DOJ Expands Probe Into 1-6 and Surrounding Events

It was a riot, not a rally. Trump rallied his believers into rioting and smashing their way into the capitol to 'stop the steal'. Or am I mistaken?

And what does any of this have to do with Mrs. Thomas?
 
Trumpers cannot admit that the events of the 6th was an attempt to obstruct Congress, stop the electoral verification, send the country into a Constitutional crisis and keep Trump in power. It was an attempt to thwart an election. They simply cannot do that because if they do everything falls apart for them.
They only cared about keeping traitor trump in power, they didn't give a damn about a constitutional crises, our country or our democracy. They are anti-American inbred trash, enemy within.
 
The House dog and pony show is running out of steam...so they are shifting it over to the DOJ.

shrug...

Doesn't matter. It's all about the narrative, anyway. Just another opportunity for the media to say, "false claims".
Zzzzz new tune dude.. find one
 
So the DOJ is now looking into conspiracy theories.

They heretofore have not found what they thought they would find.

So they are investigating political protests...

And the Democrats like to think they are ones defending democracy.
They are. From the likes of people who defend this garbage
 
That isn't what the DOJ is expanding its probe into it.
They are expanding their probe into the rally itself.
This is part of the process.
Sucks for people like you who want to Billy barr everything
 
You've proven my point.

Now I'LL do it.

You are dismissed.

(watch and see how it's done)

This is like watching the patriots play against the bills in the playoffs.

You being the patriots
 
You've proven my point.

Now I'LL do it.

You are dismissed.

(watch and see how it's done)
You don't have the ability to dismiss.

You are dismissed.
 

Yep-- and there are investigations and prosecutions for those who violated the law, and presumably, the conditions of the permit.
The note to which I responded said there was no permit to rally by the Capitol, and thus Trump in calling for such a march on the Capitol was breaking the law.
We now know that is false.

The larger issue is the subject of the thread-- that the DOJ has apparently expanded its investigation into a lawful protest both originally where it was held and then at the Capitol.

Well that silly Merrick Garland. Why didn't he just check with you first and save the tax payer a bunch of money?
 
Wrong message.

Take part in an insurrection, try to suspend the peaceful transfer of power, threatening lawmakers and screaming to hang the VP, just because you're pissed off your guy lost -- then beware, you will be investigated, tried and thrown in jail.

It's really shameful hearing you people defend traitors. You should be ashamed.
The Left threatened lawmakers, and screamed to hang the duly elected President, and screamed about blowing up the white house and lynching Donald Trump. Nobody was investigated.

You should be ashamed, with your Apologetics to rioters and insurrectionists who, for like a solid year, assaulted federal buildings and federal officers, set fire to police stations, courthouses, etc., tore down statues and monuments, and attacked private citizens, while declaring their hate for this country which they described as fascist, hateful, patriarchal, colonial, fundamentally racist and a collection of "systems of oppression" which must be dismantled, defunded and disrupted, while overblowing a bunch of hicks who acted like asshats and are getting prosecuted.
 

It's about time.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is expanding its probe of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack to include the events leading up to the preceding rally, and the wider conspiracies that fueled the violence, people familiar with the issue told The Washington Post.

Before supporters of former President Trump attacked the Capitol, many participated in a rally that had multiple speakers, including Trump himself.

Sources told the Post the DOJ is now looking to the planning of the rally and the conspiracy theories that surrounded the event.

The rally was based around the false claims that Trump won the 2020 presidential election and that election fraud was the reason President Biden won.

The DOJ has begun issuing subpoenas to investigate the funding and planning of the event as well as who was involved. People familiar with the issue told the Post the subpoenas were issued against those in Trump’s circle but would not say what they requested or who received them.


Good
i hope every single nutter that committed crimes related to the failed 1/6 insurrection is found and punished to the full extent of the law.
Can't imagine one logical reason why any american besides the ones guilty of those crimes would want anything else

Ridiculous, childish comparison.

Nobody was claiming the riots were an insurrection until after Jan 6. Nobody ever cañled rioters insurrectionists until you could use it as a deflection for Jan 6.

This is simply your lame attempt to downplay the treason from your own party.

And those rioters were not neccesarily Democrats. They didn’t waive Biden flags and try to overturn an election they lost. And they too were prosecuted, and rightfuly so.

Stop making excuses for traitors.
 
More politicization of the DOJ. This stuff is getting to be ridiculous. The Perna fellow who committed suicide because of stress over his trail. He didn't break into the capital, he didn't destroy anything, he didn't harm anyone. In fact the evidence shows the capital police escorted him into the building. Now maybe he was trespassing but is 50 months an appropriate sentence for trespassing? Hell, No! We have a more serious case being ignore, Hunter Biden's accepting money from foreign countries. That case is being covered up. If 1-6 violators can be shown to have assaulted police, destroyed property then by all means prosecute and sentence accordingly.
What is wrong with a private citizen accepting money from a foreign country? What crime are you alleging was committed?
 
It's unfortunate. Democrats riot for months, and there are no investigations, because it's mostly peaceful.

One protest gets out of hand in DC, and now we're getting a message sent - if there is a right-leaning protest, beware, you will be investigated.

That isn't what the DOJ is expanding its probe into it.
They are expanding their probe into the rally itself.
It was just reported yesterday that the DOJ has added 130 prosecutors to the 1-6 investigation. Given that 800 dog fighters have already been charged and arrested, I doubt they need that many more to look into the rally itself. They are looking into the entire coup plot. They've had a grand jury for 2 months and people are being subpoenaed.

They are also very interested in the 80 some republicans who illegally forged slates of electors and sent them to the senate as if they were real. I can't predict what will come out of all this, but the circle is tightening on the WH as it should. It will be shown, IMO, that Trump is involved with all of it. One giant conspiracy that likely started a few months before the election when Trump could easily see he was losing. And without Trump's approval, none of this would have moved forward.

And don't forget, he told us he would not accept the outcome of the election unless he won. He also said he would not participate in a peaceful transfer of power. He kept those promises and participated in many attempts to keep Biden out of the WH. Essentially, he's been caught. What the DOJ does with all of it remains to be seen.
