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.

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 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.)

Oh my Goodness!!!
I might have a panic attack due to excitement!!
Read this thread to the end...I just had an epiphany and my mind is blown. Actually, more than blown. More like OBLITERATED! This is the thing! This is the thing that will blow the entire thing out of the water!
Has this man been concealing his true identity?
Is this man a supposed 'dead' Seal Team Six soldier?
Witness protection to be kept safe until the right moment when all will be revealed?!
Who ELSE is alive that may have faked their death/gone into witness protection?
Were "golden tickets" inside the envelopes??
Are these "golden tickets" going to lead to their ultimate undoing?
Review crumbs on the board re: 'gold'.

This article by Jim Spellar for @LabourList misses the point about why Labour needs to think seriously about constitutional reform - and have a programme for it ready for government.
The state of our constitution is a bit like the state of the neglected electric wiring in an old house. If you are moving into the house, sorting it out is a bit tedious. Couldn’t you spend the time and money on a new sound system?
But if you ignore the wiring, you’ll find that you can’t safely install the new sound system. And your house may well catch fire.
Any programme for social democratic government requires a state with capacity, and a state that has clear mechanisms of accountability, for all the big and all the small decisions that in takes, in which people have confidence.
That is not a description of the modern UK state.
"Voters don\u2019t care about how the D\u2019Hondt system works or about how you\u2019d geographically carve up a regional assembly... They want results.\u2070"@spellar on why Labour should stop obsessing over constitutional issues: https://t.co/W0zsire5xI
