Regarding Bullhorn lady and the others in the room

Yes, she was giving them instructions on the floor plan but she and all of them still looked like total amateurs. If they were paid and instructed, it seems like whomever was paying them was just looking for some dumb grunts. Someone highly capable who knew the floor plan would have been one of the first in the door or a window and made it right to the rooms they needed to get to. They would not have needed supervillain Bullhorn lady. They also would have been smart and experienced enough to keep their faces completely covered. We heard some of these right-wing groups were paid. Again, if this group was part of those who got paid then the politician who paid them is an idiot.

She said something to the effect of: "If you want to take this building go to some room below....bla, bla, bla".

What does she mean by "...take this building"? It is interesting that she wants them to go to some specific room but to take the building?? I don't get it. Did she know the people in that room (one who was dumb enough to film everything and they let the person film) or did she just know about the room below it and smashed in that particular window not knowing who was in there to tell them to go to that special room?

Not much of what was going on there made much sense to me. I don't doubt there could have been some very capable special ops that went in but they weren't part of that. LOL Anyone here have any better understanding of what you think was going on with Bullhorn lady?

Editing to say that the person with the dark hood and covered face taking the hard drive could have been someone who knew what they were doing but I doubt that person had any affiliation with most of the idiots in the room.

There were better-prepared people in the insurrection, but she was just a bossy doofus trying to direct clueless doofuses.

... around as I installed equipment to help him.

All she did was constantly distract me with bossy NONSENSE as I read the instructions and did all of the work, which would've surely been faster without her squawking like she was our salvation.

I could share some of her "ideas" whenever I encountered various problems along the way, but most people would probably assume that I was making it up! Plus it's pretty unpleasant to even recall it. Lol.

Edit: Me and my brother kept biting our tongues because she was indeed helpful to him in some ways, like a quick drive somewhere.

I have a sister-in-law, Trump cultist like this. She thinks she is all knowing but falls for every stupid scam from Amway, Wolfberries, Juice +, Essential Oils etc. etc. etc. Always trying to get me in on one of her money losing scams. Always arguing with me about Trump and religion and pretty much everything. I had to block her and my brother on Facebook and told them I no longer use it. I cringe when I have to see her or she calls for my birthday. LOL I don't hate her, but being around her is pure torture.

So I know where you are coming from.

I couldn't hold back with her anymore, as I was in the process of packing and moving his belongings. She just walked inside his apartment (not knocking) to give me orders. (My brother wasn't there.)

I respected her space and didn't act violent at all, but I finally told her that she was a moron and she needed to acknowledge it as she closed her mouth and opened her ears more often.

Then she yelled back that she was going to call the police on me for yelling at her, and even lie to make sure that I was sent to prison! That didn't happen, thankfully. I doubt that the police would've even believed her, but you never know!

She was like a female version of Trump in many ways. And she indeed supported Trump. Surprise, surprise!

So glad that I never have to deal with her anymore.

She knows exactly what she is talking about. She knows the building. Don’t sell her short, find her, roll her and follow her up the chain. She is an insider

If I am not mistaken, an earlier video had shown
her and a male accomplice breaking in the window with
a section of pipe as a battering ram, which she would later be directing others with her bull horn.
It did seem that was known position of entry that
she was familiar with to start her minions point of
further entry into the Capitol complex.

Maybe she just wanted everyone in there to get the hell out so she could come in a take something they needed in that room?

But who the fuck knows? Doubtful, just something that crossed my mind.

I doubt it, despite the resemblance to her mother. They don't talk very similarly.

But I can continue to hope it's true, resulting in convictions, until proven otherwise. Lol!

So she confirmed that her mother was there on the 6th!

She's claiming that she was with her staff in a secure location. I bet surveillance videos could help confirm or contradict it!

said the only one of her family members that was there on the 6th was her mother and it sounds like she is trying to cover for her mom.

My earlier post: https://democraticunderground.com/100214926069

Boebert talks about her mother being there in the letter posted here: https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=14929401

This is the interview Boebert is referring to and he never even comes close to mentioning her name: https://crooksandliars.com/2021/01/rep-maloney-wants-representative-who-gave
