Anyone have any idea about the door that was blurred out in Tuckers report? He mentioned it was blurred at request of Capitol Police.
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
He said we would barely notice it and quickly moved on. Tucker saying don’t look at this, basically is telling us to look into it.
Did the door lead to the tunnels under the capitol?
"it's just a broom closet. Don't worry about it, peasant."
That or an otherwise restricted area. There’s probably various hardened rooms and various secure areas scattered around the capital for all sorts of reasons.
Personally speaking. If there was an entrance to tunnels. I don’t think they’d have it in an area readily accessible to anyone on staff. Or at least I wouldn’t. Too much risk of a Janitor or a Mall Ninja guard of the capital police ending up somewhere they shouldn’t be while doing their rounds.
I’d personally Set it inside a rarely used meeting room or something. And label it something innocuous like “Office Supplies”. It’d pass casual inspection of anyone not in the know. And you’d have the cover to vanish for hours at a time in the guise of having a “Meeting” in said room.
The capital and probably 20 blocks surrounded all have tunnels. Supreme Court Rayburn Longworth Cannon Library of Congress Hart Russel all connected underground. More than likely up to Union Station to the North and there's a small power plant that generates steam heat for the whole area to the south.
It would be a door to a room,wear they have security to check id's and the real door to the tunnels.....
Back in the day when the entire complex was open to everyone, a guy I worked with spent his spare time exploring the "blank" areas on the public blue prints of the Capitol. This comprises a lot of real estate.. He reported all sorts of interesting places, but one was particularly interesting. A door in the hall right outside of the Senate entrance to the public gallery, unlocked and unguarded, a stairway and at the top a door with two guards who escorted him out. He reasoned he had found the Intelligence Cme room. In those days, we didn't know who sat on that cmte, its location or schedule.
No tunnel to union Station. Wasn't one to the old library of congress but one was built from Cannon bldg to new Madison annex. Once I got lost in the garage and ended up in a park behind the Rayburn bldg. The exit was a small stone bldg I saw every day but assumed were gardener supply sheds. Now when they put the subway system in, I am sure the opportunity for new undetected digging was huge.
Show the pic. Was it the door near where Ashley Babbit was murdered?
