Mar. 9—A man now living in Girdwood was arrested Thursday on federal charges that accuse him of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Eric Richard Staples, 33, appears to be one of four people with Alaska connections to be charged in the riot that has so far resulted in the arrests of more than 1,100.
Staples, who had his first hearing Thursday in Anchorage federal court, told U.S. Magistrate Judge Matthew Scoble that he and his wife live in Girdwood. He provided little additional personal information.
It wasn't immediately clear why Staples' arrest came more than three years after the attack on the Capitol. Daniel Ball, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of Columbia, said the lapse in time was "just part of the investigatory process" when asked about the delay. Ball did not provide additional details about that process.

Most of them have been indicted and are in the process of preparing to be tried in some court - whether state or federal. 
Remember this?
Just because the craven GOP decided to make an "Atlanta Housewives" reality show distraction out of Fani Willis, those "top" people are still under criminal indictment.
A big chunk of the J6 low-hanging fruit plead guilty and got sentenced. Meanwhile, most of the big wigs are still fighting it, except this crew (plus a fake elector) who did plea deals -
And this is because they have the resources to ensure their own "due process" while others don't have such.
The amnesia is strong but then there is so much going on that it is easy to get distracted and forget what has happened this past year.
