00:00If this is America, you can do whatever the f**k you want.

00:03That's the beauty of America.

00:13Regardless of if it was just a trespass in the Capitol,

00:16or if someone planted a pipe bomb,

00:18you will be charged and you will be found.

00:20He gets very sick if he doesn't eat organic food.

00:31Literally, he'll get physically sick.

00:33So, um, he needs to eat.

00:50I think that everybody should be able to tweet

01:02without being persecuted and treated like crap.

01:05So, you know, watch what you tweet,

01:08because if you tweet, you can go to jail.

01:20I'm not a magician and neither is Mr. Bickney.

01:27So, yeah, we've got a photograph of our client,

01:29who appears to be inside the federal building

01:31or inside the Capitol with government property.

01:50Trump!

02:00Trump!

02:02Woo!

02:04We're in, baby.

02:11He's a fine man.

02:13And thank you, Mr. Trump, for invoking a riot at the White House.

02:18And you're his grandmother?

02:19I'm his grandmother.

02:43So of those 170 cases that have already been opened,

02:45and I anticipate that's going to grow to the hundreds

02:48in the next coming weeks,

02:49we've already charged over 70 cases.

02:52We're looking at everything from simple trespass

02:55to theft of mail, to theft of digital devices

02:59inside the Capitol, to assault on local officers.

03:18Woo!

03:19Woo!

03:20Woo!

03:21Woo!

03:22Woo!

03:23Woo!

03:46We've arrested 650 people already,

03:49but keep in mind that most of them were not arrested on the spot

03:53because the Capitol Police were overwhelmed.

03:56So they were people who had to be found,

03:58and they had to be found by sometimes looking at our own video data,

04:03sometimes from citizen sleuths around the country identifying people.

04:07I'm extremely proud of the work that the prosecutors are doing in this case.
