So far, up to this point, how do you think the FBI is doing with rounding up the insurrectionists?

[Stinky The Clown]

I think they're doing a good job. I am not worried, so far, about charges being too lenient. I think more charges will come. I'm not worried about them letting people go. I have not seen evidence of that so far.

What do you think? Good, bad, or indifferent?

[roamer65]

1. Mediocre.

White privilege is showing.

[StarfishSaver]

4. Judges are giving them bail, not the FBI

The FBI is arresting them and locking them up - after that, it's up to the judges and prosecutors.

[roamer65]

6. The video of the one being arrested in Nashville.

https://www.wsmv.com/video/only-on-4---sunday-morning-arrest/video_a21847e5-3686-55b9-9838-b58c5bdb4101.html

I want to know why the agent thought it was so funny.

[StarfishSaver]

8. Seriously?

I have no idea why he's laughing but it looks like the guy he arrested said something funny, so he laughed. So what? I don't care.

What I do care about is that that agent and a lot of other agents tracked down a terrorist in Tennessee, raided his house at dawn, confiscated evidence, arrested him and took him to jail to face federal charges. I don't give a damn that he laughed at something while perp walking the guy out of his house.

2. I'm actually impressed.

I think the FBI has been careful to build solid cases. I’m disheartened that so many have been released by judges pending trial.

[doc03]

3. They should have been rounded up on the spot! nt

[TwilightZone]

9. Not enough manpower and nowhere to take them.

That seems to have been fairly well established, caused by the chaos and confusion in the various law enforcement agencies as a result of Trump's actions and inactions.

[doc03]

10. I saw a COP holding the f---g door for them to walk out. How about blocking the damn doors and

arresting them. If they had the manpower to run them out they had the manpower to put
zip ties on them.

[Takket]

14. That would have led to a massacre

If they had trapped the terrorists inside a bloodbath would have ensued until one side was wiped out. That isn’t how you manage a riot. You disperse the crowd as quickly and safely as possible. Your number one goal is to preserve life.

[doc03]

31. Question: What would have happened if it was Black Lives Matter protestors

that broke down the doors to the capitol and beat COPs to death?

[dware]

34. Answer,

Black Lives Matter wouldn't have broken down the doors and illegally entered the Capitol bldg and carried out the destruction and mayhem, so your question is moot.

[dware]

33. Ya know,

it's easy to sit behind your keyboard and second guess the police that day, however, you weren't there, you have no idea of the terror they were feeling seeing that murderous mob heading towards them and knowing that you are outnumbered and possibly facing a massacre.

Try to put yourself in their shoes and show just a little bit of understanding what they were facing that fateful day.

[pnwmom]

22. How? The National Guard had been ordered not to help them. nt

[orangecrush]

5. The hits just keep on coming!

I love this new FBI playlist!


Rock and Roll, G-Men!!!

[Mr.Bill]

7. I am disappointed they are all being taken alive.

I was really hoping many of them would want to go out in a blaze of glory.

[CanonRay]

11. The FBI is methodical

They work the edges in. Worked with them 23 y. They are relentless have unlimited budget/manpower

[Thekaspervote]

17. Agree..Rachael Maddow wondered tonight why no big names yet. That one is easy, they are

Methodically and carefully building their cases, and that takes time. Those cases have to be unquestionable without a doubt air tight. ..getting the little guys to talk and turn evidence is key.

They are going to take down every last one of them.

[Vivienne235729]

19. I hope and pray to god you are right.

[CanonRay]

20. Yup. Worst thing you can do as an FBI agent is lose a case or create bad publicity

Agents are motivated to cross every t and dot every i.

[StarfishSaver]

28. The big names and more serious charges can't be rushed. One gap and the guy walks

This, as you say, must be done very carefully and methodically. A few weeks won't make a difference in the long run - no one's going to remember if they were arrested on January 7 or February 15. What will matter is that they are brought up on airtight charges and nailed in a solid case.

I'm patient. I can wait.

[StarfishSaver]

30. People too often assume that if we can't see exactly what they're doing minute-by-minute

they must not be doing anything.

As you well know from you own long personal experience, that definitely isn't the case.

[Takket]

12. I'm impressed how quickly it is going

And how many of the worst offenders they have tracked down just from grainy photos. A lot of patriots stepping up and helping FBI by IDing these scumbags too.

This is one of the largest crime scenes in history. A difficult task to find everyone.

[brush]

13. They're arresting a lot of little guys. I hope they're able to squeeze from them...

who are the people connected with trump and family, Bannon, Stone, Brooks, Gosar, Biggs, Giuliani etc.

They all knew what was coming.

And Alexander Ali needs to be found and arrested. He has information.

[Eyeball_Kid]

16. Bannon is a no brainer. He advertised his desire for a coup. I just read it.

He made relevant statements on the day before the insurrection.

[brush]

25. Yes. I hope they're gathering more info before pulling all the big guys in.

It was all planned.

[StarfishSaver]

29. That's not enough

They are building solid cases against these people. We need to be patient.

[Eyeball_Kid]

15. No big fish. n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

23. About the "no big fish" thing . . . .

. . . . . . If you're going to take a shot at the king, you better get him on the first try.

That applies to any of the big fish. The angry sheep are easy. The kings have resources. The sheep are pretty much on their own. Some of the worst of the sheep will have cases built against the incrementally. The kings' cases will likely come all in one legal nuclear bomb.

[Jeebo]

18. I wouldn't know how to assess or measure that.

But I do expect that they'll be rounding these lunatics up for months.

21. The FBI is offering a big reward for the would-be bomber

which tells me they're serious about this.

https://www.wric.com/washington-dc/fbi-offering-reward-for-information-on-pipe-bomb-suspect/#:~:text=There%20is%20a%20reward%20of,conviction%20of%20the%20attempted%20bomber.

The FBI is searching for someone suspected of placing pipe bombs in D.C. on Wednesday. There is a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the location, arrest and conviction of the attempted bomber.

[Stinky The Clown]

24. The $50K is now up to $100K.

[frogmarch]

26. Good! Even the bomber's friends won't

want to pass up that amount of money.

[kentuck]

27. Perhaps Christopher Wray is finally realizing that he can no longer be fired by Donald Trump?

He was walking on eggshells for 2 or 3 years.

Maybe he can now do his job?

[malaise]

32. Good job

The shit will soon hit the fan

[Stinky The Clown]

36. That's what I'm thinking, too. Anyone inside the building is in the "little fish" category

The Big Fish are the organizers and inciters. Getting airtight cases against them will be more difficult.

[leftyladyfrommo]

35. I am hoping that knowing that they are being identified

and charged with really serious crimes that result in losing their jobs and facing serious jail time will stop a lot of this stupid or violent behavior.
