Yeah, We Believe You

Last November, Capitol Police noticed that Congressman Troy Nehls' (R-TX) office door was left open, and no one was in there, and, as per their normal process, secured the area to ensure that no one could walk in and take something.

In the process, which the officer wrote up, they noted that there was a whiteboard with references to flak jackets and a map pointing out entrances to Congressional office buildings.

 Here is the money quote from the article:

Nehls accused Capitol Police leadership after one of the officers entered his office in the Longworth House Office Building with no prior notice Nov. 20, 2021, ahead of the Thanksgiving break, and took pictures of a whiteboard. The officer filed a report raising concerns about the contents of the whiteboard, which included mentions of “body armor” and a poorly drawn map of the Rayburn House Office Building — which is also part of the Capitol complex — that had an X at one of the building’s entrances.

………

In the police report, the Capitol officer who entered Nehls’s office said that he found the door “wide open with no one in the area” and that he noticed a whiteboard “with suspicious writings mentioning body armor with an outline of the Rayburn Building next to the Longworth building with an 'x' marked at the C street entrance of the Rayburn.”

The report says the officer locked the office’s door but does not mention that the officer took a picture of the office.

What is the distinguished gentleman from Texas' explanation?

Nehls explained that the writing on the board — which included reports of faulty Chinese-made body armor — was related to legislation his office was working on, while the map of the Rayburn Building, which Nehls said “looked like it was done by my 9-year-old,” was drawn for an intern who was sent on a mission to find the ice machine. The X marked the spot.

In a pig's eye. This guy has been among the most pro-insurrectionist in the House, and he threw a complete sh%$ fit over this, which strongly implies to me that January 6 was just a dress rehearsal, or "Beer Hall Putsch," as it were for future action.
