Do you believe we will learn that some Congressional Rs were directly involved in the insurrection?

Yes, speculation. But I wouldn’t be surprised if names get named.

They may not have fully realized how bad it would get. They're that stupid.

I don't suspect any of them envisioned what happened. I think the expectation was that a small group of people (20 or 30) would somehow breach security and disrupt proceedings at the doors or in the gallery. Because, as you say, they're that stupid.

But I am not optimistic we'll actually get the goods on them. Probably the video of them giving tours to the terrorists has already been wiped clean.

Dog done did it.

The ones making this about a power Nancy Pelosi did not have (securing the capitol), who in the same breath say these were 'tourists', and who call the domestic terrorists 'political prisoners', and who are crying about this being a witch hunt to lock up GOP House and Senate members -

They are the dogs done did it. They are welping the loudest.

They expected to stop the certification of the election, and see Trump declared the winner. So, they never expected to have their complicity exposed.
My prediction: Dozens of Republican Senators and Representatives will be shown to have had a part in the insurrection. I expect some will actually be indicted.
Of course Senator Graham has that phone call problem that's most likely going to get him indicted.

...hand out masks to Repubs on the House floor. As she walked away, one of the Repubs said something and they all laughed. I can't help but wonder if the thugs were going to choose their victims based on who was wearing a mask and who wasn't.

It's just one of those little things you notice and makes you say, "Hmm..."

Whether or not they will be indited and convicted, however, is iffy at this point in time.

His ceremonial office, which is marked, is on the main floor and was untouched.
