U.S. Attorney Investigating Capitol 'Reconnaissance Tours' Ahead Of Pro-Trump Riot | Rachel Maddow

[hazelem]

That’s why the woman with the pink wool cap and bullhorn knew the layout of the building.

[kirk]

We had a war on terror. If they want to take this seriously, declaring war on domestic terrorism would be a start.

[rustybucket]

It would be nice for the truth to come out and all involved prosecuted and removed from office. Publicly recognized as traitor's to our country.

[Thundersnowy]

And the guy who RADICALIZED them, and INCITED them to INSURRECTION is being given aid and comfort from several American TRAITORS in the Republican party.
And he's being given a platform to influence them further by the same.
Can we get some indictments please?

[michaelclark]

30 million in damage to the Capitol.This should come out of Trumps pocket .
.

[judithlowery]

Also everytime trump is not held accountable for his bad deeds he does something worse, , , ,

[billyboy]

Better yet....WHO RIPPED OUT THE PANIC BUTTONS....curious minds want to know!

[studiosandi]

I still want to know who removed the congress people's Panic buttons from their private Chambers.

[bizzmoneyb]

we know there are video cameras throughout the Capitol building.. it shouldn’t be too hard to look and see who brought people in...

[LardGreystoke]

Ted Cruz is already organizing another charter to Cancun. This one will be packed.

[jeffpetrie]

I am ready for some progress on this issue. It has been a while now since January 6.

[ericruijten]

So it's not even Iran....where you easily take out key figures even if they don't do you any harm. Isn't it time that you start holding people severely to account domestically?

[karascene]

Honestly never thought I'd see these days. Foreign threats, sure. But not this.

[peterblaser]

it's easy to find out cruz, hawley and alle the other cowardly republicans don't show up for work, then something must be going on ;D

[electricgigolo]

Hopefully they're looking at emails, phone records, getting accounts from people who were on those tours, and combing the CCTV footage of the tours.

[DavidJohnson-dpvv]

There's video it's documented so we will know if they were reconnaisaance tours or not.

[bruce]

If any member was giving tours and that and a person is identified being at the insurection with the congress member they must be tried in court and locked up period!

[richietattersall]

There is NFW it wasn't planned in advance, how many people carry the tools, hardware and materials required to build a platform to hang people from in their pocket???

[raymondf]

I hope that Attorney General get each person involved l hope they get charged with insurrection and be outted and taken out of congress

[KitaBelle]

Graham, Rand and Johnson should be watched. Their remarks and behaviours are markedly more disturbing than ever.
