Wouldn't the presence of security cameras be common knowledge?

How could Rep. Loudermilk, other tour givers, and people taking video and photos of staircases, hallways, and tunnels not realize they are on video?

They must be extremely arrogant or extremely stupid. Or both. It seems pretty basic.

3. They thought Trump would be installed as president and they would all get pardoned. I'm sure of it

That is the only thing that explains their casual attitude toward breaking the law in plain sight

did the Capitol police collude? Why did the head of the Capitol police claim he saw no suspicious behavior?

needs to be brought before the J6 committee for questioning. Sounds like collusion with Loudermilk to me.

And the arrogance of Loudermilk to file ETHICS CHARGES against the Dems who claimed they saw him leading a group, when Loudermilk KNEW he had led such tours. That guy does not deserve to be in the Congress.

14. I think simply covering his ass. He replaced the guy who was on duty at the time

He’s protecting his police because they did suspicious behavior and do nothing about it. I think the insurrectionist thought all of the police would be on their side, very few actually were. I think they were counting on the military to be with them

They believed the coup would be successful, and they'd be lauded as heroes once Trump was re-installed in the WH.

Congresswoman Mikie Sherril reported seeing tours on 1/6 2021 and reported it immediately. The select committee later asked the Capitol police to investigate Sherril's claim. It is now 1 1/2 years since Sherril saw more than one tour. Someone needs to investigate the Capitol police. As people are saying here, there has to be plenty of video in those buildings.

Subpoena the head of the Capitol police, he needs to explain a few things.

I am not even considering the DOJ/FBI investigate, that would make it appear partisan.

Mikie Sherril said tonight on Rachel that she saw more than 1 tour, where is the video of the other tour/tours?

11. The complicity within the Capital police is definitely part of the story.

The response to this, including the letter 3 days ago claiming there was nothing to see here, needs to be investigated. There are moles and traitors there.

and on just about every person everywhere too...on our cell phones.

Guess some are like so many cops who sometimes still forget there are cameras everywhere when they shoot and kill innocent people.
