I have no desire to tip anyone off, and if I did as the result of knowledge of criminal acts it would be to the appropriate agency of law enforcement.
I'm making no specific allegations. It is hard to imagine any member of Congress risking a trip from renown to the infamy of prison. People did have armor, and people literally burglarized the Capitol.
The best security isn't an armed camp; it is instead that nobody would even imagine doing anything of the sort. I figure that Capitol police were not prepared for armed people and paramilitary tactics. One crazy person? Sure.
I apologize if you thought I was making an accusation towards you. My comments were strictly aimed at the congresswoman who posted on FB implying unnamed Republican colleagues helped facilitate the attack without providing proof. I can't see a reason for doing something like that where the answer isn't 'she's stupid AF and irresponsible' or 'she's cynically trying to foment distrust to further political advantage.' The story itself does not seem to be making the rounds to the point where people on the right are screaming about it, so I think some wiser heads have prevailed and are burying it.
But, rest assured, I am not accusing you of anything. I was responding to the events you posted about, not to anything you've done or said.
