@RepSherrill
Today I joined with more than 30 of my colleagues in requesting an investigation from the Acting House SAA, Acting Senate SAA, and USCP into the suspicious behavior and access given to visitors to the Capitol Complex on Jan. 5, 2021 - the day before the attacks on the Capitol.

Many of the Members who signed this letter, including those of us who have served in the military and are trained to recognize suspicious activity, as well as various members of our staff, witnessed an extremely high number of outside groups in the complex on Tuesday, January 5.
This is unusual for several reasons, including the fact that access to the Capitol Complex has been restricted since public tours ended in March due to the pandemic. We found these tours so concerning that senior staff questioned the SAA on January 5 about what was taking place.

And did this have a connection to Ayanna Pressley's panic buttons removed from her office?

The FBI will figure this out, and the insiders will be arrested, tried and convicted.

This is becoming more and more of a planned action to overthrow the government each day.

Don't know, this is speculation on my part based on what appears to have happened.

I'm willing to bet this whole thing was created by Hair Furor and friends.

I'm beginning to think these people would bring a bomb or hide a weapon for someone.
