Justice grinds on:

FBI arrests three January 6 defendants in Florida after prolonged search (CNN)

"The FBI on Saturday arrested three people in Florida who were charged in connection with the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, and were considered fugitives after fleeing from law enforcement.

Jonathan Daniel Pollock, Olivia Michele Pollock and Joseph Daniel Hutchinson III were taken into custody early Saturday morning, according to a press release from the FBI. They are scheduled to appear in federal court in Ocala, Florida, on Monday.

The arrests come on the third anniversary of the attack on the Capitol. The legal system is still grappling with how to handle the hundreds of individuals who stormed the Capitol to keep then-President Donald Trump in the White House."
...
"Over 1,200 Americans have been criminally charged for their alleged actions during the riot, and more than 890 have been found guilty of federal crimes, according to the Justice Department. More than half of those found guilty have been sentenced to prison time."
....
"Thousands of images are still plastered on the FBI’s “Most Wanted” site for individuals accused of participating in the attack. And more than 80 people are still wanted for acts of violence at the Capitol."


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Its interesting. The other day I came across a story (and video) of a finder of people who were involved in the Jan 5 thing. Apparently the FBI has a bunch of folks finding them. It was pretty interesting. I would post it but couldn't find it again. Just thought I would mention it .....

A lot fo the J6'ers have been convicted of interrupting an official proceeding. Currently, there is a court challenge to breaking this law. The court case before the SCOTUS is Joseph W. Fischer v. United States.

Fischer raises the issue of whether the Department of Justice has been improperly using a law originally aimed at curbing financial crimes to prosecute Jan. 6 defendant Joseph Fischer. If the Court rules in Fischer's favor, it would undermine Smith's use of the law against Trump, as well as other Jan. 6 defendants.

In the D.C. case, two of the four indictments relate to interrupting an official proceeding. The other two are: Conspiracy to defraud the United States and Conspiracy against Rights.

Smith can still supersede those indictments with seditious conspiracy (the planning of an insurrection.) Four J6'ers have been found guilty of that crime.
