New: “National security equities” may have been among the records stolen from the Capitol on Wednesday when pro-Trump insurgents looted several congressional offices—but it’s still unclear what exactly was taken, per DOJ. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/07/capitol-hill-riots-doj-456178
Meanwhile, a current Metro D.C. police officer on the scene yesterday said in a public Facebook post that off-duty police officers and members of the military, who were among the rioters, flashed their badges and I.D. cards as they attempted to overrun the Capitol.
More from that officer: “The fact that police officers from other agencies have aligned themselves with such terorristic groups shows how scary it is to be BLACK in America...They weren’t trying to hide who they are because they know nothing will happen to them.”
