The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, has hinted that there may have been "accomplices" in the assault on the Capitol between congressmen and senators and has warned that they will have to be held accountable.

More than thirty Democrats have signed a letter calling for an investigation based on the testimony of Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, who claims to have seen "colleagues leading recognition groups" inside the Capitol building on January 5, the day before the violent incidents. that five deaths were claimed.

"If in fact it is proven that there have been members of Congress who were accomplices in the insurrection, who aided and instigated to commit the crime, they will have to answer for their actions beyond Congress and may be prosecuted for it," said Pelosi.

The Justice Department has confirmed the opening of 175 criminal investigations in connection with the robberies of the Capitol, although the number could exceed 300 during the weekend.

Acting District of Columbia Attorney General Michael Sherwin confirmed that "significant crimes" are being investigated against those involved in the assault, including several officers and former law enforcement officers.

"We do not care about your profession: we will accuse you anyway and you will be arrested,"

warned Sherwin, who did not specify at the moment if the investigation includes political charges.

The Deputy Director of the FBI, Steven D'Antuono, appealed to the families and acquaintances of the participants in the assault for collaboration: "It will be better if you declare yourself instead of asking yourself when we are going to knock on your door ... Because we will knock on your door! "

The FBI is spreading its networks across the country, hunting and capturing the participants in the violent break-in.

The police are investigating at the same time to what extent the entry into the Capitol occurred by spontaneous combustion (after the "March to Save America" ​​in which Donald Trump asked his followers a "show of force") or if it was more organized than what was thought at first, with "ramifications" such as the failed attempts to blow up household gadgets at the headquarters of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

Other clues lead to the possibility of "reconnaissance tours"

of the Capitol during the previous days, in which future assailants allegedly participated, camouflaged among the daily visitors, or with the assistance of personnel or members of Congress.

During the attack, at the start of President-elect Joe Biden's confirmation ceremony, the first group of "insurgents" managed to gain access to the Senate just one minute after Vice President Mike Pence was evacuated.

The FBI has recognized that dozens of participants in the assault have criminal records and some of them were even on the "black list" of terrorism suspects.

Jacob Chansley, known as the Shaman of QAnon, appeared in an Arizona court on Friday for his role in the incidents (he occupied the vice president's chair disguised with antlers and coyote skin).

"My client served honorably in the military and did nothing but obey a very clear call from the president, who should forgive him," alleged his attorney, Albert Watkins.

Policeman Michael Fanone, wounded in the incidents, shook the Americans meanwhile in an interview on CNN in which he recounted how he was killed by the assailants, who tried to take away his service weapon amid shouts of "Kill him with your own gun! ".

"I remember screaming that I had kids and that seems to have worked," Fanone said.

Meanwhile, the FBI has warned of the possibility of incidents not only in Washington, but in the 50 state capitols such as those of Michigan or Georgia, where "armed" protests already took place in the weeks following the elections.

The streets of the capital have been taken over by more than 20,000 National Guard soldiers

in unprecedented security deployment in a presidential inauguration.

On Sunday at least two demonstrations were called in Washington, which will become a bunker-city between now and January 20, including the closure of the main bridges over the Potomac River to traffic and the high military presence in train stations and in the airports.

The FBI has given the highest alert for "potential acts of violence" in the countdown to the inauguration, although there
