This Thursday (6) marks one year of the trumpist insurrection that intended to undermine the result of the election of Joe Biden.
Five days after the Capitol raid, Steven M. D’Antuono, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Washington office, warned: “Our agents are going to knock on your door.” So far they have knocked on a thousand doors and arrested or indicted 724 people from 45 US states. They opened 170 investigations and started from the analysis of 100,000 pieces of digital communication. With no car wash, almost every day someone was being interrogated.
The guy said he was at the Capitol for ten minutes and the FBI showed, with videos, that he was there from 2:45 pm until around 3:05 pm, with a friend who grabbed a policeman and pushed open a door. Another thought he had gone unnoticed, and the FBI knocked on his door in October, showing him that they had been on Capitol Hill for at least 17 minutes. Others, who posed beside statues or pictures, were soon found. A discreet rioter who went unnoticed went on to articulate an attack on a prison. His accomplice was an undercover agent.
The agents looked for needles in the haystack, but they never had so many ways to find them. Exhibitionists incriminated themselves on social media. In addition, the FBI tracked cell phones that were turned on in the Capitol and its neighborhood during the hours of the riots. Added to that were police cameras and clues offered by hundreds of people.
Always without car wash, in June there were 100 convicts. Some took light sentences, with parole, others, who vandalized the building or assaulted police officers, took up to five years in jail. A good part of the gang that broke down windows was reached. One of them, caught in July, was with his wife and two children.
Among the athletes who scaled the building’s walls was a Marine from the reserve. He had also been the first Marine to force his way into the Capitol Rotunda at 2:25 pm. The 19-year-old who filmed himself stepping foot on the table of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was caught in April. The clown who walked around in animal clothes and horns on his head was caught three days later and served up to 41 months in prison. He wanted notoriety, he became an example.
There was everything in that crowd: young people, old people, families, veterans, pastors, police officers (some police pastors), teachers and costumed freaks, all driven by the parallel reality instigated by President Donald Trump.
They were all lambaris, and on the first anniversary of the fatty fish insurrection, it protects itself, trying to shield the White House documentation related to the episode. Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is known to have been one of the instigators, often taking a few more. It is also known that Ivana, Trump’s daughter, tried to reason with him, but he spent hours in front of the television sets. His lawyers asked the Supreme Court to preserve the confidentiality of the President’s movements.
The Court should be expected to rule, as the case is constitutionally intriguing. The former president wants to maintain the secrecy that Joe Biden, his rival in the campaign, did not. The FBI shone, but within the limits of its investigation it only caught lambaris.
