According to Ayanna Pressley’s chief of staff Sarah Groh, the panic buttons in the Congresswoman’s office were all “torn out—the whole unit.”

They don’t know why or who did it.

I hope those protecting Democracy are Ready & Super Prepared!

13. You're correct

Won’t say “right”

With practically every news story, it worsens.

3. I have no idea why, of course

But I surmise that that one Russian woman they brought in, the one who spoke no English, was not there to install telephone cables for Verizon.

7. This is the first I've read about anything like this occurring during ...

last week's failed Trump Coup Attempt. Have any other cases of this happening been reported?

9. Terrifying

This just keeps get crazier and crazier. I wonder if we're going to end up seeing some members charged.

11. DAMN!

12. The more that comes out, the uglier it gets.

14. More proof this was highly coordinated from the inside.

[raccoon]

20. Well said! A lot of planning involved. Nt

15. We need to find out who got in, and the timeline

[DSandra]

16. It never ceases to astonish me how evil these Republicans are...

I joke sometimes saying that they are so evil that they school the Devil.

17. This is scary

I think that is the point of terrorism. On the one hand citizens of democracies have to be aware of the nutbaggery being stoked in their own countries.

But on the other hand, fear-mongering (by the pro-Trump coup supporters) doesn't work once the reality is recognized. At the end of the day, the whole thing failed-as will all future attempts in democracies.

This just all ended up looking super lame. It went the way of ISIS - only a lot faster.
Not that it isn't all scary. However, if one can also remember that it is also super lame, it is better for one's own mental health. Mental tightrope..super scary but also super lame. That is a Boston Globe article so I would assume this is true. I have never cared for conspiracy theories, but I have now seen in rt how dangerous they are.
And I expect a lot of projection to come from the right-that liberals will want them to be surveilled merely for being conservative, ask for draconian punishments eschewing due process and transparency. I wish it was possible to reassure conservatives that it is mostly people on their side who like fascism. Liberals are unlikely to despise the rights of conservatives or cynically disregard accuracy. It isn't about "winning" and "losing"...

18. Does believing in a conspiracy make me a conspiracy theorist?

I hope we are all clear this was a conspiracy. Some conspiracies are true.

[SheltieLover]

19. Maybe happened during "tours" 1/5?

Scary though!

[tanyev]

21. Holy crap.
