Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli on Thursday said he believed “many” of the members of the mob that stormed the U.S. capital on Wednesday would be brought to justice.
‘I think a lot of the [mob] shall [be held accountable]”Yes,” he told America’s Newsroom. ‘There are limitations to our ability to identify people, but to the extent we can, I assume people will be prosecuted; which eventually comes to the prosecutors. We at the Department of Homeland Security have urged prosecutors across the country, state and federal states, to take every case. Because until you do, until we have left and right agreement, that violence is never permissible, never permissible, then it continues. “
FBI SEEKS ASSISTANCE FROM THE PUBLIC TO IDENTIFY THE CAPITOL BREAK
Washington, DC, is in turmoil after rioters supported President Trump’s unfounded allegations of mass election fraud, violated the Capitol, smashed windows and forced lawmakers to evacuate during the certification process for President Joe Biden’s election college election. One woman who was part of the mob was shot dead by police during the chaos, and the fallout for Trump was swift, with double convictions from him for inciting the mob at the Capitol, and several sensational resignations in his government.
He has since called for peace and promised an “orderly transition”, although he insisted the election had been stolen.
KECUCCINELLI: We’ve been dealing with violence like this for six months now, and it’s even worse to see it here in the capital. Nobody can accept it anywhere, and that was the message we sent yesterday … We’re building fences around the Capitol today and tomorrow I expect it to be done. We will have a safe inauguration … America can be very confident that you will not repeat this kind of behavior.
…
It was furious. From the point of view of public safety, this is how we approach it at DHS, it was something we never want to see, no matter who it is, and the FBI fully supports and will support them with all our efforts to bring people to justice. to bring who was involved.
…
I think a lot of the [mob] shall [be held accountable], yes. There are limitations to our ability to identify people, but to the extent we can, I assume people will be prosecuted; it finally comes down to the prosecutors. We at the Department of Homeland Security have urged prosecutors across the country, state and federal, to take every case. Because until you do, until we have left and right agreement, that violence is never permissible, never permissible, then it continues. We’ve had six months of this kind of violence in other cities.
