BREAKING: The Department of Justice drops a bomb on the MAGA world, reveals that many more police officers were injured during the January 6th insurrection than officially reported.

This destroys the insane MAGA myth that the Capitol riot was just some kind of peaceful protest....

According to U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves for the District of Columbia, the Capitol siege was "the largest single-day, mass assault of law enforcement officers in our nation’s history."

That is worth reading again. Donald Trump's followers were so violent, so deeply unhinged in their fascism that day, that they made history.

“One hundred and forty officers guarding the Capitol that day reported physical injury," Graves went on. "But we know from talking to the hundreds of officers guarding the Capitol that day that this 140 number undercounts the number of officers who were physically injured, let alone those who have suffered trauma as a result of the day’s events."

Graves made the remarks at a press conference commemorating the third anniversary of the deadly insurrection.

He went on to explain that numerous officers were injured so badly that they had to leave their jobs and are still, to this day, unable to serve.

Since the attack, nearly 900 people have been convicted for crimes committed during the insurrection. 149 of them have been convicted of assaulting, resisting, or impeding the police or employees.

41 have been convicted of using a deadly or dangerous weapon to cause bodily harm to an officer. Weapons used included guns, tasers, flag poles, knives, baseball bat, and other objects.

"What the events of Jan. 6, 2021, reveal is that our democracy is fragile. The fact that we have existed with peaceful transitions of power for over 200 years is not a guarantee of our future. Nothing is assured,” stated Graves.

Over 80 people are still wanted and need to be identified for their treasonous violence.

Importantly, Graves stated that the "public's help is still needed" to catch and prosecute the remaining insurrectionists who have so far slipped through the cracks. The statute of limitations for January 6th crimes expires on January 5th, 2026.

There is still time to catch them all.
