A man who took part in a tour of the U.S. Capitol complex on Jan. 5, 2021, with Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) was reportedly captured on video hurling threats at lawmakers during the insurrectionist riot the next day.

The man, who has not been identified publicly, was outside the Capitol as the attempted insurrection was underway, and he does not appear to have been charged in connection with the events of that day, according to Punchbowl News, which broke the news of the Jan. 6 committee having video of both the man being given a tour, and his alleged threats.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is said to have been among those at the receiving end of his alleged threats. Members of the House select committee investigating the circumstances of the deadly Jan. 6 riot have reportedly been discussing what to do with the footage.

Releasing the footage to the public is said to be among the options under consideration.

In a January 2021 letter to the U.S. Capitol Police, more than two dozen Democratic lawmakers asked for an “immediate investigation” into “an extremely high number of outside groups” visiting the Capitol complex the day before the riot.

“Members of the group that attacked the Capitol seemed to have an unusually detailed knowledge of the layout of the Capitol Complex,” the letter noted.

1. Important

Get thee to the greatest page

[Hulk]

26. You would think they would have NAMES (dates, etc.) of individuals touring the Capitol????

Seems a simple task to cross check if any were arrested inside the Capitol Building on January 6th.

[malaise]

29. They may

We will see

[stopdiggin]

34. arrested inside the Capital building?

I was unaware of this. I thought almost all arrests were performed after that date.

(And it's still not clear to me why a list of Jan 5 'tours' have not been made public - we sure as hell have heard plenty about it ... And yet, maddeningly 'coy' about real details.)

[Quakerfriend]

2. Interesting that this news is coming out

1 day after the MSM is reporting that an investigation of the Loudermilk tour showed nothing nefarious.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

7. Want to see who hoisted gallow..when was it built, who hauled building

..materials in--would need a truck, right? Who gave the order to even build such a thing? Who paid for the material?

I'm sure capitol police has footage of how many people it took to build it, their faces on camera, yet nothing has been reported about that one detail that seemed to just appear at the time ..chant to hang Mike Pence started. Anyway.

[jaxexpat]

9. BTW, why did the Capitol police NOT have additional security on stand-by January 6th 2021?

They're, like the Secret Service, corrupt already. There were resignations after Jan 6, investigate the retirement venues of these civil servants. Follow the money. Follow THEIR money. It will reveal the identity of those who chose personal gain over their responsibilities, duty and worthless oaths.
Follow it closely enough and you'll find yourself on the same path taken by principled governance nationwide, into the bottomless pit of corruption, lust for power and greed.

11. Excellent questions.

Too bad the media's shadow narrative for today is Joe Biden's age. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT ALLIGATOR BITING YOUR LEG OFF! WHY ISN'T THERE A FROG SITTING ON THAT LILY PAD???

5. Loudermilk's tour is just the tip of the iceberg

These tours were apparently off the record, not recorded in logs, so the only record would be within the representative’s office or on security camera footage.

If the committee has that, it would definitely “blow the roof off” the house.

[Botany]

13. "Loudermilk's tour" according to Loudermilk was just a family w/kids who were visiting D.C. from ...

... his district and he threatened to file suit against Rep. Mikie Sherrill for saying the following:

[There were] "members of Congress who had groups coming through the Capitol that I saw on January 5th for reconnaissance for the next day," Sherrill said.

https://www.salon.com/2022/05/19/was-a-capitol-tour-given-by-rep-barry-loudermilk-on-jan-5-a-dress-rehearsal-for-the-insurrection/

BTW There were no tours allowed of the Capitol @ that time because of a C-19 lock down.

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. And yet one of those tour member was at the riot the next day

And numerous reps report multiple tours given in the days before 1/6.

[demtenjeep]

27. I didn't see any kids in that footage

did you?


or are 18 and +considered kids for this instance?

[Botany]

28. We are in dagerous times .... 70% of the republican members of the House in Jan., 2021 voted ....

.... to over turn the will of American voters and make Trump a dictator and to that end a certain
% of them gave tours of the US Capitol so with in a day or two they could use violence to stop the
Constitutionally mandated transfer of power to the winner of the Presidential election.

Being a Republican and being a good American is now an antithetical act. It got to be 100 degrees
F here yesterday and we lost electric power so I had on a local radio station for information about the
outage and the local and national talk shows were nothing short of outright sedition.

BTW many years ago in N.W. PA in a middle class neighborhood our next door neighbor was the
county D.A. and his brother, Ray Shafer was the Governor of the state. You would never have met
a better man and he was republican too.

14. Bring in Loudedrmilk and this J6 suspect. Question them together as to

WHO WERE THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THAT TOUR? What was their names? Did they know they would be back there the next day?

[wnylib]

6. Interesting, but I don't think that it is

damning evidence since the video shows him outside of the Capitol building.

It would be damning if it showed him (or any others who took the tour) on the inside, leading people to the right places.

[onecaliberal]

8. I read that he left them on their own at one point. Maybe this is when they went through offices

taking out panic buttons.

Why are we just learning about this now?

[wnylib]

12. Learning about which? The fact that he

left some of them on their own? Or that he gave tours?

The issue of tours was brought up within days of J6. But it took longer to confirm Loudermilk's role.

Or did you mean that the guy in the video was just identified as one of the "tourists" taken on a walk inside the Capitol on J5?

[stopdiggin]

35. you're confusing separate things

the panic button 'story' is fairly convoluted (and seems to have lost a lot of it's legs) - but to my knowledge it has never been conflated with 'civilian' tours.

[twodogsbarking]

10. Hopefully there is a plan for the next attack on the Capitol.

Hello. Anyone listening?

[wnylib]

15. I sure hope that question is not like

"Russia, are you listening?"

Whose "next plan" would that be?

[twodogsbarking]

17. ?

[wnylib]

23. Who do you hope has a plan for the

"next attack on the Capitol"?

And what next attack on the Capitol?

[twodogsbarking]

31. The US government.

[wnylib]

32. Do you think there will be another attack?

[twodogsbarking]

33. I think it is a possibility that should be seriously considered.

[Justice matters.]

18. The plan (as I see it) is to campaign for electing more Democratic members in Congress

for legislation based on the J6 committee recommendations to prevent another insurrection has a chance to pass.

Once that's done, DOJ indictments can come all the way through September 2024.

[twodogsbarking]

20. I was thinking more in line with defending the building from Trumpsters.

[Justice matters.]

24. I think measures to do that will be included in the proposed legislation.

But voters (especially more millenials and gen Z...) must rush to the polls to vote for more Dems in Congress (more Democratic Senators, in particular...) to make sure saving democracy can PASS...

[Novara]

25. AMEN!

[SilasSouleII]

19. MSNBC breaking J6 releases video

Shows group taking photos/video of hallways and corridors. Very unusual.

[lindysalsagal]

22. No, THAT's interesting. It's gonna all come out, now.

30. Will the House expel him? Loudermilk!

Will the House expel him? Loudermilk!
Well, if the House expels him, we'll all volunteer to tell him!
We'lll cheer whoever fells him: Loudermilk!

[czarjak]

36. No collusion though?

[BobTheSubgenius]

37. What a coincidence!
