Ryan Reilly, who is justice reporter at NBC News and author of a brand new book came out just yesterday, Sedition Hunters. How January 6th broke the justice system?
Your book is really interesting because you mentioned things about the FBI and casting some data on the competence of the FBI. This is a really important part of the story, because what you write about is the online sleuths who helped catch the January 6th rioters. And the title of your book, and when I first got it in the mail, I was really struck by it.
The Sedition Hunters, How January 6th Broke the Justice System.
My takeaway was that if it had been just left up to the justice system, to the FBI, to the intelligence services, we wouldn't have really broken this case, would we?
The book is Sedition Hunters, How January 6th Broke the Justice System. It is a really an incredible read. It is very eye opening. It's very entertaining.
