When setting Rachel Powell’s conditions of release, Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said Powell “must wear a mask whenever she leaves her residence.”

The number of Capitol suspects posted on the FBI’s website is on the verge of topping 300. By my count, more than 220 of the suspects are still at large.
That doesn’t even include the addition suspects whose photos are not featured on the FBI’s website.
