#capitolinsurrection — Public Fediverse posts

Over the weekend, conservative outlet The Blaze released a story that claimed to identify the Jan. 6 attempted pipe bomber as a former Capitol Police officer who later joined the CIA. It was grist to the mill for right wingers who have long believed that the laying of the bombs was an inside job. But now, the story is falling apart. @TheBulwark explains the full story.

Two U.S. federal prosecutors have been put on leave after they filed a legal brief which used the words "mob of rioters" in reference to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White had filed a sentencing memorandum in the case of Taylor Taranto, a pardoned Capitol rioter who was facing separate charges related to a June 2023 arrest near former President Barack Obama's home. Taranto is set to be sentenced on Thursday and the Justice Department plans to recommend he serve 27 months in prison.
