The Justice Department Is Struggling To Bring Capitol Riot Cases To Trial: Here's Why |
2021-07-28 |
[NPR] Early one morning in January, Suzanne Ianni peered through her window to discover two black SUVs and a police cruiser parked in front of her house. All she could think was: "Aw, they're here." While Ianni had been expecting federal agents for days, she wasn't fully prepared for their arrival or for the moment when they said, "You're under arrest." "And I just sat down in a chair, I was trying to catch my breath," she told NPR. "And they're like, OK just relax," she said. "It's only a misdemeanor." Ianni, a 59-year-old mother of three, is one of the more than 570 people charged as being part of the mob that overran the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. She stands accused of disorderly conduct and being inside a federal building illegally. The morning the FBI came, she recalls her husband handing her a coat and some shoes and then when the agents told him "no laces," Ianni couldn't help but laugh. "I'm like OK, I'm not going to hang myself over trespassing, you know." |

#7 Justice will never be realized if a fourth category of cases are swept under the rug; left-wing extremists and provocateurs. |

#5 And while Justice continues its navelgazing tens of thousands of illegals carrying the corona virus spread their disease throughout the USA. They create the situation that allows our masters in Washington to reintroduce lockdowns and increase their control over the hoi-polloi. |

#4 And while DOJ fiddles around the political prisoners languish in AMERICAN prison with ZERO due process. DOJ needs to remember these are Americans, not AQ. |

#3 This appears to be keeping the DOJ too busy to go after conservatives for all sorts of other thought crimes... |

#1 Proving someone guilty is oftentimes a very difficult task. Investigations and evidence gathering can literally takes months, even years. |
