Members phkrause Posted January 7 Author Members Share Posted January 7 Capitol riot, three years later: Hundreds of convictions, yet one major mystery is unsolved Members of far-right extremist groups, former police officers and an Olympic gold medalist swimmer. They are among the hundreds convicted in the prosecution of the Jan 6, 2021, riot. Washington’s federal courthouse remains flooded with trials, hearings and sentencings stemming from what has become the largest criminal investigation in American history. And the hunt for suspects is far from over. Read more. What to know: What are the numbers? Over 1,230 people have been charged with federal crimes in the riot. 730 people have pleaded guilty to charges, while an additional 170 have been convicted of at least one charge at a trial, according to an Associated Press database. Only two defendants have been acquitted of all charges in trials decided by a judge rather than a jury. What about the pipe bomber? One of the biggest remaining mysteries is the identity of the person who placed two pipe bombs outside the offices of Republican and Democratic national committees the day before the attack. Investigators have spent thousands of hours conducting interviews, combing through evidence and have offered a $500,000 reward for information, but no suspect has been found. What’s going on in the Supreme Court? Justices agreed last month to hear one rioter’s challenge to prosecutors’ use of the charge of obstruction of an official proceeding, which refers to the disruption of Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election victory. The justices will likely make a decision by early summer and the outcome could impact hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants.

Members phkrause Posted January 7 Author Members Share Posted January 7 👀 Rising GOP sympathy for rioters Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images Republicans have grown more sympathetic to Capitol rioters — and less likely to say Trump bears responsibility for the Jan. 6 insurrection than three years ago, Axios' Natalie Daher and April Rubin write from a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll. In 2021 polling, 27% of Republicans said Trump bears a great deal or a good amount of responsibility for the attack. That dropped to 14%. 72% of Republicans in this week's poll said it's "time to move on" from the attack, compared to 43% of U.S. adults overall and 14% of Democrats. 25% percent of Americans — including 34% of Republicans and 13% of Democrats — said it's "probably" or "definitely" true that the FBI instigated the attack — a false concept promoted by right-wing media and repeatedly denied by federal law enforcement, The Post notes.

Members phkrause Posted March 18 Author Members Share Posted March 18 Trump's doomsday vision Former President Trump's rally in Dayton, Ohio, opened yesterday with an announcer's voice directing the packed MAGA crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the horribly and unfairly treated Jan. 6 hostages." Why it matters: Trump's honoring of supporters prosecuted for storming the Capitol has become a tradition at his rallies — and a fitting prelude to the type of provocative speeches likely to define his campaign for the next seven months. After standing and saluting the J6 Prison Choir's alternate rendition of the national anthem, Trump praised Jan. 6 defendants as "unbelievable patriots" and vowed to help the "hostages" on his first day in office. What followed was a free-wheeling, headline-seizing speech in which Trump painted an apocalyptic vision of an America overrun by immigrant "animals" if President Biden is re-elected. What they're saying: "I don't think you're going to have another election, or certainly not an election that's meaningful," Trump predicted if he doesn't win in November. The big picture: The Biden campaign sees these rallies — with yesterday's intended to boost Ohio businessman Bernie Moreno ahead of Tuesday's Senate GOP primary — as a gold mine for ad material. With many voters only now tuning back in for the general election, Biden is seeking to draw a sharp contrast with Trump on policy, rhetoric and optimism about America's future. Key to that effort is a rapid-response team responsible for clipping and blasting out videos of Trump tossing red meat to his MAGA base with insults, obscenities and dehumanizing rhetoric about immigrants. Screenshot via X Between the lines: The cycle of viral sound bites can sometimes play directly into Trump's hands. After the Biden campaign issued a statement condemning Trump's warning of a "bloodbath" if he loses, Republicans accused critics and the media of taking his comments out of context. The Trump campaign says the former president was referring not to political violence, but to how Biden's policies could impact the auto industry and the U.S. economy. "He always walks up to the edge on that rhetoric," Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "But sometimes the mainstream media, whether they want to or not, can't resist and they go just a little bit too far." What to watch: Now that most of Trump's Republican skeptics have grudgingly accepted he'll be the nominee, they'll face new pressure to defend some of the former president's more extreme rhetoric. But plenty of former Trump allies have refused to do that — including former Vice President Mike Pence, who shocked the political world when he said Friday he "cannot in good conscience" endorse Trump. "It's just unacceptable," Pence told CBS News' "Face the Nation" when asked today about Trump's description of Jan. 6 prisoners as "hostages."
