[RealityCheque]

21. Great point!

[DeminPennswoods]

28. Exactly

They'll be getting search warrants for his home and phone so figure Feds will be able to figure out how much coordination there was, if there were co-conspirators and who they were.

This was just easy, initial proveable cause to arrest him.

[vlyons]

10. That asshole stole a laptop from the Speaker's office

Obviously not the brightest bulb in the marquee.

[Kablooie]

11. I heard these guys will be charged with the lesser crimes just to get them in custody.

Once they are in custody they will work on charging them with sedition, inssurection, etc.
It's more difficult to charge them with these serious crimes so they will take more time to do so.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Most of those serious crimes have to be charged by indictment,

so they have to charge them first with those lesser crimes in order to bust them and gather evidence to support an indictment.

[Mossfern]

12. Did they forget about sedition?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Major crimes have to be charged by indictment, which takes time.

Bust these goons for the lesser crimes related to trespassing so they have them in custody while getting ready to indict them for the big stuff.

[Mossfern]

24. Ahh.....

strategic.

[randr]

13. Check his DNA

Man may have used halls for restroom.

[backscatter712]

17. Escalate the charges to sedition, insurrection, and treason.

[temporary311]

25. And Felony Murder.

[backscatter712]

26. YES!

[Johnny2X2X]

20. Getting arrested on a Friday means you sit in jail all weekend before even seeing a judge

Now they also might transport him to DC.

There will be bail, he will get out when he's arraigned, but him spending the next 3-5 days behind bars is just a warming thought. Justice is swift for someone this dumb.

[Paladin]

23. That photo of him in Pelosi's office ought to be put to use.

Copies of it should be hung in every headquarters of every law enforcement entity responsible for maintaining order in D.C.---just as a reminder of what happens when people don't do their jobs.

[obamanut2012]

27. Theft of mail will be added, too

They will throw everything at these folks so they can get a plea deal in exchange for bigger fish.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

31. And get his social media logs, email, and phone/text logs.

[cayugafalls]

29. So what? None of those charges are related to Sedition or Insurrection.

I fully expect this rat fucker to walk...he's white and redneck.

Fuck him.
