Boebert and Greene likely gave tours to those terrorists. Knowing which windows were “weak” is tactical knowledge of recent building improvements, and those two are too dumb to have gotten that data.

This is how I feel about those 2 idiots. I'm sure they gave tours to Insurrectionists but they're both too stupid to know anything about the state of any windows in that building.

They both probably wonder why they can't open them.

I also feel like anyone that broke those windows &/or went through them should have to help pay for the restoration of them because it's not going to be cheap or easy to do.

Maybe they can make them work all those minimum wage jobs no one wants any more because they live on that shit. Make them work at McDonalds or Walmart until their portion is paid.

I'd also add that they kind of come off as the "why would I keep track of what the peons have been doing?" type.

I always thought fear of being found out to have distributed information like that was the most likely motive for the officers who committed suicide after the insurrection, or was murdered and made to look like suicide. I am not saying that is true, I have seen no evidence of this, it just strikes me as a far more likely reason than battlefield trauma or being upset by the public's response.

Note however that many capitol police officers were suspended, dozens of others were/are being investigated, and a few leaders were fired/resigned.

Yeah, exactly. Was there ever any explanation given for those? I don't recall any satisfying details.

Yes, I've also thought that was a possibility.

I don't know if they actively helped the insurrection, but the Sgts at Arms certainly didn't secure much that day.
