Did anyone interview Republican members of Congress and/or their staff after the attack?

On "60 Minutes" shortly after the attack, we heard about Pelosi's staff barricading the doors of their office, hiding under the tables.

Were Republicans afraid, too? Did they think that the rioters would know where the R offices were and would skip them?

They went back to default positions, especially when it was obvious that there was no way to "both sides" the failed insurrection, and that whole "rule of law" notion could be taken too far, particularly as regards their own domestic terrorist constituents.
