Surely the investigators and Nancy know the Congress critter(s) involved by now. Must be keeping what they know quiet while theyre looking up the food chain. When this sucker blows itll be fucking huge!

She was also in DC during the insurrection and went on "detailed tours" of the Capitol:
Prior to the Jan. 6 riot, using the Twitter name Shawna Roberts-Bentz, she retweeted White House political advisor Dan Scavino: See you soon PATRIOTS.
Days after the Capitol riots she posted and later deleted a link to a violent, dystopian YouTube video portraying the countrys military might under Trump, from rifles to nuclear bombs, and asserting that the military would stand with the president to keep him in office.
Just when yall thought My President was hiding out He will not give up on us! In The End We Win!! Bentz wrote after first commenting about the post: If That Aint America I Will Kiss Your Ass!!!

(11,145 posts)Mary Scanlon and Mikie Sherrill, in their tv interviews, said either they didnt know or declined to answer. Mikie didnt name anyone but her reasoning seemed a little like she knew but didnt want to say. I was like huh?.
Sorry if this is confusing but I was confused myself after watching.

Giving a criminal a heads up allows them more time to work on their alibis, skip the country, etc,etc

(11,145 posts)The letter demanding an investigation might shed some light. Its in a story on line but cant find it now.

(47,131 posts)So they know who the guilty members are, and know there was more than one tour and one member.

(11,145 posts)Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) said he's aware of "a couple" names of colleagues who are being eyed as potentially giving tours to the would-be insurrectionists. But he said he wouldn't name them yet.
"I'm going to wait to make sure we get verification," Ryan told a reporter at the Capitol Wednesday.
Ryan said the information was passed to authorities as early as last Wednesday night. He said it involved "handfuls" of people who were escorted through the Capitol. Enough to know that these weren't "one-on-one" tours or "a small family."

(1,654 posts)Until after the Rotten Pardoner is gone from the scene. Just in case. No one knows who he is going to pardon and the speculation is it will be rich folks from now on, but he might throw in some of his base, too, just to make it look like he cares.

(65,076 posts)Letting her stew, possibly reaching out to compatriots while under constant surveillance is right from the FBI playbook.
And as others mentioned, all they have to do is wait until Thursday to arrest her.
She can't be pardoned without even being identified. On Thursday, that pardon concern is gone.
