By now, anyone following the still unfolding story about the Capitol riot knows about the complaint Rep Mikie Sherrill filed with the Capitol Police the day before. A complaint asking why there were all these tours being given in a building closed to tours since March because of C-19. Tours that might have been used to guide rioters in how to navigate the Capitol maze.
Sometimes a lack of response is telling. One would think that, had there been an innocent explanation for these tours, we would have heard it by now. A representative, or staff person, would have raised its hand and said something like:
Oh, that was us. This was a long planned tour with students from nearby universities to study the Capitol’s architecture, we got special dispensation to conduct the tour, and here’s a list of their names.
Instead, crickets.
If people inside the Capitol are guilty of helping the rioters, it’s likely that sleep is at a premium. A knock on the door could mean an arrest warrant for aiding and abetting sedition and quite possibly capital murder.

Watching MSNBC at the moment. Eric Swalwell is showing a deleted tweet from Pete Sessions that says (I’m reading from screen):
Had a great meeting today with folks from “Stop the Steal” at our nation’s Capitol. I encouraged them to keep fighting, etc.
A note under the tweet says the tweet was deleted after 4 days on 7 Jan. That would lead one to assume the tweet was sent on 3 Jan.
