FBI Director Christopher Wray vowed Thursday to "hold accountable those who participated in yesterday's siege of the Capitol" after a pro-Trump mob overtook the building, forcing evacuations.

"The violence and destruction of property at the U.S. Capitol building yesterday showed a blatant and appalling disregard for our institutions of government and the orderly administration of the democratic process," Wray said in his statement.

"As we've said consistently, we do not tolerate violent agitators and extremists who use the guise of First Amendment-protected activity to incite violence and wreak havoc," he continued. "Such behavior betrays the values of our democracy. Make no mistake: With our partners, we will hold accountable those who participated in yesterday's siege of the Capitol."

Wray announced that the bureau "has deployed our full investigative resources" and is working with law enforcement partners "to aggressively pursue those involved in criminal activity" on Wednesday.

1. I hope they get all who entered the capitol

not just the violent ones, or just the vandals. All of them had no respect for boundaries, law, government or personal property.

They are so stupid and live in their own little media bubble they truly thought they would be celebrated.
