Washington – US prosecutors and the FBI are scouring photos and videos of the massive riot at the US Capitol, looking for evidence of a long list of crimes to charge those who engaged in wanton acts of violence on federal property.
Seditious conspiracy. Damage to federal property. Use of explosives. Crossing state lines to commit crimes. Those are just some of the unlawful acts listed in a September memo by then deputy attorney-general Jeffrey Rosen – now the acting Attorney-General – urging prosecutors to consider tough federal charges for those engaged in violent unrest.
