The people who erected the infamous gallows and noose on the west front of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, began their work in the predawn hours that day, according to newly released videos obtained by CBS News.

"A report by a GOP-led U.S. House subcommittee said the perpetrators remain unaccounted for by prosecutors."

GOP-led. Oh boy.

If it wasn't for the gang that couldn't legislate, I'd say this meant we'd have them any day now.

Sounds like fodder for those who, mistakenly, believe Jan 6 was a setup by the FBI. At least until they can actually identify these ------. Same goes with whoever planted the bomb.

"The videos illustrate how a crew of people rolled pieces down major streets in plain sight, in the predawn hours before the Capitol siege."

Yes, but they were almost certainly white people, so of course they went about their work undisturbed.

Something fishy about this story.

The FBI Lab in Quantico could have these perps identified within a matter of hours.

@#4 ... The FBI Lab in Quantico could have these perps identified within a matter of hours. ...

I don't know about that.

There's been a massive grass-roots effort to assist federal law enforcement in identifying J6 perps.

Many of the recent prosecutions have been due to ordinary citizens looking through the mounds of video and helping the Feds to identify suspects.

I look at it this way, with all the crimes apparently being committed by Republicans these past few years, does Federal Law Enforcement have the manpower they need?

Something's fishy about the whole 2 year delay on prosecuting trump.

Explained by the fact that a lot of people in the DOJ and law enforcement are closet fascists who wanted trump's coup attempt to succeed.

Yeah.

But what I find more interesting is how the evidence provided to law enforcement has held up in court, and even resulted in convictions.

Why the "comrade" aspect of your comments?

Is your current alias saying i an a Russian?

That aside, why does your current alias seem to have an issue with bringing Jan6 people to Justice?

Every law enforcement organization in the country has access to the FBI forensic lab in Quantico. You'd think a little effort by the Capitol Police or the FBI itself to identify the perps who were threatening to hang the Vice President.

Instead, they just called the gallows "unauthorized construction on Capitol grounds."

That's the fishy part and why nobody was ever identified in spite of all the photo and video evidence. The message and chants made it perfectly clear these perps were part of Trump's plot to interfere with the transfer of power.

At the very least they needed to be identified and questioned.

He's trying to say that holding gullible idiots responsible for being moronic traitors for a teevee conman makes the US like the USSR.

If people start accepting the premise that the US is just like the USSR, or close enough, then Russia wins, and the door fly open for authoritarianism. It's one of the steps towards it.

And all it took was electing a black President twice for Deplorables to decide America was a failure.

Democrats Were for Occupying Capitols Before They Were Against It

By Marc A. Thiessen

The Washington Post

January 15, 2021

www.aei.org

"Thousands of protesters rushed to the ... Capitol Wednesday night, forcing their way through doors, crawling through windows and jamming corridors." That is how one newspaper described the storming of the Capitol " not the one in Washington last week, but the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., a decade ago.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) praised the occupiers for an "impressive show of democracy in action" and tweeted as they assaulted the Capitol that she continued "to stand in solidarity" with the union activists.

Thankfully, no one was killed. But during the course of the occupation, Walker received a steady stream of death threats against him and his wife, including one that promised to "gut her like a deer" and one threatening to kill his sons. Police found dozens of .22-caliber bullets scattered across the Capitol grounds. The occupiers drew chalk outlines of fake dead bodies etched with Walker's name on the floor, and carried signs that read "Death to tyrants," "The only good Republican is a dead Republican" and one with picture of him in crosshairs with the words, "Don't retreat, Reload."

That's a Sarah Palin quote.
The crosshairs is a Sarah Palin reference too.

In Bolshevik fashion, citizen spies and prosecution of the Party's opposition are normalized.

The system as designed by the Party is oriented not towards what was done, but by whom it was done.

Not comparing to Russians, but to Bolsheviks.

The reference in my link was from 2011.

Again, you miss the point. Or in this case you help reinforce the point.

When Dems did it in 2011, it was "impressive show of democracy in action"
When Repubs did it in 2020 it was " despicable, indefensible, and un-American,"

Just like the trumpers who took over america are not americans. They hate america.

When Dems did it
vs
When Repubs did it

The problem is, it's not the same "it."
Dems weren't trying to overthrow an election.
Republicans were trying to overthrow an election.

From Wikipedia:

Democrats
Methods
Protests, sit-ins, demonstrations, recall elections, quorum-busting

Republicans
Methods
Far-right terrorism
Civil disorder: rioting,[6] vandalism,[7] looting,[7] assault,[8] attempted bombing[9]
Political subversion: propaganda (big lie),[10] conspiracy,[11][12] intimidation,[13] Incitement of insurrection, obstruction of official proceedings,[14] attacking a legislature

"You must understand, the leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians."

And Deplorables hate America.
They're literally funded by Russia.
You certainly understand that.

Why do you hate America, is it because we elected a black man twice?

Or have you never given it much thought.

Is your point it's exactly the same when a commoner says it, as when an elected official says it?

Because that is false.

Leaders matter.

If thousands of black democrats stormed the Capitol, ruthlessly assaulted law enforcement officers, threatened to kill the vice president and members of congress, smeared their ---- all over the walls, and thoroughly disrupted the counting of electoral votes, would Republicans defend them and call them hostages?

The point you're making is a lie.

There's a big difference between you quoting Mussolini and Trump quoting Mussolini.

Can you tell what the difference is?
No, because you're a bad faith actor.
Everybody knows that.
