Maybe you were struck as I was when U.S. House impeachment manager Congressman David Cicilline constantly referred to the Capitol riot as an “armed” attack in Wednesday’s hearing. I had been looking into this very thing myself. What arms had been used and found on the rioters at the Capitol?
Cicilline referred multiple times in his argument, now on record and taken as gospel, that “an armed, angry mob,” “an armed insurrection against the United States government,” “an armed, angry, and dangerous crowd,” and a mob conducting “armed violence against the government of the United States of America.”

On Wednesday, February 10, the Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) released a major new report on the events leading up to the Capitol attack:
Just Security). This in-depth investigation is the most comprehensive timeline for #StopTheSteal to date, and it tracks the campaign to deny the results of the 2020 election from its origins in the 2016 election up through the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol. The timeline uses open-source investigatory techniques to map the movement’s evolution, calls for violence, and eventual descent onto Washington. The report also includes inside glances at online communities involved in the January 6 attack never before published.
