Top comment is "how did they know", and it's not Boebert.

The US capitol police:

  • would have exactly what windows xyz and everything else physical plant, and congress also has USCP records though some would only be available to cmte's and some only under clearance.

  • USCP voted >90% "no confidence in leadership" in the weeks following,

  • a laundry list of "oopsies" from USCP heads 1/4-1/6,

  • It's very unlikely this "known security flaw" was available publicly (prove me wrong), and I cannot think of another (not high security clearance) who has any reason to have the specific info, tho DHS's performance day-of makes me speculate.

So, and #epikfail hits close to bone and is just the start, by far more likely is white house straight to gravy seals via a handful of koonts in spraytans immediate circles, meaning some koont in USCP or DHS probably leaked a classified doc, and there aren't too many names to guess at in either. Next most likely is a gop congresscritter on a security cmte.

I'm not yet sold on anything beyond dumb zombie luck yet, but I'm completely open to the idea that individuals had foreknowledge of weak points. Whether this was gleaned from reconnaissance and public information or sympathetic insiders had yet to be determined.

They being said, there there was a horde of people in there. Even if it was only the 600ish I heard early on, that's a bunch of eyes and hands to jiggle knobs, kick at doors and generally just wander around.
