WASHINGTON – Chemical damage to presidential statues and paintings, the destruction of the inauguration platform, and the lasting impact on staff are among the damage top Capitol administrative officials are set to detail to lawmakers on Wednesday as they probe the aftermath of the Jan. 6 riot.

In prepared testimony for a key panel overseeing funding for legislative operations Wednesday morning, House of Representatives Curator Farar Elliott will tell lawmakers her department needs at least $25,000 for the emergency repairs and conservation of historical artifacts in the Capitol – including potential chemical damage to statues and paintings of past U.S. presidents like Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams and James Madison.

The portraits and statues were among those outside the House chamber on Jan. 6, Elliott said, and they were "covered in a fine powder, likely residue from a chemical spray." She noted various sprays were used in the building on Jan. 6, including bear mace and fire extinguishers.

"Courageous staffers" spared other artifacts like a historic inkstand and the Mace of the House during the riot, Elliott says.

1. The acids sprayed around will induce damage for years.

Most of it not visible, yet.

Still no mention of the feces. Why? Because, they can't defend it. It clearly shows the mentality of those insurrectionist and their cult leader.

10. It's a display of contempt and dominance among...

Extremely primitive species and tribes. Especially, those who have cannibalistic tendencies.

Somewhat common among the amygdala thinking crowd such as this cult.

It's thought to occur because the center of aggression, anger, and pleasure are closely located in the ancient 'pear shaped' (amygdala) or reptilian lump of brain at the top of the spinal cord.

Too much info?
