FBI still after 'worst of the worst' in Capitol riot as new arrests come at steady pace.

More than 440 people have been charged with taking part in the Capitol siege, coming from all but six states with the most coming from Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida, in that order.

Four months after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, FBI agents maintain a steady pace of arresting people accused of taking part, as one of the largest criminal investigations in American history keeps growing.

"We're not done rounding up the worst of the worst," said one law enforcement official. "We're not slowing down."

More than 440 people have been charged with taking part in the Capitol siege, coming from all but six states — Mississippi, North and South Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wyoming. The largest number come from Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida, in that order.

Men outnumber women among those arrested by 7 to 1, with an average age of 39, according to figures compiled by the Program on Extremism at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. A total of 44 are military veterans.

and has not been spotted in months. He knew to get out while the rest of the fools thought they could just go home and back to life as usual...as if invading and trashing the Capitol then having nice meal is just a normal and pleasurable day trip.

They didn't expect to get arrested but Ali did.

Someone will rat his ass out. I expect the Feds will at some point announce a reward for information about his whereabouts.

That still leaves 30% that are Deplorables and voted for the other guy.

I think that many of them will take plea deals. Costs a lot to pay an attorney throughout a trial.

I'd rather see the trials of the ones who organized and coordinated the coup attempt, right up to the human being imposter himself.

"Men outnumber women among those arrested by 7 to 1"

Who cares that there are more men than women being arrested?

Are we tracking black or white or gay or straight or trans?

Demographics mean nothing. This is all about arresting criminals!
