We've seen how that works out: they just escalate once they're out; acquiring pipe bombs, etc.

were disconnected prior to Jan 6th so they couldn't call for help, Nancy's office was one of them.
Hopefully the Jan 6th commission will find out who, what, when, & how.

but I do watch some and I've never heard half of these things reported on the mainstream media. Why is that? Is it just a matter of "let's just sweep this under the rug and hope the public isn't interested"?

It's the first I've heard about the disabled panic buttons too.

More like the reQublicans are doing so much stupid stuff, what's the most outrageous to report on.
Plus they still have the daily stuff, weather, building collapse, etc.

The MSM is mostly corporate owned. The CEO's of those corporations are mostly republicans. They are mostly greedy pieces of shit that believe it is their divine right to not have to pay taxes and to always set the narrative.

All three morning shows on ABC, CBS, NBC reported on the secret wedding of two country stars though. (I think they're country celebrities but I don't follow much celebrity news and have no idea who most of them are nowadays.)

and it's very concerning that they were disconnected. If a lone criminal or a small group of them had infiltrated the Capitol and security didn't know their exact whereabouts, then panic buttons would have helped.

On January 6, Capitol police knew before either house of Congress did that they were under siege. Panic buttons going off in various offices did little more than notify security that the occupants knew about the infiltrators that were all over security cameras. I may as well call a friend in the Florida Keys to tell her it's raining right now.

But, it is serious. If and when empty-G or booboo-bert decide to go crazy with illegal weaponry they smuggled in, the panic buttons would be useful. This is definitely something to be added to the investigation.

The fact that they knew where they were to then disconnect them is telling.

--it could have been Lauren Boebert. My money is on Boebert. At least one Democratic representative saw her give a tour of the Capital to a group of unidentified people just days before the assault. Boebert claims they were family members. But because of Covid no tours were allowed so it just seems suspicious. The House needs to look into this and jail her ass if she was aiding the insurrectionists.

It's known that asshole was confirmed to be at the Trump Tower meeting on Jan. 5th. The evidence that he's a traitor is there.
