Rayburn Building Conspiracy Theory -- You Heard It Here First!
Okay, so Speaker Hastart declared that, due to the seperation of powers, Congressional offices are off limits to the FBI, right?
So now there's a report of "gunshots" and the smell of gunpowder in the Rayburn Office Building and the Capital Police are investigating, right?
But who else is in the building? The FBI's "Terrorism Task Force"!
Most members of congress and their staffs have already left for the Memorial Day weekend, and the people who are in the building were advised to stay where they were while the "Terrorism Task Force" (wink wink) searches the building for an alleged gunman.
Sound familiar? There was that little plan of G Gordon Liddy's, 35 years ago, where he wanted to pull a fire alarm at the Brookings Institute and, while the building was evacuated, the Plumbers would enter the building dressed as firemen and search some offices for who knows what.
They never went through with that plan. Has the Department of Justice pulled off what the ol' Plumbers never did?
I'm just thinking out loud here. ;)
You know, when I first heard the reports this morning, I thought it was kind of odd, in light of the recent brouhaha.
How much for one of them there hats?
