WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) - The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.

Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.

"Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. "Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages."
 
The events of January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol were not "the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result," according to officials quoted in an exclusive Reuters report published Friday morning.

More specifically, sources report to Reuters that the "FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump."

More to the point, Reuters reports that "the FBI has so far found no evidence that he [President Trump] or people directly around him were involved in organizing the violence, according to the four current and former law enforcement officials."

This new revelation that runs opposite most of the liberal media and Democrat narratives about January 6 comes after federal officials arrested more than 500 alleged participants in the course of their investigation but turned up no central plot organized by President Trump or his administration.

As Reuters explains:

"Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. "Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages."

The only coordination, then, was among smaller groups of organizations not directly affiliated with President Trump and his administration. "Cells of protesters, including followers of the far-right Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups, had aimed to break into the Capitol," Reuters reports, "But they found no evidence that the groups had serious plans about what to do if they made it inside, the sources said."

The FBI has subsequently filed conspiracy charges against 40 individuals who allegedly engaged in some form of planning, though "so far prosecutors have steered clear of more serious, politically-loaded charges that the sources said had been initially discussed by prosecutors, such as seditious conspiracy or racketeering." Rather, "conspiracy charges that have been filed allege that defendants discussed their plans in the weeks before the attack and worked together on the day itself. But prosecutors have not alleged that this activity was part of a broader plot."




IOW, there's basically no reason to believe Trump or his supporters had anything to do with the break-in, and BTW it was NOT an insurrection. That is a baseless, bullshit allegation by the Left.
 
Now that biden and the democrats have embarrassed the U.S. on the international stage, it is time to release the truth about the lies of Jan. 6.......when no one is paying attention......

Maybe this will help the democrat party held political prisoners......

We all know a few dozen unarmed Trumpers almost overthrew the US government without nukes or F-15’s.
 
So they just took advantage of Drumpfs impromptu order to march on the capital and attempt an insurrection?


Wow....you really are stupid..........what part of the truth, facts and reality that this was a rowdy protest and not an insurrection do you either not get, or are simply lying about?

I am going with both, you are dumb, and you are pushing the lie because you are a vile human being...

Free the democrat party political prisoners from Jan. 6!!!!!
