I was thinking about that American flag with the swastica.

18. I don't think it's an infrared thing, but there's something odd

My guess is something like a staffer or intern was being a troll or is a nazi. As you said, there's little reason to think an elected official would hang up that flag for so little gain and so much risk. But without there being something that really hides the swastika from the human eye, someone put that flag up intentionally.

But then again, people are sometimes very very stupid, so I can't entirely discount it being the representative. But it makes more logical sense that it was someone lower putting it in their cubicle or office where it could go unnoticed.
