They're like Pokemen... Gotta catch them all.

The FBI is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying individuals who made unlawful entry into the U.S. Capitol building and committed various other alleged criminal violations, such as destruction of property, assaulting law enforcement personnel, targeting members of the media for assault, and other unlawful conduct, on January 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C.

You can call ‪1-800-CALL-FBI (1-‪800-225-5324) to verbally report tips and/or information related to this investigation, or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

Should be noted that you can report anonymously. They would obviously rather have you give creds but will understand and still appreciate it if you don't.

Absolutely. You can do so anonymously via the website and through the tip line. I encourage anyone who thinks they know something, to please say something.

I used to lurk on a (now defunct) public pro-Trump message board, mainly because I was fascinated by their fear and misery. When they started rumbling about Jan 6 they were literally talking about bringing weapons, the tactical gear they had purchased, going to “war” and taking lives. I regret not reporting it. Figuring the Feds probably knew about the website already. Maybe they did, either way….I regret not reporting it. I took screen shots..

FWIW, if the FBI wants to find the source of an anonymous tip, that's not gonna be hard for them.

It's not anonymous. They know who you are since most people don't mask their online presence. They just aren't going to go out of their way to talk to you if they don't have to.

Edit: If you think I'm wrong then anonymously submit random made up bullshit about serious crimes multiple times. If it's anonymous then nothing will happen, if it's not, then you'll get a knock at your door. There's no such thing as anonymity when you're on any government site unless you go out of your way to mask your digital signature.

You're saying they will not respect peoples wishes to remain anonymous?

Got a source for that?

"Reporting anonymously" is not the same as "The FBI doesn't know who you are when reporting". If reporting to the FBI was anonymous, they would have no way to counteract spamming or flooding of their system. When you report anonymously, all you're telling them is "please don't contact me about this".

I don't know how to provide a source for something as basic as this. That's like asking to provide a source that air is air.

This is good but the government needs far more help getting up the nerve to file indictments against the top echelon of this attempted coup, Trump et al. If in the end hundreds of his followers go to jail and none of them are even charged, I will have the worst belly ache.
