Good morning from the U.S. Capitol, where attorneys for Jan. 6 defendants just finished their two-hour tour:
The tour, guided by a Capitol Police officer, takes Jan. 6 lawyers to a number of key locations at the Capitol, including the Speaker’s Lobby, the hallways of the Speaker’s Office, the rotunda, the Senate gallery, etc.
Note the House-side windows here: still boarded up.

I spoke with Al Watkins, the attorney for the “QAnon Shaman” and a few other Jan. 6 defendants. He’s planning to visit his client in jail tomorrow while he’s in the D.C. area.
He ranked the value of the Capitol tour at 1/10, but said he got some great pictures.

Among the Capitol Police officers on duty this Memorial Day: Officer Harry Dunn, who endured racist slurs from the white supremacists in the mob on Jan. 6. nytimes.com/2021/02/25/us/…
A beautiful, quiet day at the Capitol.
The statue of pro-slavery South Carolina politician John Calhoun in the Capitol Crypt wasn’t popular with Jan. 6 lawyers (like it was with some Jan. 6 defendants). More of a Lincoln crowd.
(At least four Capitol defendants posed with the statue of Calhoun, who called slavery a “positive good.”)
