Cool, cite it.

> Brooks Brothers Riot wiki page

That's a seperate event. What does that have to do with the Capitol riots? On what specific wiki? Do you mean Wikipedia? Wikipedia not a citable reference, according to Wikipedia.

I think if your parent comment gets nuked the burden of proof shifts to you, but here's a starting point I shouldn't have to provide:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_proceedings_in_the_Ja...

You'll notice many specific claims have things called footnotes that you can click on for corroborating data sources.

> That's a seperate event. What does that have to do with the Capitol riots?

Familiarize yourself with it and if the relationship isn't obvious I can help. Of course, you don't have to believe in a correlation to understand that Jan 6 was premeditated by many participants, it's just a fun piece of Roger Stone lore!

> On what specific wiki? Do you mean Wikipedia?

Yeah typically when someone references "wiki" without qualification they mean https://wikipedia.org. It's the de facto standard for general information, even in the LLM era.

> Wikipedia not a citable reference, according to Wikipedia.

What on earth are you blathering about? If you have a problem with a data source you are welcome to seek alternatives. That doesn't somehow mean an event didn't occur or is unknowable.
