Within hours of the storming of the Capitol, the FBI seized thousands of phone records — including from members of Congress.

The collection effort has been met with little resistance from telecom providers asked to turn over voluminous data on the activity that day.

“No one wants to be on the wrong side of the insurrection,” a source involved in the collection effort said.

The FBI is “searching cell towers and phones pinging off cell sites in the area to determine visitors to the Capitol,” a recently retired senior FBI official told The Intercept.

The data is also being used to map links between suspects, which include members of Congress.

Sorry, but the FBI is only going after patriots, if they did find anything on the swamp dwellers you can be assured it ill be archived and hidden away for future black mail use only, not for justice. Look at the 2 years they sat on Hunter Biden's laptop and evidence of money laundering and pedophilia. Yet, no recommendations to the DOJ for prosecution, ... good dirt on a Potential President's son is far more valuable for coercive purposes than justice and prosecution.

Disband the FBI!

>Capitol Police are reportedly investigating whether lawmakers helped rioters gain access to the Capitol as several Democrats have alleged they did, though Republican officials deny this.

It was the other way around!
I'm SO SICK OF THIS SHIT.

We are to the point that hopefully they go after Patriots so things can get better.
