Just saw that Boebert from Colorado give her speech during the impeachment hearing

Why hasn't she been arrested for her part in the insurrection? I've seen her in pictures with participants prior to the riot? I've heard she tweeted the whereabouts of Nancy Pelosi during the riot?


edited to be fair to Boebert's age

I think the FBI is looking at her for that and more.

Possibly by DHS and ATF too.

It is a matter of time before she is brought down.

we are being given enough information to know that a lot more is coming.

Until Trump is removed from office, he can use the pardoning powers of the President to pardon everyone. From my view, I believe that the low hanging fruit is being charged right now and the charges do not include sedition. If Trump pardons them for the crimes they have been charged with now, the feds will simply charge them with more serious crimes after he is removed. I believe that Inauguration Day and the days afterword are going to be very busy days.

and should be treated as a grown woman because she is. She needs to be charged with crimes and expelled from the House. Let's see what happens after the Inauguration on January 20.
