Responding to reports that US Capitol Insurrectionists had floor plans of complex on Jan. 6.

Architect of Capitol acknowledges floor plans are kept on secured server, but hard copies are distributed to House members who request or need it

Greene
Gosar
Brooks
Hawley
Bolert? (Bobert?)
I've heard reports that all these asses were giving tours to the traitors on 1/5, but would love for it to be proven for anyone and everyone and then those members get kicked out of Congress and tried on criminal charges.

they're freshmen coming in so I would suspect they requested maps as soon as the were sworn in. That could have easily been transmitted to the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and other groups.

But I very seriously doubt those maps laid out the secure offices and that needs to be investigated. How did they know where they were, even if they didn't necessarily know who's office they were attacking.

then presumably funneled to the insurrectionists. The former is simpler and seems far more likely. I can't think of any other way this would leak.

Would the architect have a record of House members requesting this info? If so, there's your smoking gun.

...I got the impression each member has one, or a suite, but anyway there are no names on the doors. You have to know where you are going, & she said it took her ages to figure out even part of it.

She and her husband turned out the lights, got on the floor, and stayed there for hours.

The insurrectionists were down there, hammering on doors, and calling out people by name. They gave every indication of knowing the layout. She said she was sure they had a map.
