If it looked like the unmasked throngs who stormed the Capitol last week would simply walk away from the deadly insurrection, the long arms of social media, internet sleuths and federal officials are telling a different story.
While at least 55 criminal cases have been brought against rioters — including several of the most brazen figures seen in widely circulated photographs and video — the top federal prosecutor in Washington says hundreds more could face charges.
In some cases, the rioters themselves brought law enforcement to their door, after posting pictures of themselves on social media mugging with artifacts of the siege or showing themselves inside the Capitol. Technology is doing the work in some cases.
