Dem Rep Makes Startling But Unproven Claim About GOP Aid For Siege Plotters

Maybe my snark meter hasn’t kicked in yet due to lack of coffee. But that last sentence, in the scope of the article and events, appears inane.

Got a source on that?

Only then?

Not on the Capitol grounds. Not when you are up there inciting people. Not if you know your cohorts are intending violence.

We will see if we can prove which people knew what in advance.

Wanna bet there are unaccounted for blank areas on the tapes. Cameras can “fail”, you know.

No, it was just the general office numbers. Damn. It was posted on one of the other threads last night

ETA I notice a couple of others also posted already.

Here’s the rub: more than a few Representatives and Senators questoned how the rioters, at least the first wave, knew where to go? Some of these officials did not use the nameplated offices, for a host of reasons, but instead used unmarked and often remote offices to conduct their business. Now, in the rabbit-warren of the Capitol building, just exactly how did the rioters quickly gain access to these mainly, if not solely, Democratic-held offices?

Now I know how they tried to hunt down these legislators, zip-ties in hand.

NEW FOOTAGE: a long, disciplined line of men in body armor moves as a unit up the #CapitolBuilding steps.

We need to identify this group.

Grateful to @lehudgins for the find.

Day after day, this gets worse and worse. Things in congress are not going to look anything like normal in the near future. How could you sit in a room with others that you thought may have had a hand in trying to get rid of you.
This is not a place I recognize.

But why would Republican congressmen give tours of the capitol to Antifa?

I saw it several days ago. They weren’t the party goers they were the ones there to do the destruction in an orderly manner.

Why were tours even allowed the day before? Insanity.

Parler was comprehensively data-scraped by a hacker the night it shut down, and I expect some very interesting stuff is now in the hands of the Feds.

Protesting the cops by beating them to death is not legal.

It was the guy with the Molotov cocktails.

Parler might well have been coded by the Trump (dis)Organization. The didn’t hash the file IDs. They made it trivially easy to harvest the entire history of Parler. I mean, really: no end-to-end encryption, no file security?

My son (jokingly) said, “Parler may be the most successful FBI sting in history.” When I heard that the DoJ already had everything on Parler, my initial thought was, “Wow. He may be right.” Then when I learned about Parler’s file insecurity system, it was back to, “Nope. Just idiots at work, again. Thanks for making it easy, guys.”
