Definitely worth the time. Included in the report are floor plans of the Capitol Building to show all the places where the insurrections broke in.

This video is 40 minutes & should be shown on all news networks, prime time.

NYT is usually behind a paywall, but this report is not.

On edit: At 9 minutes there's a map of the outside of the Capitol Building & where the rioters were. This video report is tragically excellent.

How they can’t be aware of that is beyond me. I don’t watch Fox, but perhaps one of the dozen here who do watch that idiocy can let us know if they covered that fact.

used hand held military comms to stay in touch with their leadership and megaphones to herd the sheep. In the days leading up to the insurrection, Rwing forums were encouraging the use of an app called Telegram (founded by a Russian) [link:https://justaskthales.com/en/telegram-different-messaging-apps/| Also - HAM radio traffic has increased to the point the FCC issued a warning on 1-21 and again on 4-20 of this year.

"Investigators want to know “whether lawmakers wittingly or unwittingly helped the insurrectionists,” a US official briefed on the matter told CNN, and so far they have gathered data that includes “indications of contact” between “alleged rioters discussing their associations with members of Congress.” More than two dozen prosecutors are assigned to help the effort." https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/federal-investigation-insurrectionists-lawmakers-1137171/
