NEW: The FBI is investigating a claim that a PA woman who rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6 stole a laptop from Speaker Pelosi's office and intended to sell it to the Russians.
The FBI says she appears to have fled. More about this bizarre case:

Photos show that the woman, Riley Williams, was in the Capitol near Pelosi's office during the riot.
A witness believed to be a former romantic interest said friends showed him a video of Williams discussing plans to sell device to Russian intel. https://politico.com/news/2021/01/17/pelosi-laptop-office-capitol-460147

(7,604 posts)The Capitol Building is wired thick with surveillance cameras. High resolution surveillance cameras. It's a near certainty that Riley Williams is all over the camera footage. IMO, the FBI is determining the credibility of people whom they're interviewing by comparing rioters' statements with what the FBI SEES on the video files.

Something us up with that appointment. He is after something . Something to be passed along or shredded. Etc.

(43,322 posts)NSA is able to both appear to follow the law and be undetectably above the law at all times.
It's an ugly reality in our side's favor, but one that justifies the hate of the right for the "deep state," futilely dealt with as it presently is.
Still, institutions are surviving because of NSA help right now, which is a good thing.

(114,650 posts)that any of this bullshit was a good idea.
Also, it's not like Russian agents are hanging out on street corners and looking for hot computers from total dumbasses. What was she planning to do, list it on Ebay like the guy who stole the podium did?
And they wonder why we think they're stupid.
