Wow, 900 search warrants, 15,000 hours of surveillance footage from 14 federal agencies, 1600 electronic devices, 210,000 trips, and 80,000 witness interviews. That's a lot. I hope they prosecute individuals deserving.Doesn't sound like it's "falling apart"....but then, that's the Gateway Pundit for you.
Federal prosecutors have begun seeking 60-day delays across a series of Capitol riot cases, calling the probe “likely the most complex investigation ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice.”Prosecutors seek a slowdown in Capitol attack cases, calling probe the ‘most complex’ in history

In a nine-page filing lodged in multiple cases Friday morning, U.S. attorneys handling cases stemming from the Jan. 6 insurrection cited the rapidly growing roster of defendants and the enormous cache of evidence they must sift through to get a complete picture of the crimes committed that day.
“The investigation and prosecution of the Capitol Attack will likely be one of the largest in American history,” prosecutors said, “both in terms of the number of defendants prosecuted and the nature and volume of the evidence.”
That evidence, they said, includes findings of more than 900 search warrants executed in nearly every state. It also includes more than 15,000 hours of surveillance and body-worn camera footage supplied by some of the 14 federal and local law enforcement agencies that participated in the Capitol response — from the FBI to the Secret Service to the Arlington, Va., police department.
Authorities are also combing through 1,600 electronic devices, conducting hundreds of searches of text messages from multiple providers, and reviewing 210,000 tips and 80,000 witness interviews.....
By the way, how many search warrants, hours of surveillance footage from how many federal agencies, and how many electronic devices, and how many trips and how many witnesses did they use to search for all those responsible for the 8 months of violence, burning, and destruction we saw?
By the way, I completely disagree with the fbi using phone records to find people. That's invasion of privacy, and if I'm not mistaken, people who were simply in the area that day and not part of the riot are having agents show up at their door.
