>>>The attack -- carried out by supporters of former President Donald Trump who were dissatisfied with the 2020 election results -- caused about $2.7 billion in estimated costs, according to an updated report from the Government Accountability Office.<<<

And counting. Thanks, trump.

Mike,

Not downplaying j6... mocking "estimates" these numbers arr so foul it doesn't need the snuff test, the optics are just stupid

They could rebuild Capitol Hill for less than 2.7billion dollars, IF they allowed private contractors

Come, on,man .. BILLIONS of dollars in damages... and the building wasn't even closed for a full day...

I didn't see a huge burning hulk of buildings and the congress having to move to an alternative location...

2.7billion? Dude, wow

I didn't read the GAO report so I don't know what is included but it goes beyond physical damage to the Capital building. The cost of the DOJ investigations and prosecutions, the cost to incarcerate the knuckleheads who are cooling their jets in federal lock-ups around the country, etc. I'm sure every single one of those charged was provided with a tax-payer paid attorney and we all know how expensive that shit is. There is a lot more to it than just the physical damage to the building...that's probably the smallest part of it.

AHHH BS That was The Damage from The George Floyd Riots you Idiot!!!

(this is snarky humor!!!)

so, you are saying it would have been way, way, way cheaper just to have ignored it?

let's do some rough math - -

IF there were 1,000 people locked up since jan7th, 2021, you are telling me it cost 2.7 MILLION each? ... (that's 2.7billion)

hmm, i think we need more ambulance chasers on the case!

Take it up with the GAO, buddy. Not me.

>>>In the months leading up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6,
2021, there were reported efforts to organize large groups of protesters to
travel to Washington, D.C. to dispute the outcome of the 2020
presidential election. Over the course of about 7 hours, more than 2,000
protesters entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6, disrupting the peaceful
transfer of power and threatening the safety of the Vice President and
members of Congress.1 The attack resulted in assaults on at least 174
police officers, including 114 Capitol Police and 60 D.C. Metropolitan
Police Department officers. These events led to at least seven deaths and
caused about $2.7 billion in estimated costs.<<<<

yeah, fifi .. 2.7 million per violator .. seems about right to you .. only in the world of government spending would that even be believable

might go ask gladys to help you write out that big number for you .. she has more patience with you than the internet does

I don't think it's correct to tie the calculation to the number of violators.

Seems to me to be willfully ignorant to insinuate the costs of January 6th are only related to convictions and janitorial.

Id guess an incomplete list of costs tabulated would include: the events increased security, medical bills, all investigations whether charged with a crime or not, Workman's Comp and Disability, Congressional January 6th Investigation Committee, Executive Office January 6th investigative work, D.C. police stuff?

How many hotels and other lodging were damaged by the January 6th rioters? I bet more than a few of them wet the bed.

Why did the GOA never tell what it cost when McCabe sent the fbi on a wild goose chase to find the leak. That was McCabe himself. The point man told McCabe they were going 24 hrs a day, and were run ragged to find the leak. He was asked point blank if he himself was the leak. McCabe told him "no", keep looking.
The IG released all this, and they never made him reimburse the taxpayer.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-d...n-6-attack-capitol-0

This says 140 police officers were assaulted on January 6th. What did that cost?

Hey Man, from the get go you've downplayed and dismissed the seriousness of that day and that's fine, it's just the kind of guy you are. The facts say differently but your version of facts don't agree.

Scott,
Your link says 2.88 million,

quote:

As of October 14, 2022, the approximate losses suffered as a result of the siege at the Capitol totaled $2,881,360.20

That's 1/1000 of the amount from Mike's link


Yall might need to sort that out

Yes, but lil mikey's self righteous indignation is much better fueled by his figures......

$2.88 million for the total cost of 1/6 is absurdly low. Try again.

Because you do.

For years you repeatedly called January 6th, "mostly trespassing". You dismiss the seriousness of for example 140 police officers being assaulted.

Now you are on this thread dismissing the GAO report . You have persistently tried to whitewash the events of January 6th.

And he will continue to do so.

This would be correct....at least that's the way I read the report. Jeffe's insistence that the costs be pared down to nothing but the costs of prosecution and incarceration of the insurrectionists isn't the way the damages were calculated by the GAO. At least, that's my understanding of it. YMMV.

Strange, YOUR post factually disputes Mike's, by 1,000 times the difference. YOU provided the facts that contest the Gao report.

I merely used LOGIC that a one day event, with 1000 arrested, couldn't cost as much as ... You posted the link that proved it


What do I think of the majority of the idiots convictions? Oh, let's let the facts speak

quote:

Approximately 1,186 defendants have been charged with entering or remaining in a restricted federal building or grounds

Only a report from the actual agency ... the justice department DC

Have you seen me, ONCE contest one or more of these idiots convictions? Didn't happen.

never ONCE have i dismissed legitimate attacks on LEOS ... in fact, the lefties here flamed me about "why aren't floyd riotors and CHAZ?CHOP being arrested for assault on police"...

sorry, scott, you are mixing my concept for the entire affair with your precepts, and bias confirmation made it worse.

a much better question is why didn't the dems allow the gop to appoint they own, chosen reps to the "committee"? oh, i recall.. nancy said "they would be disruptive" .. so they chose biddable people to sit there .. then is could be called "bipartisan"


nag, could you imagine the news backlash of johnson did the same?

It would have been so much better if so of the co-conspirators had been on the committee. I think we should institute something similar in criminal court, maybe let the accused be one of the jury

Here's what you said and all you talk about is the cost of rebuilding the Capital using private contractor, the building not being closed for a full day nor having burned down....and, then you go on to talk about how much it would cost per insurrectionist and I took that to mean the cost of incarcerating them....so, that is, in fact, what you said.

>>>They could rebuild Capitol Hill for less than 2.7billion dollars, IF they allowed private contractors

Seriously, you contradicted yourself. First you said "Jeffe's insistence that the costs be pared down to nothing but the costs of prosecution and incarceration of the insurrectionists isn't the way the damages were calculated "

Then, after being called on it, revised to include my actual statement, including the snark that private contractors could do it cheaper

Whatever. I'm going with the GAO estimate. You can make up whatever you want.

Though doj says 1/1000 of what the Gao says, per Scott's link, with categories of the spend... which, strangely enough, reflects the actual damages .. weird, man, weird

As of October 14, 2022, the approximate losses suffered as a result of the siege at the Capitol totaled $2,881,360.20. That amount reflects, among other things, damage to the Capitol building and grounds and certain costs borne by the U.S. Capitol Police.

. . . literally 2 minutes of research for anyone really wanting the answer instead of just arguing.

GAO $2.7 Billion

“This amount reflects, among other things, damage to the Capitol building and grounds, estimated costs borne by the Capitol Police, the District of Columbia, and federal agencies, and estimated costs to address security needs and investigations as described in budget and funding requests, appropriations, agency estimates, and other publicly available information.”


DOJ $2.9 Million

“That amount reflects, among other things, damage to the Capitol building and grounds and certain costs borne by the U.S. Capitol Police.”
