Do you suppose there were any agents of foreign governments in the mob? What an excellent way to grab a pile of U.S. Congresspersons’ laptops and documents. Just don jeans and a camo t-shirt and blend in.quote:Originally posted by Nina:
I think we're going to find out a lot more in the coming weeks. I've read claims that people did more than just deface or grab "souvenirs," like the House Speaker lectern. People stole letters, government documents, even laptops from what I understand (though I don't know if all of this has been verified).
Breaking in and stealing government documents and laptops? That's pretty serious (and stupid).
