19,000 tips provided to law enforcement and over 300 interviews conducted. there s a lot more that we don t know about this investigation. and really what i m focused on is he was charged with first-degree murder. that s premeditated. that s a premeditated act. so what i want to look for is from these charging documents, was there some sort of precipitating event, was there some sort of engagement between the suspect and these individuals that caused him to take this to engage in this violent act. so right now we have some information, but that key element of motive, answering that question why for the victims families still remains unanswered. let s get john miller back into this conversation. how will law enforcement in the end try to determine any links to these four victims and a possible motive? i know they re going through his social media and all of his texting and tweeting and all of that. well, i mean, the first one is as shan will tell you, is ....

And eight month sentence for one man who came into the senate chamber. i wonder what you, as a former deputy director of the fbi, think about the ret sans to prosecution under insurrection. the judges being fairly lenient against some of these rioters. i think it s important to note what we re seeing is the very beginning of the sentencing. so in the case of the individual who got eight months, this was somebody who voluntarily pled guilty. he was not the government can tell or alleges that he was not part of any conspiracy. that this was not some sort of premeditated act. so while that is seemingly a light sentence, it also sets the bottom bar. and as we go and start looking at people who are accused of much more serious offenses, conspiracy, and acting in a much more coordinated manner, i would expect those to only go up. and then finally, with regard to insurrection, that is an interesting question. i expect that if those charges come, they will come later when you see these gro ....
