(She turned herself in)
SNIP
Powell was scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate Friday afternoon. She faces multiple charges, including violent entry or disorderly conduct, obstruction and depredation of government property.
She's become known as "the bullhorn lady" who seemed to have knowledge of the Capitol building's floor plan. She was seen on video instructing insurrectionists on where to go.
Powell is of special concern to federal investigators because if she had that knowledge, it could indicate the assault was pre-planned.

OP
You'd think a mother of 8 wouldn't have time to plan and take action to overthrow the US government.

Perhaps embossing license plates? Working in the prison kitchen or laundry room...

She is a key insider; she knows a lot about the plot and who was leading it.

The magistrate had damned well better keep her in custody. She is a key witness and a danger.

Clearly, it was preplanned. What more do people need to see? It was all out in the open.
