He's a U.S. intelligence expert, and Sen. Jason Crow said the same thing after talking to some of his Republican colleagues.
But whatever you need to tell yourself.
Now realize how your brain has turned to mush - Twitter.

Feel free to refute the numbers, I can check back later to see how you're doing.
Right U.S. intelligence "expert". Are you really that stupid? Hey, someone who called himself an intelligence expert said it, so it must be true!
Are you really that stupid?
And then Sen. Jason Crow -
- as if Demecrat politicians never lie.Are you really that stupid?
It's not the numbers. It's where you're getting your information from and how you spend your time. You are one of those who literally get their news from Twitter. And you complain about our sources? I didn't read anything from Twitter even when Trump was on. Twitter is a cesspool. It's rotted your brain.

I know it's not the numbers, so since the numbers themselves can't be attacked, you attack the method by which they were transmitted? If it helps you process the history made today, well, I can understand that.
There is no reason why I should waste time looking-up a moron politician.
You're suffering from Twitter brain-rot. I suggest leaving cold-turkey.

Lawmakers who conspired with Capitol attackers in legal peril
If any members of Congress are proven to have colluded with the rioters, their position likely won't save them from criminal liability.
Capitol rioters included highly trained ex-military and cops
WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Donald Trump’s supporters massed outside the Capitol last week and sang the national anthem, a line of men wearing olive-drab helmets and body armor trudged purposefully up the marble stairs in a single-file line, each man holding the jacket collar of the one ahead.
The formation, known as “Ranger File,” is standard operating procedure for a combat team that is “stacking up” to breach a building — instantly recognizable to any U.S. soldier or Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was a chilling sign that many at the vanguard of the mob that stormed the seat of American democracy either had military training or were trained by those who did.

Texas executes 3rd member of Houston gang that raped, murdered 2 girls in 1993
The leader of a former gang of Houston teenagers who raped and murdered two young girls walking home from a neighborhood party 17 years ago was executed Tuesday in Texas.
"The girls were gang raped for more than an hour and forced to perform oral sex. They were kicked, had teeth knocked out and hair pulled out. Their ribs were broken. A red nylon belt was pulled so tightly around Ertman's neck the belt snapped. Shoe laces were used to strangle Pena."
Don't you mean peaceful demonstrators? Or are you a racist bigot?

You're derailing the thread using a common tactic of posting whataboutisms to deflect from the uncomfortable information you either can't refute or can't justify or don't want associated with your tribe. Feel free to start a new thread, I won't be arguing with you about stuff that's unrelated to the insurrection at the Capitol.

Excerpt from a firsthand account of the insurrection from journalist Luke Mogelson:
“You are traitors to the country!” a man barked at the police through a megaphone plastered with stickers from “InfoWars,” the incendiary Web program hosted by the right-wing conspiracist Alex Jones. Behind the man stood Biggs, the Proud Boys leader. He wore a radio clipped onto the breast pocket of his plaid flannel shirt. Not far away, I spotted a “straight pride” flag.
There wasn’t nearly enough law enforcement to fend off the mob, which pelted the officers with cans and bottles. One man angrily invoked the pandemic lockdown: “Why can’t I work? Where’s my ‘pursuit of happiness’?” Many people were equipped with flak jackets, helmets, gas masks, and tactical apparel. Guns were prohibited for the protest, but a man in a cowboy hat, posing for a photograph, lifted his jacket to reveal a revolver tucked into his waistband. Other Trump supporters had Tasers, baseball bats, and truncheons. I saw one man holding a coiled noose.
“Hang Mike Pence!” people yelled.
Soon the mob swarmed past the officers, into the understructure of the bleachers, and scrambled through its metal braces, up the building’s granite steps. Toward the top was a temporary security wall with three doors, one of which was instantly breached. Dozens of police stood behind the wall, using shields, nightsticks, and pepper spray to stop people from crossing the threshold. Other officers took up positions on planks above, firing a steady barrage of nonlethal munitions into the solid mass of bodies. As rounds tinked off metal, and caustic chemicals filled the space as if it were a fumigation tent, some of the insurrectionists panicked: “We need to retreat and assault another point!” But most remained resolute. “Hold the line!” they exhorted. “Storm!” Martial bagpipes blared through portable speakers.
“Shoot the politicians!” somebody yelled.
“Fight for Trump!”
A jet of pepper spray incapacitated me for about twenty minutes. When I regained my vision, the mob was streaming freely through all three doors. I followed an overweight man in a Roman-era costume—sandals, cape, armguards, dagger—away from the bleachers and onto an open terrace on the Capitol’s main level. People clambered through a shattered window. Video later showed that a Proud Boy had smashed it with a riot shield. A dozen police stood in a hallway softly lit by ornate chandeliers, mutely watching the rioters—many of them wearing Trump gear or carrying Trump flags—flood into the building. Their cries resonated through colonnaded rooms: “Where’s the traitors?” “Bring them out!” “Get these [redacted] [redacted] Commies out!”
The attack on the Capitol was a predictable apotheosis of a months-long ferment. Throughout the pandemic, right-wing protesters had been gathering at statehouses, demanding entry. In April, an armed mob had filled the Michigan state capitol, chanting “Treason!” and “Let us in!” In December, conservatives had broken the glass doors of the Oregon state capitol, overrunning officers and spraying them with chemical agents. The occupation of restricted government sanctums was an affirmation of dominance so emotionally satisfying that it was an end in itself—proof to elected officials, to Biden voters, and also to the occupiers themselves that they were still in charge. After one of the Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol, he insisted through a megaphone, “We will not be denied.” There was an unmistakable subtext as the mob, almost entirely white, shouted, “Whose house? Our house!” One man carried a Confederate flag through the building. A Black member of the Capitol Police later told BuzzFeed News that, during the assault, he was called a racial slur fifteen times.
I followed a group that broke off to advance on five policemen guarding a side corridor. “Stand down,” a man in a maga hat commanded. “You’re outnumbered. There’s a [redacted] million of us out there, and we are listening to Trump—your boss.”
“We can take you out,” a man beside him warned.
The America Firsters and other invaders fanned out in search of lawmakers, breaking into offices and revelling in their own astounding impunity. “Nancy, I’m ho-ome! ” a man taunted, mimicking Jack Nicholson’s character in “The Shining.” Someone else yelled, “1776—it’s now or never.” Around this time, Trump tweeted, “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country. . . . USA demands the truth!” Twenty minutes later, Ashli Babbitt, a thirty-five-year-old woman from California, was fatally shot while climbing through a barricaded door that led to the Speaker’s lobby in the House chamber, where representatives were sheltering...
“Where the [redacted] are they?”
“Where the [redacted] is Nancy?”
No one seemed quite sure how to proceed. “While we’re here, we might as well set up a government,” somebody suggested.
Then a man with a large “AF ” [America First] flag—college-age, cheeks spotted with acne—pushed through a series of tall double doors, the last of which gave onto the Senate chamber.
“Praise God!”

You're upset with police and military protesting.
I'm a sane person who gets upset when police do things like this:
Police officer who shot man crawling and crying on the floor cleared of murder
Body cam footage shows the tense moments before the deadly shooting
But hey, you're upset because AOC got her feelings hurt. That's much worse and something we really need to talk about.
Corrected it for you.
Yeah, we saw all your concern and caring about the months of rioting, burning, and looting that went on all summer. You know, all the violence from the left. You were really strident in denouncing it.
