, who knows firsthand how family members are often left with no choice but to call authorities to help loved ones.

That's what I'm talking about!!! That's how catch someone; either it's them or someone will take their place. Robert Oswald loved his brother Lee; but he wasn't going to lose his family, his home and his life, because his brother decided to kill President Kennedy.

mitchellreports Well Andrea interesting choice to use word 'leaning' in headline which can imply 'pressuring' . Why choose such a word?

Defund the FBI

Turn them in and get that money!

Yes that’s the right thing to do💪🏻

Without question Donald Trump was the leader and directed the riotous mob to the Capital. Trump should be arrested booked and charged along with the others who stormed the Capital for breaking the laws of Washington DC.

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. lisaMakT

FAKENEWS 🎥

Lock them all up in solitary confinement and feed them dog food. Sedition and insurrection can never be excused in the United States of America. Send them all to Guantanamo to live with ISIS terrorists. They're after all birds of a feather.

mtmalinen FYI

Trump is just as Quilty as those the fbi is seeking out. Shame on the republicans who are covering this up on behalf of their party.

On that Soviet vibe

I would turn them in.

The FBI must continue to find and apprehend every single Capitol insurrectionist. Violence against the United States and its democracy will not be tolerated.

Why does Austin woods never get in trouble? As he says he befriends local, state & federal prosecutors and uses his daddy, the ex ArizonaAG, connection! It’s also called nepotism! So will you help me hold of them accountable by demanding a FBI/TheJusticeDept investigation?

OMG.

Ok maybe POTUS made the right choice keeping Wray. Everyone involved must be jailed forever

Charge Every Last One.

What if there was no romance involved? Are those partners disqualified?

Imagine if they'd used such magic on the Las Vegas shooting.

We all have that druncle who supports Trump.

HOPE THEY ARE DOING THE SAME THING TO THOSE WHO KILLED BURNED AND LOOTED ALL LAST YEAR!!!😎✌️

I want the Democrats to raise their hands if they have ever given a speech that says ‘Take back, fight for your country.’ Who hasn’t used the words ‘fight’ figuratively? And are we going to put every politician in jail.

It’s sad that politics has divided the country and now families. Thanks trump

LAW AND ORDER...

I know I combed the photos and videos hoping to see my ex.

Why does Austin woods never get in trouble? As he says he befriends local, state & federal prosecutors and uses his daddy, the ex ArizonaAG, connection! It’s also called nepotism! So will you help me hold of them accountable by demanding a FBI/TheJusticeDept investigation?

This is wrong

wow

WAKE UP DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS!! PELOSI SCHUMER SCHIFF AND BIDEN ARE TAKING YOU FOR IDIOTS!!! GET A BACKBONE AND DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY!!! DON'T BE COWARDS!!!!😎✌️& THOSE RINOS .. YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THE RIGHT THING!! 😎✌️

Gart

tdzwilewski Maybe they should hold off on turning them in until we have a justice department that will charge them?

good

Emphasis on Ex You gotta watch the bitter ppl

Good luck with that proposition. I predict that very few, if any, relatives will out their loved ones. Especially in this contentious political climate.

Do the crime do the time. Aren't they suppose to be the 'Law and Order' party?

as any law enforcement would while investigating any violent crime.

Knock-Knock to all the insurrectionists; it's time to pay for your crimes!

I am sure the law and order party will keep pushing for the prosecution of all of the seditionists and insurrectionists that fought to overturn the rightly elected President of the USA. There is no way that the hundreds of people caught on tape invading the capital will walk.

Blood is thicker than water goes out the window when your family member attacks the nation's capital.
