NOW: 6 days after the insurrection, the FBI says it’s ready to prove a “quick” update.
Here goes with updates from FBI:
•160 cases files have been opened
•100,000 digital media tips have been received
•they FBI admits they had intelligence warning of an attack

•FBI says an arrest the night before the Capitol attack indicates they took action
•@AndyTriay has previously reported: FBI “disrupted” a number of individuals from traveling to DC. Which means they were urged not to come – or somehow stopped.
•FBI says there will be hundreds of criminal cases against suspects at the Capitol and prosecuting them could take months
•the acting D.C. U.S. attorney says most investigations were opened on misdemeanor charges but now the feds will indict those people on federal felonies
BREAKING: The acting U.S. Attorney in Washington D.C. says he’s ordered prosecutors to build cases to charge Americans who stormed the Capitol with sedition & conspiracy, if the evidence warrants charges against them depending on how they were involved.
NOW: Acting U.S. Attorney in D.C. says charges will also be brought against people who attacked members of the media.
FBI says it’s actively looking at whether to place suspects, already charged in last weeks attack, on a no fly list.
NOW: U.S. Attorney in D.C. says the pipe bombs placed at the @GOP and @DNC last week were REAL.
They had “Explosive igniters and timers...We don’t know why they didn’t go off”
Press conference over.
It took them 6 days to come out & say that. I get that things develop.
The American public deserved to hear from FBI the day of the attack, within hours of the attack.
It’s ridiculous how long it took to brief the American public & take questions.
The first few fmr FBI officials interviewed on CNN and asked by @BrookeBCNN about the press conference that just happened from the US attorney & FBI all basically said that press conference was a failure and an attempt to defend itself rather than to inform & ensure confidence
PS: where was Christopher Wray, the FBI Director? Why wasn’t he at this news conference to take questions and show a presence as the head of the FBI.

A few years ago my family and I were driving from visiting relatives in Texas when we were stuck in traffic on the I-10. We were at a complete dead stop when a woman (texting) in a Suburban hit us at 70 mph. She crushed the back of our car like a soda can. 3/


Thankfully, our two-year-old was in a good carseat and I absorbed the brunt of the injuries with a few shards of glass in my scalp. I won't show those pictures! While a high speed rail network along the Gulf Coast may have not prevented that accident, it could prevent most. 4/
