Who was the insider that fed info to the terrorists?

[FoxNewsSucks]

I heard it mentioned again on TV this morning. There was someone sending messages to the Oathkeeper fucks, giving exact locations of Senators, Reps, giving the call to "seal them in" and "turn on the gas". Someone told the terrorists the locations of unmarked offices.

Why hasn't that asshole(s) been identified and charged?

Did I miss that?

1. I'm hopeful that solid prosecutorial work pans out.

There are already plenty of indicted people pointing fingers.

[lagomorph777]

5. Whoever did that was assuming the bad guys would win, and they'd get away with it.

Unfortunately for them, the Capitol is one of the most surveilled places on Earth. Also, phone, email, and text records are forever.

Oops.

[Harker]

14. "Oops" is right.

It'll be pretty easy to convict the huge numbers of morans that were lurching around in the Capitol making evidentiary videos to post online.

The funders and inside actors will be more difficult to identify.

I suppose we could all name a few that we'd like to see under some harsh, penetrating light.

[lagomorph777]

15. I think it will be technically easy to nail them.

Politically, not so much.

[Harker]

20. I expect you're right.

Their handlers and the rubes who vote them in are liking what they're getting.

2. Wow, I hadn't heard this... yikes...

But I hope folks don't forget that Marjorie Taylor Greene (or vice versa) was filming every square foot of corridor when she was walking in the tunnels...... This had never been done before...

[FoxNewsSucks]

4. She wasn't the only one giving guided tours

to the terrorist before the attack.

[essaynnc]

3. The other thing that I missed.....

There is security camera footage !!!!

that means that we can know who was giving "tours" of the closed capitol to shady characters the day or two before the insurrection. I've thought that they would be available all along, but never heard anything about them.

Who were the congress critters that allowed the insurrectionists to case the joint??? they are need to be dealt with

[lagomorph777]

6. We saw samples from Capitol security cameras yesterday. Extremely clear imagery.

The Q tour guides are in very serious trouble.

[napi21]

7. We may not have seen the security tapes, butyou can be sure the FBI has. That's th kind of info

that investigators keep quiet untill they're ready too drop the happer on the perps. I'pm sure there's more to come.

[lindysalsagal]

12. Well said. I'll bet the fbi already knows, but we'll be the last to know.

13. In terms of the "Reconnaissance Tours", Boebert's name has come up

GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert gave Capitol tour to ‘large’ group before the riots, Democratic lawmaker says

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01/19/lauren-boebert-tour-capitol-riots/

Amid a push to investigate whether any GOP lawmakers aided rioters at the Capitol, several Democrats last week accused an unnamed House Republican of leading groups on “reconnaissance” tours of the building before the Jan. 6 attack.

Now, two Democratic lawmakers say they personally saw one Republican — Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado — with a “large” group in a tunnel connected to the Capitol days before the attempted insurrection that left four rioters and one police officer dead.

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) said on Monday that he and Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) had both seen Boebert in the tunnel outside the Cannon House Office Building with a group sometime in the three days before the riots. He said he didn’t know who was in the group or if anyone with Boebert later participated in the attack.

There may be others; I haven't seen anyone else named yet. I don't doubt for a second that the FBI is on this.

8. I'm Not Holding My Breath That ANY Of Them Will Be Held To Account

It's a great big club, and they apparently can't criticize, call out, or turn on one another.

I'm not sure we'll ever find out the truth.

[CentralMass]

10. +1

[FoxNewsSucks]

17. Sadly, you're probably right.

19. It Ties In With My Belief That This Country Is Pretty Well Fucked Going Forward

I'm not optimistic about the future for America. I thought it would get better with Joe Biden at the helm, but now I think it might actually get worse.

My parents are still alive, but in their 80's. If they pass in the next several years, I might seriously consider moving overseas. It won't be easy, I do love it here, and this is where my friends and family are, but I don't want to be part of a shithole country, if I can help it.

9. Rioters in the crowd were giving real time updated

You can actually see this in some of yesterday’s footage. Thankfully the USCP were creating secure hallways for people to move through but Trumps Goon Squad was updating the rioters through text, verbal, visual and apps. Even when they were able to get there, the USCP was able to hold the line to ensure the Members Safety

[lindysalsagal]

11. It remains to be seen exactly who was the frump team member who was the point person

for the mob. My best guess is Jr., but of course I have no idea. You need someone dumb enough to think he's not committing treason, and also who doesn't understand fbi tracking capability. So, it's most likely someone who's never held public office or a law enforcement job, but was allowed personal contact with potus during the siege, and could take immediate action.

If not Jr, maybe Rudy? I guess it could have been another thug not at the rally, but, most of rump's hangers-on know enough about the real world of police work to avoid such a fatal mistake. One assumes....

[Mike 03]

16. Stone, Flynn and Bannon seem like more likely candidates IMO.

Longtime Trump advisers connected to groups behind rally that led to Capitol attack

Roger Stone, Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn all promoted the Jan. 6 rally.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/longtime-trump-advisers-connected-groups-rally-led-capitol/story?id=75261028

Personally, I can't imagine Trump putting Don Jr. in charge of anything large or small. Rudy? Maybe.

Alex Jones, Ali Alexander, Gosar, Biggs, Moe Brooks and some other shady figures are also floating around in this mix.

[lindysalsagal]

18. Right. I speak from no authority, but I wonder if stone, bannon and flynn know too much to be the pa

patsy, here. What's in it for them? Why take the risk? They know they'll get caught inciting a riot.

Jr. was clearly enjoying yapping at the crowd. He'd do it just for daddy's approval and to feed his pathetic ego.

[Mike 03]

21. You're right IMO that Don Jr. definitely incited this and loved every minute of it.

There are some other aspects that to my thinking (and I don't know anything except what I've read) point to someone a little more sophisticated. Like those three Bitcoin transfers from a foreign country to leaders of the insurrection. If that was true (and I haven't seen anything new about it since it first broke), it raises a lot of questions.

To be honest, when I read that I thought of Manafort, but he probably wouldn't risk getting involved.

You are making me think though, that it would be very risky for those three to get into something like this. Roger Stone seems to have no fear and no scruples (and not much brains)--maybe he would get involved.

You are right they would really be playing with fire. Maybe those three weren't involved beyond the planning phase.
