... Twitter, Parler, Instagram, Reddit, etc. Some were even posting photos with GPS locations from their phones. How stupid can they be? Even though some of it was "deleted" later, it was never really deleted. The FBI and other authorities got the participants' digital IDs right off the cell tower media server at the U.S. Capitol. They have archives from the SMS sites for that day.

There is just a mountain of data that investigators are going through now. More arrests will come, but the feds are prioritizing the ones who actually entered the Capitol building that day. Those were the truly dangerous individuals because some were carrying weapons and some were threatening violence. The insurrectionists who just stayed outside looking stupid, they may never get a visit from the feds. But they can't be sure.
