Federal agents have arrested two more rioters whose images went viral during the attack on the US Capitol, of one carrying off the House speaker’s lectern and another who wore horns and a fur pelt.
Once inside, cops were seen standing to the side and basically ushering in the rioters.
Sources told TMZ the FBI is currently reviewing and examining all of the videos that are being posted online to help prove some Capitol police and staffers were in on the violent attack
Another reason the FBI thinks the attack was an inside job is how easy it was for the #MAGA mob to find their way to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office. Now, they re investigating everyone.
The site reports:
It s not off any main hallway or next to other Congressional offices . in fact, the path to get to the entrance is maze-like and not open to the public like other parts of the Capitol. The rioters who took it over vandalizing it and stealing a laptop got there within 10 minutes of entering the Capitol.
The man who carried Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern from the House of Representatives during the riot at the Capitol last week is out on $25,000 bond following an appearance Monday in federal court in Tampa.
