1. Little Lauren's treading on some dangerous territory. Lying little snot.

[Dakota Flint]

34. It's beginning to look like sedition

All around the nation,
Soon the treason trials will begin.
And the traitors will sing...
to protect their very necks...

[Iliyah]

2. Wouldn't the Capitol Building have it on camera? . .

[underpants]

6. That seems to be the obvious solution here

but is there some sort of special rule that covers members of Congress?

[Progressive Jones]

16. Congress persons are allowed to give tours, but if her guests turn up in

the investigations as participants of the attack, she's fucked.

I have no doubt that the Capitol Bldg. has video surveillance.
If Boebert did anything shady, the authorities either already know, or they'll know very soon.

Boebert surely sees herself as "smarter" than everyone else. She's not one of the "sheep", you know.

She's nowhere as smart as she thinks she is, especially up against Federal law enforcement.

[underpants]

18. They could be holding off until after the Inauguration

or they may be following people to see if they lead to bigger fish. ???

[Progressive Jones]

19. Could be. This is bigger than some trespassing violation. The Feds believe there was inside help.

If anyone on the inside got involved, it's a major case.

[Grokenstein]

44. Those panic buttons didn't disable themselves.

[volstork]

32. Exactly this:

Boebert surely sees herself as "smarter" than everyone else. She's not one of the "sheep", you know.

Liars gonna lie.

[OMGWTF]

36. No tours of Congress have been given since last March. This is a clear violation. On many levels.

[BigmanPigman]

48. Bingo!

[LeftInTX]

53. Pete Sessions gave one on Jan 4th - and this was to a Stop the Steal group

No one is talking about Pete Sessions...

He tweeted it, then deleted it.

[canuckledragger]

41. She reminds me of my sister

Lies her ass off all the time about literally everything, thinking she has everyone fooled...when in reality it's the exact opposite.

The only one she fools is herself.

[DeeDeeNY]

46. Actually they've been prohibited from giving tours

since last March - because of Covid

[Progressive Jones]

50. I stand corrected. I still believe this harpie to be complicit in the attack. nt

[DeeDeeNY]

51. I'm sure you're right

[Ford_Prefect]

54. Capitol Security specifically told Congress members and Staff not to engage in tours at this time

due to COVID-19 exposure rules as applied throughout the Capitol building. This was not an optional exception allowed to members when Boebert and others did so on Jan. 5th.

According to several of the 30 members who have complained it was a seriously egregious violation of Capitol health and safety rules that even NEW members had been briefed on in no uncertain terms. This is was not an "Oops, I'm sorry" moment. It is clear there was a pattern to the tours, who was leading them, and who was included. According to witnesses this is the period during which the office panic buttons were torn out.

The whole question of who led and who participated in those inappropriate and forbidden tours is just as serious as who sabotaged Capitol Building Security. This was not an error in judgement. It was a recon mission in aid of those who attacked on the 6th.

[spooky3]

55. They were NOT allowed to give tours after March due to Covid. There was another thread

on DU discussing this. Nevilledog also posted a link to a letter from the Sergeant at Arms to the members. It was dated December 29, 2020 and it reiterated this policy.

10. Hard To Believe There Aren't Cameras In Those Tunnels

That seems like it would be among the first places to put cameras.

[moonscape]

20. I'm sure there are and assume this is an investigation and they

aren't releasing info or videos to the public.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Of Course You're Right

Why would they release anything yet?
That seems like something they would do after they set charges.

[TheRickles]

26. She could make it onto Trump's pardon list if she's accused before Wednesday.

[Kitchari]

38. Agree

After Wednesday we will see a lot more disclosed, and more movement for arrests

[theneworiginal]

47. Whether she is accused or not by then he can pardon her.

The problem with that is a pardon is a in acknowledgment of an underlying crime and she would be booted from Congress immediately. Sounds good to me

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Great Point!

I was in a cab if I wasn't in the building. I think only one or the 5 or so times did I go anywhere else. Went to the Archive once. Paid less attention to cameras there.
In the Capitol, I don't think I could move 50 feet without seeing another 1 or 2 cameras.
I didn't even stay in DC.
I stayed in Arlington when I went there.
I went to Arlington at least once a year, usually twice for probably 20 years.
Industry association HQ is there.

[underpants]

3. Robert is like Trump, she stepped out of a bubble and out of her league

I think she and her husband were local celebrities especially after her from-out-of-nowhere win and she’s not used to having to answer questions. Much like Palin too.

[Botany]

4. Bang Bang Barbie

"Oh that mother ... I had her confused with somebody else."

1 week or more till she is gone.

[MontanaMama]

5. I guess it all depends on what the meaning of "tour" is.

Bang Bang is going down.

[PA_jen]

7. Interesting. Maybe the internet is correct about the pink hat lady.

[OMGWTF]

40. The pink hat bullhorn lady who looks just like mom!

[PA_jen]

49. yeah.

[Cha]

8. genius.. Boebert's mom

unwittingly, I assume.. gave her seditionist daughter UP!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

9. Q*bert didn't think this through, did she?

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Apparently Unaware of The Hundreds Of Cameras, Too

I've been to the Capitol a few times since 9/11. Being only in open, public spaces I had to see 50 cameras.
And, the last time I was there was around 2014. Perhaps a year back from that.
I can only imagine there'd be more now, given how the cost has fallen.
I would also guess there are probably cameras we can't identify as cameras!
But, this dimwit thought she could sneak around in there unmonitored.

[wnylib]

28. Like the other insurrectionists,

she no doubt thought that being identified was not a problem if the coup had succeded in keeping Trump in power. I'm sure that's why they were all so bold and proud of what they were doing. They expected to be honored as heroes.

Stupid for thinking they would succeed. Stupid for thinking they would not be tracked down and pay the consequences.

[Kitchari]

31. That's the thing:

They seemed to think there was no possibility of failure, so all of them flaunted breaking the law - even taking countless selfies of their own crimes.

[wnylib]

42. Yep, living in a fantasy, yelling 1776

because they fancied themselves as colonial Minutemen or founding fathers reincarnated.

[Kitchari]

43. Fantasy is correct -

Out of reality and proud of it.

[UpInArms]

11. The lies just never really work out

Oh, what a tangled web we weave ...

[Baked Potato]

12. Maybe they are letting her lie herself into a trap.

Then, use the leverage for more details.

[NotASurfer]

14. Could be physical manifestations of multiple personalities

Kind of like a Stephen King novel. No actual tour being given, just...supernatural evil walking the halls of the Capitol building.

[MagickMuffin]

15. And . . . Does Mama have green fingernail polish

asking for a friend!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

22. I noticed that on pink-hat too!

I couldn't quite tell from the below pic of Q*bert's mother just days earlier, with most of the fingers curled away.

The left thumbnail MIGHT have the same faded green color? (I had to magnify it a LOT. Then... maybe?)



Edit: And the faint green fingernails seen here...

[Quixote1818]

17. Conhen said it was a "Large group" of people. Boebert said it was just her family

But her Mom was the only one there on the 4th and 5th so if it was a large group then really nothing is matching up here. Boebert is all over the place.

[dchill]

25. They KNOW. They're slow walking the investigation...

...until after they can blame it on "Biden's DOJ."

[uponit7771]

29. +1, this is the main reason we don't have over 500 charge seeing these idiots basically gave ...

... their names addresses etc.

[sarcasmo]

30. Boebert belongs in prison.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

33. The fake POTUS most egregious crime...

was lowering the level of discourse and intelligence to where the most ignorant of group thinkers believe only him.

It's a crime against democracy.

[BunnyMcGee]

52. We see why he loves the poorly educated

Encouragement almost 4 years ago.

[Ferrets are Cool]

35. It really bothers the FUCK outta me that we are still having to debate whether this happened

and WHO gave the tours. UNLESS, the people who DO know are waiting until we have a real President in the Oval Office to release the videos that we KNOW they have.

[2naSalit]

37. Lock them up.

[PatrickforO]

39. You can't just lie, Lauren. You have brought shame on the great state of Colorado and

its people.

You, Lauren, are a whack-a-doodle who is just a plain 'bad fit' in Congress. I'm thinking you would fit in much better in a federal prison.

[ShazzieB]

45. The more I learn about Boebert's mother...

The more I can see where Lauren got her crazy.

She's a chip off the old blockette!

[BobTheSubgenius]

56. "When I say 'no tours,' i, of course meant...

...very few."
