JUST IN: "The men and women of the FBI will leave no stone unturned in this investigation." - Steven D'Antuono, FBI Wash Field Office, opening a press conference. Scouring 1000s of vids and images for leads, asks public to keep sending them into FBI tip lines.
FBI warns Capitol riot participants if you don't come forward, "Agents from our local field offices will be knocking on your door."
The scope and scale of this investigation is unprecedented in FBI if not DOJ history, says Michael Sherwin, Acting US Attorney, DC. "Everyone is in for the long haul."

Hi. I just sentenced a child molester to prison today.

So, since last Tuesday I've been on jury duty, as you may recall. I experienced the Capitol mob riot story a little differently, in fits and starts as I checked my phone between judge's recesses in courthouse. /1
Last week, we heard graphic testimony by a 17-year old girl alleging how her mom's boyfriend (her de facto father from age 2) raped and touched her from age 10 to 13. Our 12-person jury convicted him of two counts of aggravated sexual battery, and sentenced him today.
We were just the 4th jury trial in Fairfax Co., Va., since COVID. They're adjusting courtroom procedures for safety, which is why this trial went on longer than usual. My utmost respect to the officers of the court who hear this kind of thing regularly, and are trying to work.

BREAKING: In memo obtained by @DefenseOne, Acting SecDef names controversial Trump favorite Anthony Tata -- who has a history of advancing conspiracy theories and making anti-Muslim remarks, including toward President Obama -- to fill the top Pentagon policy post.
In less 24 hours after Mark Esper was fired, two men Trump wanted that the GOP Senate likely never would have confirmed for their jobs are in control at the Pentagon. Even if just for 71 days...
