DoJ raised fears of stolen electronic items from a senators' offices at Capitol. It comes after hundreds gained access to offices during Wednesday's riot. At least one Democrat Senator has already reported a laptop stolen and the DoJ is urgently trying to take stock of what secrets may have been lifted by looters amid grave concerns over the lax security at the seat of American democracy with claims that military and police personnel were among the mob. Rioters were pictured at the desks of high-ranking members of Congress, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with unfettered access to dossiers, computers and phones. It comes amid questions over the lax security and claims from a Metro DC cop that off-duty military and police personnel were among the thugs and 'flashing their ID badges' at their on-duty colleagues. Michael Sherwin, acting US attorney for the District of Columbia, said 'items, electronic items were stolen from senators' offices, documents and ... we have to identify what was done to mitigate that.' The prosecutor said an investigation could take 'several days to flesh out exactly what happened, what was stolen, what wasn't.'

Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) said at least one laptop had been stolen from his offices, while another protester was seen brandishing Pelosi's mail outside the Capitol in the aftermath.

The Senate Parliamentarian's office was ripped apart by the rabble, with footage showing the floor of her rooms covered in files taken from drawers and cabinets.

It comes as an image of a police officer has emerged showing him appearing to take a selfie with one of the Trump supporter's during the riot which left five people dead - including four protesters and a policeman.

Other photos reveal officers chatting freely with the Trump supporters as terrified lawmakers barricaded themselves inside rooms throughout the building.

A serving Metro DC police officer took to Facebook to claim that off-duty members of the police and military were flashing their ID cards and badges as they walked by law enforcement.

'If these people can storm the Capitol building with no regard to punishment, you have to wonder how much they abuse their powers when they put on their uniforms,' the officer wrote.

'The fact that police officers from other agencies have aligned themselves with such terorristic groups shows how scary it is to be BLACK in America ... They weren't trying to hide who they are because they know nothing will happen to them.'

With leftist/communist politicians, why should anyone worry about our national enemies?

Pelosi is another bomb thrower. She tore up the president’s SOTU speech on live television, impeached the president without any evidence of wrong doing. She’s too old and not fit to be speaker. Yet, they keep voting for her. That’s on the democrats.

The ol’ “stolen laptop” theory, eh? Sounds to me like a cover story for if and when Trump declassifies anything.

National Secrets eh?

Perhaps Pelosi’s laptops can be exchanged for Seth Rich’s, Anthony Weiner’s, and Hunter Biden’s.

I mean, State Secrets who cares.

We want the truth, and justice!

Papers strewn around is just the thing someone would do just before taking a photo.

“She’s too old and not fit to be speaker.”

Dear friend, that is the LEAST of the reasons she is not fit, but yes...she’s older than dirt and likely owned pet dinosaurs in her childhood. :)

Of course! But, where is the outcry over Hunter Biden’s blunder with a laptop he seemingly forgot about? (humph)

That guy with Nancy's lectern?

Don't mistake him for a hero. He's an antifa thug. There's a thread up dedicated to him right now.

National secrets left out in unoccupied space is a crime in itself.
