Spoiler!

"We are at about 270 cases at the moment and we expect to be beyond 300 after the day, and then increase exponentially after that".

Holy ####.

Edit: They aren't ####ing around. Good. Finally.

Also

• 98 active Federal felony charges
• 140,000 pictures and videos reported by the American public
• 40 arrests
• 140 in custody
• "If this was a football game, we're still in the first quarter"
• "You attack one of us, you attack us all"
• "Every FBI field office in the country is looking for you. In fact your friends and family are tipping us off. So you might want to turn yourself in instead of wondering when we'll knock on your door. Because we will."
• ~37 suspects in Officer's Sidnick's death (ABC News estimate)
• No direct evidence yet of kill/capture teams
• Devices did not explode on the 6th, they were disarmed by special teams
• Regarding whether there was any involvement from lawmakers, the agencies are looking into it
• Several people have turned themselves in with Defense lawyers. "We are not cutting deals with anyone, they will still be held accountable. In some cases they are reporting activity of others. We encourage anyone to turn themselves in, it may benefit you." (paraphrase). As others have pointed out, these seem like a contradiction, but turning yourself in and cooperating can achieve things like reduced sentences, which is not the same thing as cutting a deal.
• Regarding definitively how Officer Sidnick died... still under investigation.
• Journalist asked: How credible of a threat are the upcoming days? Not answered
