There may be more to the story than I originally thought, given that two of the Congresscritters named have made some interesting statements. First, Mo Brooks throws his staff under the bus: > Boebert effectively lawyered up, throws in the phrase “anywhere in Washington DC” because, well, any future questions regarding her participating insurrectionist activity at places other than the Capitol _has already been addressed_ by her statement saying she didn’t perform Insurrectionist activity at places other than the Capitol. Which was nothing anyone accused her of… 🤔 > ---

“And as for what they might have plotted at their hotel just outside of city limits, well…” > [@Gyrate](#): > > So they had committed _other_ federal felonies? Ford’s pardon of Nixon was phrased to cover any Federal crimes he might have committed during his entire _Presidency_. A Trump pardon of anybody taking part in eeeeeeevil shenanigans on Jan. 6 could have also been very broadly worded. ---

Note how she said “on January 6th”. She carefully omitted January 1st through the 5th. Could she have led a group of MAGATs on a tour of he Capitol area before the 6th? ---

Yup. Just reads like something crafted by a lawyer, or a legalese-minded PR firm. ---

But its his experiences with pedophiles that makes him uniquely qualified to point them out. He is only doing these things because he loves children. He is a boner-fide an expert in his field. 👀 Damn I could do this all day. Who thought comedians would be lacking for material once Trump left office. ---
