"SNIP.....

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) told the New York Times that he suspects that certain members of Congress knew what would happen on January 6 and supported the attack on the Capitol.

Said Kinzinger: “I won’t name names, but yes, I do have that suspicion. I will say, if you just looked at Twitter — the whole reason I brought my gun and kept my staff home and told my wife to stay in the apartment was looking at Twitter. I saw the threats.”

He added: “If you have members of Congress who were involved in nurturing an insurrection, heck yeah, we need to know.”

1. Apparently HE did, if he brought a gun that day, and told his wife to stay home.

2. He had a feeling by watching twitter. That is different than knowing there

was a plan.

3. Yeah, I think a lot of people had a bad feeling about that day...

...and Kinzinger is somewhat of an ally in this matter. I hope we do pursue and arrest any Congresscritters who were involved.

5. I Think He Knew

At least more than a hunch from reading Twitter.
Carrying a gun isn't really in his character, even though he's a libertarian R.
I've been at credit union events which he attended. Never once did guns come up, either in prepared remarks or just chatting.
I disagree with him greatly on economic & business policies, but what he isn't is a RWNJ. Right wing, yes. But job, no.
A nutjob would have a tough time winning this district. His dominating wins in primaries reinforces that view.
I think he had more than just a hunch, but doesn't want naming names in public to distract from the actual investigation. He's pretty cagey, so he wouldn't go farther than hinting right now.

4. What did he see on Twitter

That anyone else can see ?
Is it on record somewhere?

6. Hopefully he shares what he knows with the authorities.
