It looks like some Capitol rioters are taking plea deals and agreeing to sell each other out

Federal prosecutors are nearly a month into their investigations into people who stormed the Capitol building on January 6, filing charges against more than 200 people so far.

Court records indicate some of those people may be informing the FBI about other participants, according to The Daily Beast.

The Daily Beast identified three people who had been subjected to a charging instrument called an information, rather than a grand jury indictment.

An information is a type of charging instrument prosecutors typically use when the defendant plans to plead guilty.

"Where we go 1, we go turn state's evidence for a reduced sentence." Or something like that.

or soap box, ballot box, ammo box - use in that order?

and all the other cliches that gun nuts use to justify their massive arsenals?

I thought they were really tough fighters.

You now tell me they are cowardly finks?

Indict some dumb bastard and let him know he’s going to do serious prison time unless he rolls over on a bunch of his pals. Cooperation = reduced sentence.

not to allow them to vote. Remove that passion from them. They may still be violent, but they are going to work to find a new way. Unsure if we can, but if we can take a drivers license from drunk drivers then why not this?

They weren't rioters or protesters, as MSM calls them. They were and are insurrectionists and seditionists.

Kinda fun to think how many not yet arrested must be looking over their shoulder every minute of the day.
