Exclusive: U.S. mulls using law designed to prosecute Mafia against Capitol rioters

The U.S. Justice Department is considering whether to charge members of far-right groups involved in the deadly Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol under a federal law usually used against organized crime, according to two law enforcement sources.

Looks like the DC Grand Jury had a busy day yesterday ... with up to 11 more indictments.

Some of them are additional counts, i.e. felonies that have now been charged where the individuals were originally facing misdemeanors.

Also it appears they may be considering a "terrorism enhancement" with regard to charging some individuals.

House currently voting on H. Res. 91, stripping anti-Semite QAnon wing nut Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R - Loonville) of her committee assignments.

Republicans can thank those voting "Aye" later.

Have the Dems stripped any of their members of assignments for their comments? Lol

Omar, Talib, Nancy Pelosi,Clyburn, Schumer, Booker, Waters, etc?
Any assignments removed or censures for their comments?

Who - besides sad, perpetually butthurt Republicans - cares ?

Clearly, they do ... and quite often in an entirely reactionary manner ...

The vote was 218 to 210 to strip by the way ...

Roll call vote on the motion to reconsider currently taking place.

I guess some are ok with the Storm Troopers comment then.

That might depend on specifically what "Storm Troopers comment" one is referring to ...

One should not assume everyone else is aware of whatever outrage du jour is being ginned up and pushed over in Right Wing Loonyville.

She was referring to Federal Law Enforcement.
They wouldn't be aware because there apparently is two standards for inciteful speech.

Didn't the fellow that is leading the Senate Impeachment make threatening comments towards two Supreme Court Justices last year?

It seems that Chief Justice Roberts and Moscow Mitch certainly thought so:

Chief Justice John Roberts rebukes Chuck Schumer for comments about Kavanaugh and Gorsuch

Fortunately, the individual that did this then said:

"I should not have used the words I used," he said. "They didn't come out the way I intended," he explained, and added "my point was that there would be political consequences for President Trump and Senate Republicans if the Supreme Court, with the newly confirmed justices stripped away at a woman's right to choose."
"I shouldn't have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat, I never, never would do such a thing.

IOW, he took responsibility for what he did and clarified his intent: not a threat of violence but political consequences.

Unlike Trailer Trash Barbie who has doubled down ...

You mean it was rhetoric?
Here is what he said:

No censure from Democrats. That outburst was just over a year from the Kavanah protesters that took over buildings and threw things at a couple justices car as they were leaving. Schumer is leading the impeachment hearing. No joke.
