Two of them are in Congress. One of those is armed. One of them communicated the location of the Speaker of the House to the terrorists during the insurrection.

Why does it seem like the FBI always has great intel on last month’s threat?

There have been reports in the news of planned local attacks on 1/17 for a few days. I would imagine they’re trying to keep close track.
One major concern is who is keeping track of law enforcement members of QAnon, Proud Boys, and similar terrorist groups.

“The widely-distributed bulletin had also warned law enforcement that the Capitol attack last week would be a “significant driver of violence” for armed militia groups and racist extremists who are targeting President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 21.”

Did you see what the FBI has done here? They let the cat out of the bag that the inauguration has been moved to the 21st.

I just caught the tail end of Morning Joe, and Katy Kay was saying that the staff of a new congressperson from VA participated in the insurrection.

That would very likely be staff of Bob Good. He’s the only new congressman from Virginia that would fit.

Send them to the slammer.

If true nothing should be done about it. Runs the risk of further inflaming the Right, and interfering and distracting from Biden’s agenda in the first 100 days.
