After the Capitol Police statement yesterday, the January 6th Committee has released more information about Rep. Loudermilk’s tour through parts of the complex on January 5th. 
They’ve also released a chilling video.
Recall that the Capitol Police said yesterday “there is no evidence” that Loudermilk’s 1/5 tour was suspicious. This is manifestly evidence, and much of it is from the Capitol Police’s own surveillance cameras. cnn.com/2022/06/14/pol…
The continued unreliability of the leadership of the Capitol Police presents a challenge, imo, to the pat, uncomplicated version of 1/6 that a lot of people have been striving to establish on television.
I should be more precise than CNN here. The Capitol Police said there’s no evidence that the tour entered the Capitol, and that they don’t consider the tour group’s activities suspicious. And the evidence clearly shows reasons to be suspicious.
Conducting a tour that doesn’t go into the Capitol is suspicious in itself! “Here are the stairs. Here’s the security check point at the entrance to the tunnel to the ceremonial spaces, but we won’t be going into it. Here’s where we get more toner.”?
