Boebert needs to be expelled from Congress and charged by the FBI for sedition immediately. She was literally giving the terrorists Pelosi's location so they could come kill her.

In September 2019, Boebert became involved in gun rights activism, by challenging Beto O'Rourke at an Aurora town hall meeting during his 2020 presidential campaign over his proposal for a gun buyback program, saying, "Hell, no, you wont take our guns".Later that month, she opposed a gun control measure at a meeting of the Aspen City Council. In November 2020, Boebert said she planned to carry a gun while working as a congresswoman on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

Only Pelosi was the topic of that tweet. Nothing about the situation, or "some are being moved", or anything like "they are splitting us up". It was only about where Pelosi was or wasn't, no one else.
Evidence says she was working with the terrorists. There needs to be a full investigation of her and if guilty she should be charged with treason.

Rilgin
(787 posts)I watched the day with trepidation. The news real time reported and showed the secret service escorting their charges out of the Senate and House chambers including Pelosi. I watched numerous senators and house members being asked real time where they were and they told them. What was going on in the chamber was not a secret because the event was covered by cameras and reporters.
It was a big deal that the secret service escorted Nancy (my representative in fact) out of the chamber and I am pretty sure that others including democrats were tweeting and texting similar statements There is no reason for us to over play things that occurred or real time statements by people who were telling what was happening to them. What occurred in fact was bad enough and the part you are pointing to was fully and widely reported real time about the speaker among others being removed.
Now for the actual sedition on her part. I saw in reading the twitter thread, that before the actual riot she tweeted in big letters 1776 again. This is the sedition, egging them on, not the information that the speaker of the house was removed from the house chambers which was reported real time on the news and probably by numerous other representatives and senators. It was in fact the first thing I told my father, 'they are attacking the congress and the secret service removed Pence, Pelosi and all the other specific charges. Let us be democrats and get to the real issues not somewhat manufactured outrage from not specific communications.
kcr
(15,314 posts)There was no reason for her to tweet out where Pelosi was or wasn't. She was helping out her friends.
Rilgin
(787 posts)What the republican party did in enabling trump was treason. The attack should be prosecuted from everyone participating. She can be found culpable on the basis of her 1776 tweet. However, we do not need to make connections to every communication that do not exist.
However, that particular tweet said nothing. The house chamber was being televised real time including the removal of the speaker from the House which ended the session. She was not providing some priveleged or directed information as to where Nancy was. MILLIONS and MILLIONS of people watching TV knew the same thing real time that he was being removed from the House chamber. This republican is clearly one of the cultist but was not the information center for the "revolution" of idiots.
Attack and fight the republicans on what was important about that day, not things that were not actually part of the plot. This cultist has been attacking the constitution and egged on these protestors. She was not the lynch pin of revolutionary communications. And stop attacking democrats if they do not agree with you on the seriousness of one fact while being outraged on others.
hadEnuf
(2,175 posts)to keep up on breaking news.
Her tweet was to a specific audience about a specific official.
Rilgin
(787 posts)Yes I doubt that they were watching tv but the organizers and donald trump was. I do not think the people running in the halls were checking this one twitter account for their info either. That is the point. Without further information you have no idea.
If this was their communication network, it was pretty pathetic. The capitol police and and the white house and defense department have trump sympathizers and would have had better information to give the rioters. You seem to think that their communication network and their revolution of idiots depended on a freshman congressperson tweets where she probably didnt even know where they took the speaker of the Hourse.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar if you know the reference. If the news was reporting the same thing, then if this was coordinated, they would have texted the information from news reports and if coordinated they might have actually had actual information.
But dont let me stop you from continuing to focus on a tweet that mirrored lots of other communications coming out of the house chamber rather than the actual sedition coming from the white house and rioters outside and the republican senators and representatives, pundits and activists contesting an election on lies.
hadEnuf
(2,175 posts)her intent. It doesn't matter if her information was received and acted on by the terrorists. She's a congress person and if she was trying to help them in any way she needs to be removed.
No one here is trying to solely focus on one tweet, however given her position and her radical politics it needs to be looked into and not simply dismissed as coincidence.
Rilgin
(787 posts)I am pointing to the things that were wrong other than a single tweet. You on the other hand "know" her intent in a single tweet as does everything about this thread. The claim is not that she supports Qanon (which she does) or that she is a hard core nutty trumpest or even that she does not belong in congress. This thread and your post say you are mind readers and know her intent in tweeting non specific information. This thread insists that she was "directing" the rioters. I am saying that if she her intent was direction, it ws pretty poor direction. You read her intention as saying dont come there which is not what she said.
So investigate her. I would be in favor of expelling her from the house based on her earlier tweet, her support of baseless election lies and potential complicitly in supporting the riot before hand. I just cant read intention into a tweet that does not direct anything but says the most important person has just ended the hearing and left without saying where she was taken.
hadEnuf
(2,175 posts)but it is certainly suspect. Given the situation at the time and the person's track record it is not outlandish to surmise that it was possibly nefarious in it's intent. Going on this tweet alone is not going to prove guilt or innocence, but it is a clue to the possibility of a deeper involvement in this event, which needs to be looked into along with everything else that has happened.
Rilgin
(787 posts)I do not use twitter but did use it once in a poker tournament to communicate rather than calling or texting each of my family or friend individually. This woman is a disgrace but seems to communicate with tweets. As you point out, what people on this thread are doing is reading intent into it to say something different -- a directive to look for Nancy Pelosi somewhere else. However, this requires reading intention into something that has no direct intention. Investigation hopefully will reveal the ringleaders and find the officiials who left the capitol unprepared for the protest. If they find she has a role she will be punished.
Why mention the speaker at that time anyone including news peoplle. It is because of the many people in the room, the speaker is the leader of the house and was running the hearing that was taking place. She is the most important person in the room. When she leaves the hearing was ended. This is why the news reporters reported the same thing. News reporters did not mention every representative leaving. They mentioned that the speaker and Pence were taken out of the chamber and said others were still in the chambers or in their offices.
A tweet by people who use twitter or facebook from their phone to communicate what is going on around them is not suspicious if they do it when an event like the capital riot is going on. This is not the basis of anything without any specific intent in the actual tweet. She is Qanon and it is a disgrace that she is in the house of representatives but people are trying to overstep in this case. Every word out of her mouth is not seditious. Most may be crazy but only seditious ones are seditious. The 1776 Tweet may come close.
In the actual riot, if the mob caught her, there is no certainty that she would not be hurt. Do you think that mob of idiots carried pictures and knew the face of each representative. Did the congressional people in complicity wear a badge. This was a mob made up of disparate idiots of varying degrees of any capacity to think.
If she participated in the mob, she should be prosecuted. If she was involved with pre planning and intended a mob (like Trump) hopefully it is enough to prosecute although there will still be legal issues with intent. However, communicating that you were in a location or that the actual most important person in the room which was in the middle of a hearing has left (actually been taken to safety) is not a tactical role especially since it was the same thing that was being broadcast on TV because taking the speaker away was a significant although brief point in the riot.
The sedition is not from a tweet that does not show anything that shows participation but from complicity in the republican attempt to overturn an election against her oath. If she has other legal problems related to the riot it will be from actual acts that show intention. She is a disgrace but we do not need to read intention into tweets without more.

(787 posts)It was not some secret. This was in the middle of the vote count which had tons of reporters and live cameras everywhere.
I watched the real time removal of Nancy (and pence for that matter) real time. The fact that the chamber was being shut down and the secret service removing their charges was reported real time
Lets direct our anger at the Trump and the republicans for their attacks on the constitution and inciting a riot, not for a tweet that was telling things that were being widely reported. She incited the attack in the same way Trump did by her tweet 1776. This is what she did that day which was chargeable.
TheBlackAdder
(28,167 posts)Rilgin
(787 posts)Her tweet declaring it 1776 shows some non-specific involvement or pre support in this attack on our constitution. However, I suspect like most of the republicans she was not tactically involved just like trump called for a march to the capital but didnt leave the white house.
Investigating all the inciting republicans including this one seems like a good idea but I just think its a stretch and one that deflects from the real problem to try to make her into the communication center of a riot without more than a tweet about things that were widely reported at the same time including by visuals on TV. Do you think the reporters who were telling us that the secret service was removing Nancy were directing the mob as well?
She should be removed for challenging the election against her oath and the constitution and investigated for incitement of riot for which her 1776 tweet is pretty good evidence. The tweet that is the subject of the OP is not evidence of anything without more because she did not actually tell location, she said the Speaker has left which also just says the seriousness of the riot. The speaker is one of the few constitutional offices, she is third in line for succession. Mentioning the speaker or any other special office when events occur is not really that unusual

(8,052 posts)warrants a talk-to. Not charges or immediate expulsion, just some questions. I mean, this is at the height of the danger--the initial breach into the building--for supposedly all congresspeople present. What an odd thing for her to get onto Twitter about.
JustABozoOnThisBus
(23,321 posts)But the fact that Pelosi was no longer in the chamber, that was reported on commercial media.
If that was intended to guide the assailants, she's a lousy spy.
"What an odd thing ... Twitter" - Twitter seems to be full of odd things.
BusyBeingBest
(8,052 posts)and then "the speaker has been removed from the chamber"--it's a weird, dry, brief dissemination of info that you wouldn't expect to see from someone in an extraordinary and dangerous situation on one of her first days as a Congresswoman. If there is an "OMG What is happening!" tweet or a "Scary but We are OK!" tweet I might be less suspicious.
Rilgin
(787 posts)I do not personally use twitter or facebook. However, my wife uses both and posts when we go to dinner or to friends or other places (obviously pre covid times which I miss). Just because I think its odd for me to publicly broadcast things that are happening around me using twitter and facebook, this is me. I can not say that my wife would not use social media if she was locked in place. That is the point, you might think its odd but unless there is actually more than someone saying where they personally are during an attack and that they removed the most important person in the room who is running the hearing does not mean much without more. They all wee playing with fire, that is the problem, not this without more
I seem to have memories of tv reporting real time of one of the school shootings, the TV reporter was talking to a teacher who was real time saying she was locked in a classroom with students. The newsman was asking if they could get out and other reasonable questions about what was going on inside which this teacher had little info but the teacher was clearly not giving instructions to the shooters by telling the newsman that she was locked in her classroom with other students.
So because of the 1776 post, I would definitely have people look at this representative. However, mostly I just dont want us to jump ahead of evidence and focus on the real problems with the riot and attack and not read into a tweet saying they removed the head of the congress from the chamber as directing the riot when that was widely being reported real time.

(1,979 posts)She should be questioned and her phone and laptop should be forensically examined. This will give the facts as to whether she was involved in any way with aiding and abetting this mob attack. It will also show if she deleted anything that could be incriminating.
iPhones are a wonderful thing and instant media is now necessary for tracking down criminals very quickly, especially when they are so ego-driven that they literally tweet their identity and admit their crimes.
It won't take much effort to see if she was involved. Meanwhile, I will hold my opinion and suspicion. I have faith that anyone who has supported this movement and is a member of congress will be investigated. No way will they slide by this one.

(2,886 posts)Sure, it's "Pelosi isn't here, look somewhere else," but it's also "hey, don't bring your crazed crowd to the room where I'm at." But if she hasn't used that as a defense yet, it's probably the "look somewhere else" bit.

She clearly knew what was going to happen and was a willing participant in the insurrection. She needs to be removed from Congress, arrested, and tried for sedition and conspiracy.
