I hope the arrest included search warrants for his phones.

To state the obvious, the DOJ is in fact looking at the conspirators, not just, so to speak, the trespassers. Very big news.

This is the first time seditious conspiracy is being charged, is that right?

That’s the biggest pinch. Won’t stop with him, since you gotta have others to conspiracy with and all.

Nope, they’ll be back as soon as they receive their new talking points, something along the lines of how the weak and ineffectual Garland arrested the oaf creepers the wrong way.

Weren’t these the guys hanging out with Stone and Trump on the 6th?

Gonna miss a great discussion here I’m sure. Just picked it up off RS and came here to co-shehadenfruedenen but now sadly have been called back to pretend like I’m working. Y’all hold down the troll fort whilst I talk to a few billy goats.

What am I missing? I thought some lawyers on Twitter were saying if DoJ was doing anything, we’d know via indirect means, for example, witnesses speaking to the media. My understanding, and perhaps I misunderstood, is they were saying or implying there wasn’t a grand jury convened, but here we have a grand jury that just returned an indictment.

ETA: There had better be a lot of people on Twitter apologizing to Merrick Garland. The slander was out of control.

These are big boy charges. Various congress critters who are rumored to have aided and abetted the January 6 insurrection should be afraid, very afraid.
