The pace of FBI arrests and the opening of new Jan. 6 criminal cases quickened so much in late 2023 and early 2024 that District of Columbia federal courts could bend under the weight.
In the past two months, 93 people have been arrested and charged, according to Department of Justice (DOJ) reports.
At the current rate, some 445 new cases could hit the docket in 2024—more than in 2022 and 2023, according to one estimate.
In total, up to March 6, at least 1,358 people have been arrested by the FBI and criminally charged by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for crimes related to Jan. 6.
If the current trend is to hold, total arrests could be 2,150 by the time the statute of limitations on Jan. 6 crimes expires in early 2026, according to Jacob Rugh, associate professor of sociology at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Mr. Rugh and researcher Isabella Felin have been publishing Jan. 6 statistics and data visualization on X and Instagram since August 2022.

Of the 769 defendants who pleaded guilty to charges, 69 percent were for misdemeanors and 31 percent for felonies, the DOJ reports.
Some 1,276 defendants were charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, and 486 were charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers.
More than 350 were hit with the controversial “corruptly obstructing, influencing or impeding an official proceeding” charge. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on April 16 on a challenge to how the DOJ has used 2002-era corporate fraud statutes to prosecute Jan. 6 defendants for interrupting the counting of Electoral College votes.

Insanity. Pure insanity.
Some months back it was reported that an elderly couple who were sitting on a park bench watching the J6 activities, were arrested. I wonder what charges were brought on them? Occupying a place reserved for a democRAT pigeon? Breathing WDC oxygen that is reserved for democRATs?
I hope Trump raises the issue of J6 persecution to highlight the tw0-tiered justice system. BLM and Antifa terrorists walk free while J6 protestors languish in the DC gulag. Despicable.
I wonder how many Trump will pardon?
Felonius Uppity
I’m glad I paid cash on my trip and wore a black hoodie...
I watched J6 on TV. Will I be arrested?
These people aren’t nuts.
They are EVIL.
and the GOP bends over and takes it
They are not even human...
I thought only Communists did stuff like this.
No wait...
“Meanwhile...
They’re putting up a 10’ fence around the Capitol building again. Totally normal behavior for a president with 81,000,000 unquestioningly legitimate votes”
I think the democrats fear the little monsters they have created. It’s not conservatives they truly worry about but instead the anti-Israel pro-Hamas invaders they have brought into our country.
“and the GOP bends over and takes it.”
Because they are just as insane... I wish more would see that their loyalty to these traitors is extremely misguided.
Yes.
I didn't go either and my only crime has been in referring to the J6 hostages as hostages here on FR and pointing out resident WEFtards and glowies. I don't engage in any illegal activities but have had a MC-12 orbiting the property nevertheless. Maybe they're gathering ELINT because of my interest in UFOs?
Did I read that Rona McDaniel maintains a paid-for apartment in DC to the tune of $30,000. a month? Don’t ever donate to the DNC.
There has to be some way to stop this insanity. A way that doesn’t involve blood in the streets.
This is crazy beyond crazy.
THERE WAS NO INSURRECTION!
Free the J6 Prisoners!
Every single GOP governor should have their staff get a list of J6 political prisoners from their state.
Then they should hold press conferences every day with pictures of the political prisoners discussing their lives and family and demanding their immediate release.
This is what the Democrats would do in their place were the situation reversed—everyone knows it.
It’s called political intimidation in anticipation of massive voter fraud this November.
