The doors of the Senate have been closed and locked, and senators have been told to stay away from the doors - @PeteWilliamsNBC
We are told to be prepared to get under chairs
“Verify every door is locked!!”
Members told to grab mask under seat, be prepared to put on.
Estimating maybe 100 people inside the chamber.
We just watched one man walk calmly up to the US Capitol and urinate on it.
The chants here are taking on violent overtones, including many directed at McConnell.
House chamber doors are barricaded.
Glass has been broken to gallery door.
Members from the floor have been evacuated, but members in the gallery area above the floor with press are sheltering as door barricaded.
Members are praying.
They do not know how long they will remain there.
“We need to get back to work counting the vote,” the senator said.

We have evacuated the House chamber.
Lots of members wearing gas masks as moving through buildings.
Members are calling family and saying they are OK.
"Let’s not get carried away here. I don’t want anyone hurt ... If anyone on the ground reads this and is beyond the line come back."

I'm sure Huber is coming to DC *only* to discuss Clinton Foundation things with Meadows and his committee.
He for certain, like, won't be huddling with Horowitz or that new guy, Whitaker while he's in town. That would NEVER HAPPEN. [wink wink wink!] 😉
I just spent a year and a half telling you they will SHOW YOU what they are REALLY DOING when they are READY.
Not before.
No matter how much whining is done about it.
I'm exhausted but it's worth it.
Now you know why they're f**king TERRIFIED of Whitaker, the closer tapped by Trump to come in late for the hysterical fireworks that will ensue soon.
Look who's suddenly fund raising for his legal defen- er, I mean, ha ha - his reelection campaign!
President Trump just attacked Adam on Twitter with his most profane insult yet. Will you chip in $5 to send Trump a message and show him you stand with Adam?
