NEW:

Nine months after the Jan. 6 attack, authorities have made 625+ arrests.

But that’s still just a quarter of the universe of potential Jan. 6 defendants who engaged in chargeable conduct.

Our analysis, with much credit to @SeditionHunters:

huffpost.com/entry/feds-mad…
Get that ~800 number out of your head. The universe of defendants who committed conduct that federal prosecutors have determined warrants criminal charges is ~2,500. huffpost.com/entry/feds-mad…
A bit more news in this piece: Remember those two guys who were arrested because they went to Philly with weapons in a Hummer with a QAnon sticker?

One of them was inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

huffpost.com/entry/feds-mad…
At the current pace, it would take federal authorities until early 2024 to bring cases against 2,500 defendants. huffpost.com/entry/feds-mad…
The number of Capitol suspects on the FBI website who haven’t yet been arrested is ~350. huffpost.com/entry/feds-mad…
The numbers, nine months after the Capitol attack:

Last year, after George Floyd was killed, a punk rocker in Tennessee posted a few professional photos that a photographer had snapped for promotional purposes.
Under Trump, the Justice Department made a federal case out of it.
huffpost.com/entry/anarchis…
The case came in the middle of the Trump administration’s war on “antifa.” The Trump-appointed top federal prosecutor held an whole press conference on it, and even praised the “outstanding investigative work” of law enforcement in the case. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ba…

NEW: Florida man Moises Romero arrested in Jan. 6 attack. Feds say he was part of the mob that brawled with cops. ImageImage
"During the push, which lasted for approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds, video footage depicted rioters punching law enforcement officers, throwing objects at law enforcement officers, and attempting to hit law enforcement officers with a flagpole.” Image
"ROMERO was near the front of the line of rioters, participating in the push against law enforcement officers.”

In case you missed it:

Get that ~800 number out of your head. The number of potential Capitol defendants who engaged in chargeable conduct is ~2,500.

There’s a very long road ahead.

huffpost.com/entry/feds-mad…
The feds say they’re arrested 650. The FBI’s Capitol Violence page (which only lists a fraction of the universe of criminal targets) features ~350 suspects who haven’t been arrested yet, so that’s already 1,000. Then you bring in the ~1,500 “insiders” who haven’t been arrested.

"It was partially his light-gray hoodie with a green shamrock — the words Grays Ferry, Devil’s Pocket, and Schuylkill written on each leaf — that eventually helped federal law enforcement track down” a Jan. 6 defendant from Philly. inquirer.com/news/capitol-r…

The central role of crowdsourcing in the case against Robert Scott Palmer is sort of erased from the official narrative, but make no mistake: #seditionhunters solved this case. His case has been adjudicated and he’s in jail because of the work of sleuths. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Here’s a @maddow segment from March on the role that online sleuths like “Amy” played in identifying Robert Scott Palmer, aka #FloridaFlagJacket.
The role that online sleuths played in Friday’s arrest of “AirHead Lady” and “AirHead Boy” was also glazed over. FBI affidavit only mentioned an electronic tip. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
