The DOJ expects to charge 100 more people in the Capitol insurrection and they've received 210,000 tips helping identify rioters

• The Capitol insurrection in January has prompted "the most complex investigation ever prosecuted."
• A new court filing from US prosecutors said the DOJ expects to charge 100 more people.
• The filing also revealed the government has received over 210,000 tips to help identify rioters.

The US Department of Justice expects to charge 100 more people believed to be involved in the January 6 Capitol breach after receiving 210,000 tips identifying rioters, a new court filing shows.

A little over two months after the attack that cost the lives of several protesters and police officers, more than 300 people have already been charged in what federal prosecutors wrote "is likely the most complex investigation ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice."

Included in a motion by prosecutors for a 60-day delay in the Thomas Caldwell et al proceedings, the government's attorneys noted the hundreds of investigations into the rioters involved the work of over 14 separate law-enforcement agencies. Additionally, the government revealed it has executed over 900 search warrants in nearly every state.

Filings in the charging documents against rioters reveal the numerous ways law-enforcement agencies have identified subjects, including via live streams, social media selfies, surveillance footage, and even scorned exes.

As reported by Axios, the request for a delay came just one day after the newly confirmed Attorney General Merrick Garland took over the DOJ. During his Senate confirmation hearing, Garland told legislators cracking down on white supremacist organizations and others involved in the Capitol insurrection would be one of his priorities. He further sounded the alarm on the growing threat of domestic terrorism in the country.

"I certainly agree that we are facing a more dangerous period than we did in Oklahoma City at that time," Garland said.

As the principal associate deputy attorney general in 1995 under President Bill Clinton, Garland led the DOJ's prosecution of bomber Timothy McVeigh.

Due to the massive amount of evidence and imaging from the event, the FBI is still looking for help in identifying hundreds of insurrectionists. Investigators are searching for some of the people who planned the events leading up to the breach of the Capitol such as Ali Alexander, one of the organizers of the "Stop the Steal" movement.

Alexander previously said GOP Reps. Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks, and Paul Gosar helped plan the movement and invited the chaos into the nation's Capitol, but no federal inquiries against the congressmen have been made public. Each of the three representatives also objected to certifying the presidential election in favor of President Joe Biden, citing false claims.
