January 6th: The ultimate "you all got played"
FBI finds no evidence that Trump and his allies were directly involved with organizing the violence of the Capitol riot: report
Quote:
The FBI has not found any evidence that the January 6 assault on the US Capitol was part of an organized plot to overturn the election results, according to a report from Reuters.
Quote:
The report also said that the FBI has "so far found no evidence that [former President Donald Trump] or people directly around him were involved in organizing the violence."
"Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," a former law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told Reuters. "There was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages."
Quote:
More than 570 participants have been arrested by federal officials. Investigators have found that groups such as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys did plan ahead of time to break into the Capitol, but did not engage in much planning beyond that step. Reuters reported that 40 of the defendants are being prosecuted on conspiracy charges, implying a certain amount of planning and coordination.
But prosecutors have generally shied away from alleging a broader plot. Senior Department of Justice officials do not intend to bring forward "seditious conspiracy" charges or even "racketerring" charges, commonly used against organized criminal gangs.
Read that last one again: 570 people have been arrested and a whole 40 were charged with "conspiracy" and not a single one charged with "seditious conspiracy." Like I said from the very beginning and was mocked by the alt-leftists on the board: most people were basically trespassing and that's exactly what almost all of them have been charged with thus far, other than an assault here and there.
"Violent insurrection." LOL!
You are literally a conspiracy theorist if you are still saying stupid shit like this. Remember you're not supposed to disagree with the FBI or say anything bad about them, so get on board already!
Meanwhile a group of violent leftists DID kidnap a local politician a couple of months ago and kept her hostage until she agreed to their demands. You know, the actual definition of insurrection and terrorism.
But don't worry, that hack of an article does throw you all bone with this laughable paragraph:
Quote:
Though the FBI has not found an organized plot or direct involvement by Trump, that does not mean that Trump did not play an important role in instigating the violence. Earlier this year, the House of Representatives impeached the former President on the charge of "incitement of insurrection" after the former President spent weeks promoting conspiracy theories about the results of the 2020 election. On January 6, Trump gave a speech on the Ellipse where he urged supporters to march on the Capitol.
Because as we all know the impeachments of Trump weren't political at all.
