I make the strongest possible objection to the DOJ failing to indict those members of Congress who can be readily shown to have violated their oaths by participating in an attempted insurrection. They should have been discharged years ago (and in prison).

@racocn8 The bar for conviction is high. Perhaps they don't have proof beyond a reasonable doubt. What have we really got on her besides her annoying and unpatriotic rhetoric?

Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., has said she saw “members of Congress who had groups coming through the Capitol ... a reconnaissance for the next day.”

In some reporting, MTG was one of them, but this was later denied. However, elements of what happened have been "sanitized" and "revised" to fit the script. The interception of militia with long guns was reported by a congressmember, but discussion of this episode was apparently banned. Only the CIA can suppress news reporting like that. Sherill's account may have also been 'disavowed'. Later reporting could only validate congressman Barry Loudermilk as giving a tour. Not likely. We'll never know for sure.

"One such difference, Greene recounts in her new book, includes a handful of Republicans who were armed with concealed weapons during the riot. As Greene writes, while Democrats "were simply going crazy," Republicans were "ready to be good guys with guns" in the chance that a threat reached the House floor." Yet MTG fully supports the intent of Jan 6 insurrectionists in other actions (per her fealty to Trump). She was armed because she knew what was coming and either hoped to protect herself or to aid the coup. That she knew what was coming and did nothing to stop it makes her part of it.
