There may be more to the story than I originally thought, given that two of the Congresscritters named have made some interesting statements.

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…
