Federal investigators have found evidence that would likely allow the government to file sedition charges against some of those involved in the deadly Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, a Justice Department official told CBS' '60 Minutes' on Sunday.

Capitol Hill riot: Sedition. Red Fort riot: Dissent. LeftLiberal hypocrisy is boundless.

For rumour spreader Reuters, one country's sedition is another country's dissent.

The same kind of incident in India is a dissent by these media houses and Sedition in US. Hypocrites

ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਕੁੱਤਾ ਟੌਮੀ, ਸਾਡਾ ਕੁੱਤਾ ਕੁੱਤਾ. Please translate this

Can the liberal LeLis confirm whether this is dissent or sedition so that we know their stand clearly

Draconian sedition laws being applied on political opponents in USA! Dissent has no space in the oldest democracy of the world?

I am from India I thought that was FOE no ? I was to see that machine which decides what is FOE & What is sedition. 😂😂😂😂

yeah next article...the vandals of red fort on India's republic day were ofcourse dissenters... The west is sinking...this is it. the end.

Wow look at the hypocrisy, when the same thing happens in India, biased organizations call for freedom of expression, human rights, dissenting is not sedition, opposition are harassed by government blah blah

How can sedition charges are good in west democracy while it is bad for Asian democracy? Typical west hypocrisy

this is a concrete proof that democracy in USA has sharply declined !!!!!!! How can a first world democracy impose sedition against protestors There is no place for dissent in this country anymore

If I'm to stop asian hate and black lives matter, what do I do when most of the time the black people are responsible for the violence toward asians? I'm so confused

Where are all the arrests of the sedetious thugs burning down our neighborhoods? Oh yeah; BLM people are just supposed to be pampered & let go because . . . .

The justice department has focussed all efforts on one event amongst hundreds? The heads need to be sacked for their rampant corruption.

Where is the President of the United States of America 🇺🇸 and why is the door left open?

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. lisacampbe

Include Seditionist-in-Chief.

DO NOT HOLD ANY DEMOCRAT MAYORS OR GOVERNORS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ANTIFA/BLM EXTREME VIOLENCE IN SEATTLE, PORTLAND, WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, ILLINOIS, ETC, ETC BECAUSE IT SUPPORTS THE LIBERAL SOCIALIST’S PLAN

Scott Pelley: Has the role of former President Trump been part of your investigation? Michael Sherwin:👇 *'Did some January 6 Capitol attackers go on reconnaissance tours?'*

What?! Sedition is a crime in the US!!!! But but but I thought the US said that criminalizing sedition in Hong Kong destroys freedom of the Hong Kong people?!!!! What utter, shameless hypocrites!!!!

DOJ won't press charges because the evidence points to BLM and ANTIFA.

Good! Charge trump.

This guy was good yet he’s leaving the post. Keep him in there to finish the job.

Curious, just watched this on 60 Minutes!

This country must be the object of laughter around the world

Charge the asshole that’s at the center of it all. lockhimup

Then if they don’t that is a dereliction of duty.

Good. Trump and his seditionists should be made an example of. If you’re actually a patriot (and no, your costumed pick-up truck doesn’t count), you’d want these people in jail for sedition

horrible

Do it! It was seditious!

Trump should be at the head of that line.
