At DOJ press conference, an Acting US Attorney for DC is saying the entire Capitol grounds are a crime scene. Yes. But it should have been secured as such immediately. https://twitter.com/ClaraJeffery/status/1347809318515589121
That Wray, Acting AG, and higher ups aren't giving this briefing is nuts.
He is saying that additional compounding charges against those already arrested are already happening and to expect more. Expects 100s of criminal cases.
Says public isn't familiar with a whole bunch of other cases/defendants—building cases of sedition and conspiracy. 20 year penalties.
Evidently to brief the public on domestic terrorism you must be a bald white guy.
Sherwin is doing a good job. We should have had this briefing five days ago, and Wray/AG should still be there.
There's an FBI sedition strike force.
They only took 6 questions, none from print reporters, cut off presser before (presumably) any questions about Trump came up.
So better than nothing, but a lot more transparency needed.
