Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsSo I was thinking today about a very real possibility if Russian or DRNK or
Chinese military soldiers secreting themselves among the rioters with concealed firearms on their person and really causing Chosas and havoc.
I think the Capitol police commanders who were blatantly dreelict in their duties should be questioned in a Congressional hearing and made to answer concernoing this.
Yers> What kind of damage and loss of life could have been prosecuted if trained military were allowed to roam the house with automatic weapons, handguns, explosives and grenades.
I think it is something Cruz and Hawley should be made to ponder and answer for.
Also Gohmert and Graham and the others.

Police records indicate that a Russian-speaking mother and daughter, Yevgeniya and Kristina Malimon, were arrested Wednesday night and charged with unlawful entry and a curfew violation. The Portland, Oregon, women "did enter or attempt to enter" the Capitol building, according to police records, and were arrested after ignoring "at least 3 warnings" from officers to disperse. Neither woman responded to multiple requests for comment from ABC News.
The younger Malimon, 29-year-old Kristina, appears to be the vice chair of the Oregon Young Republicans and appears to own social media accounts filled with pro-Trump content. Prosecutors were asked to provide a Russian language interpreter at Thursday's arraignment of Kristina's mother, Yevgeniya. Both women were released Thursday after pleading not guilty to the charges against them in court.
Yevgeniya Malimon, speaking through the court-appointed interpreter, denied the allegations against her during a hearing on Thursday, saying. "I'm not sure what unlawful entry you are talking about; I didn't enter anything."

Although Russian language, I don't think this is a Putin-Russia connection. Lots of former Soviet-bloc people are anti-communist and super conservative. Kristina says her family was persecuted for being Christian in Moldova.
