The noose is in possession of FBI Washington Field Office [Jan 6th MAGA rioters made a gallows]

Trump supporters built a makeshift gallows on the west side of the Capitol during the riot and chanted for Pence to be hanged for refusing to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election results.

I knew I was watching a coup orchestrated by the Slobfather and posted just that.
I will never forget that.
