Following the release of security footage following an open records request by The Oregonian, a GOP lawmaker is facing charges.

"An Oregon lawmaker who let violent far-right demonstrators into the state Capitol during a Dec. 21 special session was criminally charged on Friday with first-degree official misconduct and second-degree criminal trespass," the newspaper reported. "Rep. Mike Nearman, R-Independence, was caught on security videos opening a door and allowing demonstrators to enter the building. He had been under investigation since at least January for enabling the breach."

Nearman has a court appearance scheduled for May 11.

"The first-degree official misconduct charge is for allegedly knowingly taking action that constituted an unauthorized exercise of his official duties to benefit someone else, according to court filings. The second charge is for allegedly abetting another person to enter and remain in the Capitol," The Oregonian reported.

3. I'm sure this has been asked before...

Why wasn't the Capitol sealed off as a crime scene on January 6th? Was ANYONE arrested or even stopped inside the building or the grounds?
