Just in: Source confirms the US Attorney’s office is in possession of security camera footage of possible rioters being given tours before the Capitol attack — but nothing else. No visitor logs or entry records.

Am told the US Attorney’s office only received security footage, in part bc formal visitor logs don’t exist for tours organized thru congressional offices with the Capitol closed as a result of coronavirus.

Lets focus on them 1st. The rest can be face matched to Insurrections in the growing video catalogs taken at the scene of the crime.

I saw some graphics of the location data from the parler posts on Jan 6 from in and around the Capitol by the insurrectionist who did Parler posts.

I think that they should also look for Parler posts done in the days before this especially if the same people were back during the insurrection.

I am sure that the jackasses would have been crowing if they were getting these tours before hand.

The republican congresscritters are acting like nada happened and continuing with the "stop and steal" bullshit. It will be exposed who they are. I'm one who feels it was an inside job and the WH purposelessly and deliberately ignored the request for National Guards. They planned this insurrection hoping for another outcome.

And the sad thing about what happened on 1/6/2021, if not exposed, shithole and the republicans will do it again,

painful (meaning the price must be high).

This white nationalism, white supremacy, militia bullshit has been building for a good long time. The FBI designated them as the number one domestic terrorism threat, but that report was quietly filed away. It was not popular, and very uncomfortable... So, here we are.

It has to be dealt with in a long term campaign.

by the end of April, at least one congress-critter is going down for their involvement in the Jan 6th insurrection. My guess at the time was that it'll be one of the capital "tour guides" that will probably be revealed on those tapes.
PLEASE, just so I can win my $1, arrest one of those bastards!!!!

I'm guessing it might make them a little nervous, being law enforcement and all.

They're gonna have a hard time GOPsplaining this.

They can be interviewed, questioned about who told or asked them to give the tours.

QOP leaders already know who was involved, and have known since day one. QOP are all making big money off these traitors, so nothing will happen as long as the money flows. The FBI will not be arresting any of the Q's in Congress. There will be loads of outrage from the sane contingent, then nothing done, because Congressional rules, etc... Maybe another couple votes to strip committee seats? Doubtful. The traitors have been showing themselves even before they were elected, that's how they got elected. mccarthy and mcconnell aren't gonna do shit, except rake in the money and check internal polling to make sure they don't piss off the violent Q's.

Is the news that this information is now in the hands of the US Attorney? Seems like it's taken a long, long time, if that's it.

I was under the impression that this was already known.

You can bet, mccarthy and mcconnell have reassured the traitors their positions are safe, as long as the money keeps flowing.
