Ex-DEA agent charged with bringing gun to Capitol grounds on January 6 and lying to FBI

A former Drug Enforcement Administration special agent who previously claimed he had been fired for being at the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection is now facing federal charges after prosecutors say he brought his service weapon onto Capitol grounds and lied to the FBI about what he had done that day.

Mark Ibrahim went on Fox News in March and claimed he had traveled cross-country to the Capitol on January 6 because a "friend I served in Iraq with asked me to help him get there for documentation purposes and we were just spectators." Ibrahim went on to say that he had videotaped the commotion "so those criminals could face justice," and that he had never set foot on the stairs of the Capitol.
His story became a cause celebre in right-wing circles, with some conservative figures condemning his supposed firing as unjust and some conspiracy websites urging readers to donate to his cause.
But prosecutors told a different story in court documents unsealed on Tuesday.


Sounds like the biggest problem is they don't have enough evidence to convict a lot of these people because the cops were just arresting anyone around that appeared to be involved. It doesn't mean they didn't do something wrong but they can't convict without evidence. Where are the insurrection was all videotaped with their mugs proud trashing the capital and threatening to kill the vice president. You can't convict without evidence and unfortunately if someone breaks a window or starts a fire in the cops don't see it you have no evidence. It's very unfortunate and the looting and rioting of the few should be punished. But with now enough evidence it will do you no good it'll cost the taxpayers money to only have them go free anyway because they don't have the evidence
