----------Some of the violent offenders about whom the FBI is seeking public tips to identify or locate include Evan Neumann, Jonathan Daniel Pollock, AFOs #91, #292, #371, #96, and #383. AFO #91 uses what appears to be a stick to strike multiple officers numerous times while in the doorway of the Lower West Terrace, commonly referred to as the tunnel. AFOs #292, #371, and #383 are all shown on video charging at and assaulting officers, and they appear to grab and attempt to take possession of the officers’ batons.

Smith's got at least 20 on his Special Counsel team. That's all I can tell you.

When you don't see results, take a look at the "News" section of the DOJ daily, and see what other justice it's meting out.

Bitter?

I just think we're so used to getting satisfaction on such a short timeline that we can't get used to the sheer scale of this first in history coup and bringing the seditionists to justice.

I doubt Trump golfed. I'm pretty sure he had his makeup removed, ate his nothingburger and took a nap.

The democracy undermining fascist party of government failed to arrest them on the spot, and lost to the democratic governing party of government to clean it up.


We have to stop complaining and support them. None of this anger and venting is helpful at all.
