WASHINGTON - Aided by citizen sleuths who keep identifying Jan. 6 rioters, the Justice Department is finding that it has more cases than lawyers to prosecute them.
Fifteen months after a mob stormed the Capitol in support of then-President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, more than 775 defendants have been arrested. More than 225 have pleaded guilty so far, and two have been convicted at trial: one by a jury and one by a judge. More than 50 have been sentenced to prison.
That leaves more than 500 active cases that still need to be resolved, either by plea deal or trial.
The Justice Department is asking Congress for additional funds to prosecute those cases - a list that keeps growing.
And even as the Justice Department closes in on the 800 arrest mark, there's still an incredibly long road ahead. Multiple online sleuths in a network of “Sedition Hunters” working to find Jan. 6 participants have told NBC News that they've successfully identified to the FBI hundreds of additional Jan. 6 rioters - including dozens who are pictured on the FBI's Capitol Violence website.
“There are hundreds still to go,” said one online sleuth closely involved in the investigation, speaking anonymously to avoid retaliation from supporters of the rioters.
Some of the Jan. 6 participants who haven't been arrested were successfully identified months ago using open-source information publicly available on the internet - like public records, social media and internet photos.

Correction.
...the Justice Department is finding that it has more cases than lawyers to persecute them.
I _thought_ about going to DC on January 6th.
Come and get me, copppers!
I hope my name is on their list. I’d like to give them the run around.
A slightly different take: The DOJ needs to get as many convictions as it can before the House flips to the GOP and the truth gets out (how the opening of the capital was done by design and with the intent of discrediting Trump supporters)
Why didn’t the article mention the guy acquitted? Jerks.
The moral of this story? If you are gonna riot, you better be ready to go all the way in the war.
FBI has names of hundreds more Jan. 6 rioters. DOJ needs more lawyers to prosecute them.

Oh, B.S. There may be shortages of toilet paper, but this country has no shortage of lawyers.
...and the Bidenistas here get mad at Putin for punishing a ‘journalist’ or two.
Lol I smell desperation... Cases getting tossed for Jan 6, Whitmer defendants found not guilty, I know the answer— we haven’t charged enough people..
You nailed it.
Just like the Corporate Media, and Disney, the FBI is in a hole and vows to keep digging. Keep digging guys, (cue Trump evil laugh)
Same guys who just lost in Federal court, Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Citizen sleuths? I think they meant liberal snitches.

Lavrentiy Beria, the most ruthless and longest-serving secret police chief in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror in Russia and Eastern Europe, bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, even the innocent.
Just turn over the payroll records of the FBI. Take your time. At 10 a month it will take five years to prosecute that many agents and assets. As for actual rioting insurrectionists, that’s an FBI employee morale building retreat to look into.
Citizen Sleuths,,,
What’s that term;

Well, it takes time to go through all the Stingray data
He ran the Mighigan FBI's entrapment operation.
Then was promoted to oversee Jan 6 investigations."
Detroit's Top FBI Agent Promoted to Head D.C. Field Office (Oct 2020)
"Steven M. D’Antuono, who was named chief of the Detroit FBI office a year ago, has been promoted to head the Washington Field Office, a coveted post in the bureau.
FBI Director Christopher Wray made the announcement Tuesday, just several days after D'Antuono's agents and state police busted up a plot to abduct Gov. Gretechen Whitmer. His official new title is assistant director in charge."
The videos from that day are deceiving. Apparently there was about 75 million Trump supporters inside the Capitol.
