Yet people are held on conspiracy charges

The FBI has reportedly found no evidence that far-right allies of Donald Trump conspired to overturn the presidential election during the January 6 assault on the US Capitol, according to law enforcement officers briefed on the investigation.

Reuters reported the FBI doesn’t believe the thousands-strong mob that stormed the Capitol was part of a coordinated effort, or that the rioters had planned what they would do once they breached the building.

The story was immediately seized on by supporters of Mr Trump as evidence that the mob that smashed their way into the Senate chamber had not been trying to prevent the certification of the 2020 presidential results.

However, other commentators pointed out that the FBI investigation overlooked the fact dozens of members of far-right militias are facing conspiracy charges relating to the riot.

Biden mulling Afghanistan AIRSTRIKES to destroy US military equipment abandoned to Taliban, but only after evacuations – reports

The Biden administration is reportedly considering airstrikes in Afghanistan in hopes of vaporizing large amounts of US military hardware captured by the Taliban after the militant group took control of the country.

US officials told Reuters there is concern that military aircraft, vehicles and weapon stockpiles seized by the Taliban during the group’s offensive could be used against Afghan civilians, or find their way to terrorist organizations such as Islamic State or Al-Qaeda.

“Everything that hasn't been destroyed is the Taliban's now,” one source told the news agency on Thursday.

The US government is now reviewing its options, including the possibility of launching airstrikes to take out large hardware such as helicopters – although policymakers are reportedly concerned that the move would antagonize the Taliban at a time when the United States is rushing to evacuate personnel and citizens from the country.

A US official told Fox News on Friday that there is “no chance” of air strikes while American evacuations are underway.

Fox News covers up DC bomb scare suspect’s “unknown” motives — even after he livestreamed his election conspiracy theories

An analysis by Media Matters found that Fox News only covered the story for a total of about 23-and-a-half minutes on Thursday. Nine of those minutes came just after the suspect surrendered, when Fox aired a few minutes of live coverage of the Capitol Police briefing, followed by further commentary by a Fox News correspondent. Following that block, the story received only 40 seconds total of acknowledgment for the rest of the evening, in just two brief news headline treatments. There has been no coverage thus far today, as of noon EDT.

And not only did Fox News give scant coverage to the story, but the network then covered up the suspect’s motives by claiming they were “unknown” — even though the suspect, Floyd Roseberry of North Carolina, had used Facebook to livestream his own rantings, which were reported by plenty of other news outlets.
