Surely most every rioter who entered the US Capitol Building was carrying a phone. Couldn't the FBI be able to trace all those phones that pinged inside?

I AM NOT SURE ALL THOSE WHO ENTERED THE BUILDING DAMAGED IT..ooops...

it is a public building it is owned by the people...not the members who sit in there....

to charge everyone I think would be unfair...the cameras did a good job of catching those who were there to destroy... even the pictures posted by the vandals were a bit of a giveaway..

They should all be prosecuted. They were complicit in the murder of a cop by American law which says that any person accompanying perpetrators is guilty by association.

They entered illegally, cods.

You can't just walk into the Capitol building.

It's not like a public library.

Even the ones who didn't smash windows or break down doors are guilty of a serious federal crime: "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful entry".

Trespass really. No big deal. Maybe not even that, i saw a video of a government official letting the protestors in. One cop took them for a tour of the building and posed for selfies, they were allowed to enter.

That's only 13 of the terrorists.

In addition to them, approximately 40 terrorists have been arrested and charged in Superior Court with offenses including, but not limited to, unlawful entry, curfew violations, and firearms-related crimes.

And that's just the start.

More terrorists will be arrested, and more charges will be laid.

Life is good   [smiley=beer.gif]

They will nearly all get non custodial sentences.

50 Terrorist attacks planned right across the nation.

It's meant to go down this Sunday.

I just hope no more police officers are murdered.

If a few of the terrorists cop a bullet in the neck?  Meh   ::)

Sad, but true.

"If Nancy Pelosi was carrying a gun, Trump's terrorists would never have been able to brutally murder that police officer by bashing his skull in with a fire extinguisher."
