Report: FBI Finds Little Evidence Capitol Riot Was Insurrection, or Led by Trump

U. S. Senate

The FBI has found “scant” evidence that the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was part of a plot to mount an insurrection against the U.S. government, or instigated by then-President Donald Trump, according to sources in a Reuters report.

Reuters reported Friday:

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.”

  • There was no presidential election result to overturn. FRAUDULENT ELECTIONS DO NOT COUNT! The few people that “stormed the capitol” were led by FBI, BLM and Antifa members wearing Trump shirts. Duhhh. Can’t talk about THAT in our lefty media.

    Fake media, fraudulent elections, fake vaccines. That about sums up the past 20 months of American politics. Trump is speaking tonight in Alabama. Contact Mr. Dithers at 45office.com and maybe YOU can motivate him to get off his bleep and get back into the White House. FRAUDULENT ELECTIONS….DO…NOT…COUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!
