Did anyone think to cut off the internet at the Capitol during this assault?

There were unauthorized people looking at files and computers and e-mails...was the sitaution addressed or are they STILL rooting through things now, hours later?

The ones photographed in Speaker Pelosi's office should be arrested and detained immediately, there should be a manhunt to secure them right now.

That would shut down the electronics also make looking at things a little harder unless they had sunlight or night vision goggles.
