Not surprised. Some of those traitors are right... I bet a ton of capitol pigs were in on the insurrection, letting them in, telling them where to go, etc. Lots of suspicious behavior from their leadership and ranks both.

If so, Who?

We the People need to know. They — the fascists — are playing a part in treason.
