Capitol police on Tuesday responded to a Republican lawmaker's puzzling tweets about an intelligence investigation in his office.

Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) tweeted out some perplexing allegations against the department, whose officers he said secretly entered his office and took photos of “confidential legislative products" and then returned disguised as construction workers two days later, when most lawmakers and their staffers were away for Thanksgiving recess, but found one staffer inside.

"They had no authority to photograph my office, let alone investigate myself or members of my staff," Nehls tweeted. "So, why is the Capitol Police Leadership maliciously investigating me in an attempt to destroy me and my character?"

This from a "guy" that signed his name to a letter saying the election should be thrown out and from a "guy" that knows the same police officers where getting the shit beaten out them while he was in safe place being protected by the same force.... he really can go and pound sand....
