Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday committed to holding accountable the perpetrators behind the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, while also affirming the Biden administration’s dedication to protecting the “right to every eligible citizen to cast a vote that counts.”
“The Justice Department remains committed to holding all Jan. 6 perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law — whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy. We will follow the facts wherever they lead,” Garland said at the Department of Justice.
The article goes on to state the following:
Garland recounted a summary of the violence experienced last year when former President Donald Trump called on his supporters to attend a speech outside the White House on Jan. 6, which later escalated into an assault on the Capitol building during Trump’s speech.
Garland emphasized that the DOJ has “no higher priority” than holding those accountable responsible, noting that the events of Jan. 6 has become “one of the largest, most complex and most resource-intensive investigations in our history.”
As part of its investigation, Garland revealed that the department:
- Issued over 5,000 subpoenas and search warrants
- Examined over 20,000 hours of video footage
- Seized control of roughly 2,000 devices
- Received over 300,000 tips from citizens trying to aid the investigation
- Arrested 725 people in connection to the events of Jan. 6.
- Charged over 325 people with felonies
“By now, though, we have charged over 325 defendants with felonies, many for assaulting officers and many for corruptly obstructing or attempting to obstruct an official proceeding,” Garland said.
“The actions we have taken thus far will not be our last,” Garland added.

Garland also sounded the alarm with a claim that public officials remain in danger following the Capitol riot.
“Some have been told that their offices would be bombed. Some have been told that they would be murdered and precisely how.”

Garland’s press conference comes as Democrats and media pundits have been criticizing the AG for what they say is a mild response to the rioters.
The address on the extensive crackdown on those in attendance on Jan. 6 appears to insufficient for some on social media.
“Make no mistake about Garland’s appearance Wed. One year later. We do not have a single indictment from the Justice Department of a major Jan 6. player,” Don Winslow tweeted. “All we’re getting is an in-house speech to staff with more broad promises masquerading as justice.”
Make no mistake about Garland’s appearance Wed.
One year later.
We do not have a single indictment from the Justice Department of a major Jan 6. player.
All we’re getting is an in-house speech to staff with more broad promises masquerading as justice.

Critics appear to be unsatisfied with only the citizens facing indictments and no Republicans or members of the Trump administration.
725 defendants charged by the DOJ and NOT ONE single Trump official, Republican member of Congress, or key planner/plotter is AMONG THEM.
NOT ONE.
GOOD FUCKING LUCK SPINNING THAT.

“I think Merrick Garland has been extremely weak, and I think there should be a lot more of the organizers of Jan. 6 that should be arrested by now,” Rep. Ruben Gallego told CNN Tuesday.

But not the security that ushered people in and the black cop who murdered an unarmed white woman??????
And you’re so poor you’re r on here trolling trying to scam people. Get lost pearl!
For starters Garland should be held accountable ….
I’m really getting to hate the USA! What about holding them accountable to our laws and constitution, holding individuals without in solitary confinement, refusing lawyers to meet with those individuals. What ever happened to the Right yo a Speedy trial?
This entire “investigation” is illegal. It’s a Political Prison event.
Oh, and Trump did NOT break any laws when he told his followers to join in the right to Assembly. He never told anyone to storm the Capitol,
How about all the destruction Hillary supporters did when Trump beat the cheating algorithm and won? Where is Hillary’s charges for not speaking out to stop them?
Don’t hate the USA ,, hate the ones destroying it and those voting for them. This isn’t America but Soros minions!!!
I’m sure all the parents speaking at school board meetings has the agency pretty tied up. Maybe it’s the Hunter Biden investigation??? Prosecuting all the domestic terrorists of 2020/2021???
So that means he’s going to hold the Democrats that bailed out the rioters of the summer of 2020 ??!
So the looting, rioting, burning and killing of citizens protecting their property is no big deal. Morons in charge.
Oh give it up already. They have nothing else to hold to. Just trying to keep our attention on something rather than the disaster they are making for the USA.
This is a joke.
What else would you expect
Everything they do is about killing and destroying Americans.
Our first priority should be to remove him
And the entire Kremlin regime and hang them all. That’s what treasonous bastards are suppose to get Plus Millions of illegals and blacks committing crimes and this pathetic piece of crap goes after Americans
Do you get it now America!
You better or you might be next
So when are all the rioters from 2020/2021 going to be held responsible?! When’s their day in court?! This is a disgusting double standard!! At least the republicans went straight to the people they had an issue with instead of burning homes and businesses that belonged to hard working innocent citizens!
It’s all they have. After OBiden fiascos, divert attention!!! Only people dumber than those in power are the ones that helped steal the election and voted for them. Amazing!!!!
The man is an ass. Why won’t they release the films??? What is it they don’t want us to see??
Sooooooooooooooooo they’re going after Pelosi and everyone else who denied extra help for that day???? And they are going after the FBI agitators and the Antifa and the BLM creeps!!??
Democrats.. What comes around goes around.. 2022 will be the start of the ” coming around” n it will start at the top… Win back house n senate. 2024 the WH… And democrats had better be prepared for the unleashing of the KRACKEN..GRRRRRR
How about your Fbi operatives at the Capitol on Jan 6 .like in the Bundy ranch . where they were going to shoot unarmed ranchers with FBI snipers on the hill tops . Clinton uranium one ring a bell .
Btw they did kill one person at the bundy ranch incident like at the Capital. Same play book !
He’s a gestapo punk
AG Garland is a joke. He fits right in with this regime. J6 is nothing. I can think of more things that we should be focused on. If this is all he has, he’s an idiot.
No higher priority huh ??? Never mind actual terrorists and the off the charts crime/murders breaking records in many of our big cities… This guy is flat out a fing idiot…
Why hasn’t he arrested Pelosi for not allowing the additional security presence?
It was a total setup and the citizens aren’t buying the BS!
This entire administration deserves to be taken out and hung…on the front lawn of the White House!!!! Traightors all!!!
