still making arrests. What they are doing is reviewing every second of footage they can find, cross referencing every possible angle from video and going through all social media and connections. In days following jan 6th, all social networks and smaller tube sites were harvested for jan 6th footage and stored on database, which is still being reviewed. Looking for distinguishing features like hats, masks, etc.
The NYT, WashPo and other mainstream outlets claim that the alleged presence of agent provocateurs is either a, "right-wing conspiracy theory" or a, "alt-right conspiracy theory". Take your pick of scare words.
Peacefully occupying a building and leaving on your own accord is not a coup. If you think this is comparable to armed groups lead by the military occupying parliament and threatening to murder the people inside if demands are not met, I have no idea what to say.
>Lieutenant-Colonel Antonio Tejero led 200 armed Civil Guard officers into the Congress of Deputies during the vote to elect a President of the Government. The officers held the parliamentarians and ministers hostagefor18hours, during which time King Juan Carlos I denounced the coup in a televised address, calling for rule of law and the democratic government to continue. The royal address fatally undermined the coup. Though shots were fired, the hostage-takers surrendered the next morning without killing anyone.
I really do not see the equivalence here at all. Only through a highly partisan stretch could a professional gymnast make this leap.
To be more reportative and less emphatic, I suppose.
Nevertheless, you are correct. The headline does read that a former FBI supervisor named Jared L. Wise called Capitol police officers "Nazis" and encouraged the mob [ of actual Nazis... ] to "kill 'em."
The article goes on to state that "Federal authorities have arrested at least 1,000 people in connection with the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, including multiple current and former law enforcement officers. Shortly after the attack, a top FBI official warned that many within the bureau were 'sympathetic' to the mob."
According to DOJ[1], the FBI's major priorities are to:
- Protect the United States from terrorist attack. [FAIL: Jan 6th Capitol riot]
- Protect the U.S. against foreign intelligence, espionage, and cyber operations. [FAIL: Russian and Chinese espionage + cyber operations]
- Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes. [FAIL: [2]]

Nobody in Spain denies this. Wonder why America is different.
