WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters); The FBI announced today they have found no evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials. Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations. "Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. "Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme to storm the Capitol and take hostages."

In response, a man labeling himself as Dajo indicted at a press conference: "that the demonstrates of course were an armed insurrection to take over the government. There were 2.500 armed officers facing dozens of protestor with a variety of weapons: stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and American flags on poles that were wielded as clubs. I expect more investigations by somebody - maybe Nancy Pelosi herself - to show that our government hung by a thread as flag-waving protesters smashed windows and put their feet on the desk inside the nation's most iconic symbol of democracy - Nancy Pelosi's office. This report clearly show there was a civil war organized on far-right social media, at the direction of the three Poor Boys rampaging through the Capitol while taking selfies. There it is in a nutshell, those selfies are the smoking gun."
Someone named Tom at the hastily called press conference continued: "It is a vast right wing conspiracy! They climbed the grand marble staircase and breached police gates and smashed windows and shoved police officers and broke through doorways and forced their way in. Oh wait that was ANTIFA in Berkeley. Let me check my notes. Oh who cares, I can just make it up. What about this? The insurrection was hardly spontaneous. It was carefully, methodically planned, spelled out on far-right social media, where die-hard Trump supporters openly traded advice on how to attack D.C. police officers, how to pry open the doors of the Capitol and how to get illegal pepper spray in. Men in black regalia shoved police, called them "traitors," cursed at them. At some doors to the building, no officers were visible. Oh wait a minute, that was ANTFA and Berkeley again. What about armed restraint man? Maybe I can post more pictures of him. Clearly he came prepared to take over the federal government, including the armed forces, national guard, and all the armed officers. He came looking for hostages! What you mean he took the restraints from a capital officer? What would Dajo do? Yes, deflect, that's it.
