Insurrection fallout

[commando]

Wait, I thought some twitter lady said the only arrests were for curfew violations??

all of the early arrests were.   these arrests happening now and in the future might carry a little more weight.

Not totally sure but if they have a violent entry charge, that would seem to fit with insurrection, because I think you have to have violence for that charge as well.  Unless they are saying there was not violence towards a person?  I don't know.

I'm speaking specifically about them being charged with insurrection under 18 USC Section 2383:

Thread on right wing coup attempts in 1930s Japan. It goes on for a while, but the short version is basically no one was ever  really punished so they kept happening over and over again.

Essentially a metaphor for the entire Trump administration.

What is the point of the U.S. domestic surveillance program under the NSA if they 1) didn't see this coming, or 2) saw it coming and didn't stop it?

Heads should roll for this along several levels of government. Entire departments may need to be excised from the IC.

This is either a colossal failure or tacit permission. There's really no gray area here.

Where's the insurrection charge?

I wonder if they are keeping a few other potential charges in their back pocket for after January 21.

Easiest investigation ever. When the criminals talk about the planning of the crime on social media, film themselves participating in the crime, then post the videos of themselves engaging in the crime, all over social media - it usually results in a pretty smooth investigation.

Another video of the lead up to the QANON terrorist being shot. Two things are glaring.

1. All these people are terrorists. 

2. Capitol Police did a horrid job, luckily (I assume) Secret Service was there.
