MORE: Rep. Tim Ryan says the allegations center around a "couple" of lawmakers who led "handfuls" of people through the Capitol on Jan. 5. But he says he won't name them until there's more verificaiton.

1. They should have video of everything

Don't they?

[SheltieLover]

2. Same ones carrying weapons into House chamber, by chance?

[TheRealNorth]

7. Probably a pretty safe bet

[dalton99a]

3. Kick

[MontanaMama]

4. The private tours have to be on camera, right?

No wonder the traitor party is so bent on unity and moving on from this.

[SheltieLover]

8. If so, why haven't they been arrested?

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Remember the people who would be doing the investigations (civil servants)

would have no idea what all 535 members of Congress would look like. Even CSPAN has problems getting the name chyrons up on some members.

They would have to review the footage at different times and attempt to id who was in the frames.

[SheltieLover]

12. Yes, but FBI could do it

[BumRushDaShow]

14. The FBI are....

CIVIL SERVANTS!

[RVN VET71]

24. Yep.

And the Bureau has the equipment and manpower to do a very thorough archive search to identify the congress critters -- and as well as the people they are docenting around the Cap. Building. More importantly, the Bureau will then cross-check the “tour group” against videos and pics of people identified as participants in the attack.

Any videos showing faces of congresspeople and terrorists in the Capitol Building the day before the attack will be used to help the Feds decide who gets charged with what. The congressional representatives, of course, will be in serious legal jeopardy.

It’s not popcorn time until the trials start, but there are going to be a lot of trials so get your popcorn orders in early!

[moondust]

25. +1

May take some time to do all that ID work with so many unfamiliar faces.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. I'm sure they have facial recognition tools, etc.

They probably have that data regardless (as would whoever runs the Capitol's probably contracted-out NOS) but they would need to verify other records of what floor activity was scheduled, etc.). They have to be rock solid before they act (and may even call a grand jury to decide).

(I am a retired fed as a FYI )

[RVN VET71]

29. If "The Blacklist" is any indication of the tech the FBI possesses

the individuals involved have almost certainly been ID’d already. But this is a massive, massive investigation and the FBI tries to play things close to the vest until arrest and indictment time.

[BumRushDaShow]

30. Exactly

and I expect multiple grand juries are being empaneled as we speak!

[MerryBlooms]

6. R&K

[SoCalNative]

9. Pretty sure

one of them was Boebert, based on the photo she posted on her Instagram, then deleted. Shows her with a group of people that some were later identified as having been at the Capitol on the 6th

[Nevilledog]

10. That photo was not taken on the 5th, but does show connection to insurrectionists.

17. We should not be spreading falsehoods, makes us as bad as repugs.

[Kingofalldems]

23. What falsehoods are you talking about?

[KS Toronado]

28. See post #10 above my statement, the fact check says photo was not taken Jan 5th.

[Kingofalldems]

33. Post #9 said no such thing.

She posted it on her Instagram the day before the terrorists struck. No one said it was taken at the Capitol.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. And connection to white supremacists via hand signalling. All 4 circled are signalling

Security at the event provided by III %'ers, and Bikers for Trump or Proud Boys. All three groups were in attendance.

Boebert, in the photo, was an organizer of the event.

[groundloop]

31. Thanks for that clarification.... it's always good to have the facts correct.

SO.... while we don't YET have proof that Boebert met with known insurrectionists on Jan. 5th we do at least know that she's had contact with some of them in the past.

[Stuart G]

15. Pictures, Pictures, and More Pictures...Proof for who??? The FBI....

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. Good! Let their treacherous names be known too!

[womanofthehills]

37. Sounds like it's all on CCTV - claims has inside contact

This Might Not be true - but it might.

38. I hope it's true!

Time will tell.

Jim Jordan (OH) being involved wouldn't surprise me at all!

[58Sunliner]

16. Security for these people please.

I don't trust these repukes-they might bring in a bomb or hide a weapon for someone. They are all in on murder and sedition.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. Democrats elected in 2018 are a particularly strong group

[RedSpartan]

20. That's my Representative!

Love you, Mikie!

[BobTheSubgenius]

21. It may well be that it was only a "couple" and a few "handfuls."

But it only takes one.

[erronis]

35. That sorta sounds like a typical police union response to a cop murdering someone

"It just takes one bad apple..."

Unfortunately, we're seeing a whole of of "one bad apples" everywhere.

[blue-wave]

22. I might be wrong but

if they did lead ‘reconnaissance’ tours through the capitol building, isn't that treason? Benedict Arnold was caught stealing away with General Kosciuszko's plans for the fortifications of West Point. Very close to the same thing in my opinion. Any experts with a point of view on this?

[japple]

27. Betcha a nickel that my new Rep., Machine Gun Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of

those "tour guides."

[groundloop]

32. Yep, I've been thinking the same thing.

I used to live in her district but had to move for a job, now I'm just over the border in Alabama and unfortunately had to listen to her insane radio commercials before the election. That woman is totally unhinged.

[ananda]

34. Uh oh.. the big question is: why just post it on FB?

Why wasn't this reported to both House leadership
and law enforcement?

Not that I don't think it's true.. but still.....

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

36. How do you know it wasn't reported?

[womanofthehills]

39. Of course it was reported - it was reported by 30 congress reps

Also - no tours allowed because of Covid.
