Cliffs from today's DOJ presser:

98 active Federal felony charges
140,000 pictures and videos reported by the American public
40 arrests
140 in custody
"No video because our press conference room is now a security operations center at DOJ"
"Unfortunately as this case goes on we're seeing indications that law enforcement officers bother former and current had participated in this activity. We don't care who you are or what your profession is... you will be arrested."
"If this was a football game, we're still in the first quarter"
"You attack one of us, you attack us all"
"Every FBI field office in the country is looking for you. In fact your friends and family are tipping us off. So you might want to turn yourself in instead of wondering when we'll knock on your door. Because we will."
~37 suspects in Officer's Sicknick's death (ABC News estimate)
No direct evidence yet of kill/capture teams
Devices did not explode on the 6th, they were disarmed by special teams
Regarding whether there was any involvement from lawmakers, the agencies are looking into it
Several people have turned themselves in with Defense lawyers. "We are not cutting deals with anyone, they will still be held accountable. In some cases they are reporting activity of others. We encourage anyone to turn themselves in, it may benefit you." (paraphrase). As others have pointed out, these seem like a contradiction, but turning yourself in and cooperating can achieve things like reduced sentences, which is not the same thing as cutting a deal.
Regarding definitively how Officer Sicknick died... still under investigation.
Journalist asked: How credible of a threat are the upcoming days? Not answered

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence has called his soon-to-be successor Kamala Harris to offer his congratulations, according to two people familiar with the conversation.

It’s the first known contact between the elected members of the outgoing and incoming administrations. President Donald Trump has not reached out to President-elect Joe Biden or invited him to the White House, and has instead spent the weeks since he lost the Nov. 3 election holed up at the White House, trying to undermine the legitimacy of Biden’s win with baseless claims of mass voter fraud that culminated in last week’s violent storming of the Capitol building.

Pence, who didn’t speak with Trump for days after the siege, has become an unexpected — albeit late — defender of Biden’s win. The vice president resisted enormous pressure from Trump to try to interfere in Congress’ certification of the Electoral College vote count last week — even though he has no such power. And he has announced that he will attend Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration, which Trump is refusing to do — making him just the fourth president in the nation’s history to skip the symbolic passing of the torch.

Pence and Harris spoke Thursday afternoon and had a “good call,” according to one of the people familiar with the conversation, with Pence congratulating Harris and offering his assistance. The people spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the private exchange.

The call came less than a week before Biden and Harris take office and just over a week after Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol and tried to halt the peaceful transition of power after he delivered a speech calling on them to “fight.” Five people died, including a Capitol Police officer, and Trump got impeached on a charge of incitement of an insurrection.

While Trump has remained largely behind closed doors, without his Twitter bullhorn and fuming since his loss, Pence has been stepping up and fulfilling many of the ceremonial duties of the presidency.

On Thursday, Pence received a briefing at the Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington from the FBI and other agencies on inauguration security and stopped by to thank White House phone operators, giving them a framed letter of appreciation. Later, he greeted members of the National Guard now protecting the Capitol building from further attack.

This weekend, he will travel to thank the troops — first flying to Lemoore, California, to deliver remarks to sailors, and then to Fort Drum, New York, to speak before 10th Mountain Division soldiers, many of whom recently returned from Afghanistan.

Pence was also the one who coordinated with lawmakers and the D.C. National Guard while the Capitol was under siege and he was in hiding. And last Friday, he called the family of slain Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died from injuries in the attack.

Pence’s call to his successor is a continuation of the traditional show of comity between outgoing and incoming leaders that Trump has flouted. In 2008, then-Vice President Dick Cheney called Biden to congratulate him the night of his win and invited Biden and his wife, Jill, to tour the vice presidential residence on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory shortly before the 2009 inauguration.

And in November 2016, Biden, Pence and their spouses met for lunch at the Naval Observatory after an earlier meeting at the White House.

“I told Mike, the vice president-elect, that I’m available to him 24/7,” Biden said after the get-together. “I plan on being available to Mike as senior staff for him as he moves.”

It’s unclear whether Pence will do the same for Harris. Pence and his wife will be traveling over the weekend. And much of Washington is under heightened security after last week’s violent insurrection at the Capitol, with law enforcement officials warning of more potential for violence surrounding Biden’s inauguration.

While Biden said last week that he welcomed Trump’s decision to skip his inauguration, he said he would be “honored” to have Pence attend.

“I think it’s important,” he said, that, as much as possible, “the historical precedents” with respect to the peaceful transfer of power “be maintained.”

Looks like they had to admit they were lying real quick once lawyers got involved. Adding yet another reason why conservatives will never be taken serious again.

Ruby Freeman on video with audio discussing fraud before they made up the water main break story.

The audio is really terrible. I used headphones with the volume way too high and I can just barely make out what they're saying. Had to listen to it over and over. There are some parts where I can't make out what they're saying at all but I can vouch for about 70% of the transcripted text sounding correct

It only cost $100 an hour to execute this fraud. What a bargain

Oops!

They don't want you to know...

They don't want you to know...

They're really desperate at this point.

In the audio the election supervisor is telling her they're going to come up with a way to clear everyone out so she can start 'flipping'. She's worried they are so far behind but he tells her she's getting $100 an hour so she needs to run the machines until the job is done

You did it bro, you found the fraud.

Congratulations.

[ceizer1985]

In the real world.

Pew poll: Trump is leaving the White House with the lowest job approval of his presidency, 29%.

He's going to get convicted by Senate if these numbers are actually real.

You'd think so, but unless there's a cock dangling between those legs, libs aren't interested. They're grossed out by heterosexuality.

Coming from an outside country (Australia) it's pretty obvious this election was dodgy af, and that the media/big tech all worked together to get this result.

My question is, how come this is all fine and everyone is meant to shut up and not look into it, but we had 4 years of baseless BS and investigations over every little rumour with Trump? Are people too stupid to question all of this or what's the go?

Just bend over and accept hardcore leftism/censorship/cancel culture for you guys I guess..

You think it's dodgy because so many people in our country are stupid.

You are smarter than to push that website.
