The U.S. Attorney's office announced an update on charges related to the U.S. Capitol insurrection soon.
As I cover that, my colleague @ColinKalmbacher will live-tweet the Aaron Mostofsky hearing.
"We have opened 160 case files, and that is just the tip of the iceberg."
We have received more than 100K pieces of digital media.
He solicits more at 1-800-CALL-FBI
He credits pre-siege intelligence to the arrest of Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio before Jan. 6 https://t.co/lLYLUsndyn
He says he anticipates hundreds of cases.
The numbers will "geometrically increase."
"This is just the beginning."
Now after those charges are filed, then we have the ability to indict these individuals on more significant charges.
"I just want to clarify that the initial charges we're filing, some of these misdemeanors, are only the beginning. They are not the end."
The FBI, working with U.S. Attorney's office, are looking at cases that potentially include sedition and conspiracy cases.

The Supreme Court also found vaccine mandates legal since 1905, making it more than century-old settled law.
(The decision was over the state enforcing vaccine mandates, but the same principle applies.)

E. Jean Carroll goes to court against outgoing Pres. Trump this morning, in a lawsuit accusing the lame duck of defaming her by denying that he raped her.
Trump wants to pause proceedings to appeal the ruling kicking DOJ out, but for now, it's still on.
Today is an initial telephone conference following Judge Kaplan's ruling that the DOJ can't represent Trump and ordering his personal lawyer Marc Kasowitz back on the docket.
Kasowitz's latest filing from last night: https://t.co/tsTqJanOVe
I'll be covering the proceedings live... in the remote, virtual sense of our era.
.@EJeanCarroll's lawyer @KaplanRobbie is now on the line.
The conference is slated to begin in roughly 5 minutes.

The Manatee-Sarasota area has many connections to the horrific scene of insurrection in Washington DC yesterday. Want to see? Buckle up for this thread: /1
The Manatee GOP expressed support for Josh Hawley’s objections to certification of the electoral college vote. /2
Josh Hawley’s home-state newspaper says Hawley has blood on his hands for a “Capitol coup attempt.” This is who the Manatee GOP cheered on.
Florida GOP Vice Chair & Sarasota County Commissioner Christian Ziegler was at the protest, as described in this @HeraldTribune article.
The protest was led by the same people connected to Ziegler who were filming outside the Vern Buchanan town hall at the Van Wezel in Sarasota in 2017, namely Dustin Stockton. Stockton was also part of Steve Bannon's border wall group. /5

Abbott is pushing a lie to protect incompetence. There is no Federal oversight of the Texas Grid, ergo fewer regulations (sound familiar) - so point one: state legislature needs reform. 2/
2. Point 2: there were clear signs the grid would get overloaded under extreme cold conditions. Why? Due to a vacuum of regulations mandating winterization of turbines and power generators. This from sources, in Texas!
3. Point 3: Of the power shortfall that hit Texas, over 80% was due to problems at coal and gas fired plants. Power generators were just not winterized. Decisions to do so have been ignored since the 1990s.
4. Point 4: these are winterized wind turbines in Denmark. The ocean is frozen. The turbines are generating.
5. #Texas| the main issue is: catastrophic governance at the State level (no Federal oversight of the Texas grid) failing to allocate funding to winterise the Natural Gas, Coal and Wind Turbine elements that contribute to the grid. (~ 80/20

Same thing in Denmark. It's cold enough here that the ocean is frozen and yet look at those reliable windmills just chugging along. pic.twitter.com/1NTljk7hk9
