Feds Preview More Serious Charges, Including Sedition, For Capitol Attack
By Matt Shuham January 26, 2021 5:01 p.m.

Washington, D.C.’s top federal prosecutor on Tuesday previewed more, and more complicated, charges for individuals involved in the Capitol attack earlier this month as the pool of evidence from the event continues to grow.
As investigators picked apart tips, video, social media information and other leads for hundreds of distinct case files, D.C.’s Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin said he expected that his office would bring more conspiracy, sedition and assault on law enforcement charges against Capitol attackers.

[...]

“There’s no manpower issue here, we have no issues with the court,” Sherwin said at one point, seemingly refuting a report that authorities were considering not charging certain individuals involved in the siege.

“These numbers are on a steep incline.”

[...]

“We are closely looking at evidence related to the sedition charges,” Sherwin said, noting the charge could result in decades of prison time for those found guilty. “We are working on those cases, and I think the results will bear fruit very soon.”

1. Pudding.

(Where the proof is, theoretically.)

[soothsayer]

2. Glad they're taking it seriously

[SheltieLover]

4. Me too!

[SheltieLover]

3. Actions speak louder than words.

Every person who entered the Capitol should be charged with both officer's deaths!

Just as a starting point.

Build on that!

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. Think of it this way.

50% were caught up in a Trump rally and had no fucking clue that they were breaking the law, much less sedition. They are the Rubes.

35% just fucking hate everyone outside their daily rural cocoon.. Liberals, Blacks, Muslims, Scientists. They are the Anti-socialists.


It's the remaining 15% that I am focused on and I saw them in action at the US Capital on 1.6/21. They are the Insurrectionists for hire.

[SheltieLover]

9. Agreed

However, I prefer them ALL to be charged with felonies.

They did, after all, make a premeditated choice to be there & participate, thereby enabling the smaller percentage who were on truly devious missions.

Prosecuting for felonies would result in:

Maybe a wake up call

Loss of right to legally own guns

LOSS OF VOTING RIGHTS

Getting them.off the streets where they are a clear & present danger.



On edit: presuming convictions. In the meantime, they would all be far too busy to carry out MORE of putin's wishes.

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. They all should be charged, tried and convicted.

It's how we approach sentencing, IMHO.

[SheltieLover]

11. Absolute max for every single one!

Including death penalty, if law allows, imo.

Normally, I am opposed, but for these terrorists, I feel differently.

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. Charge them all and use our best judgement to forgive or pursue.

I stand by my assumptions on the mob make-up. We gain more with forgiveness withe rubes, kick the anti-socialists and make sure we track them into the future. The Real Commando's of the Seditionmust be prosecuted to the extreme.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. That makes sense. Wouldn't be surprised if the evidence eventually supports those numbers.

[Irish_Dem]

5. If there are no sedition charges, then the legal system is looking the other way for white crimes.

[magicarpet]

6. Take it to the top get the ring leaders and master minds.

The ones in the back ground who instigated this marauding band of Fascists hellions.

[theneworiginal]

12. Absolutely. Follow the money, the transportation, the phone records, the politicians

and the assholes who made sure the cops and Guard stood down while it happened. Throw them all in jail.

[Maraya1969]

8. This guy really made my day. All the charges that are coming to these people!

[burrowowl]

18. Let's hope!

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. Get the AG and DAG confirmed and on the job! Nt

[Cetacea]

19. +1000

That should have been the first order of business I would think, but I'm sure Biden knows what he is doing.

[orangecrush]

16. GOOD

[rickyhall]

17. From Trump on down...

[Duppers]

20. Hallelujah!! K&R

Are these traitors finally going to be nailed to the fullest extent for their crimes??!!

And just WHO asked them to do this, senators?
