Regarding casing the capitol on January 5th.

I am pretty sure that there is a video showing a woman ( the pink hat woman ) telling insurgents where to go as they were breaking through a window, explicitly saying she had been there the day before.

I will see if I can find it. I remember because at the time people were debating who was that pink hat woman.

on edit:

In yet another video, she stands outside a broken window, shouting instructions through the bullhorn to rioters inside. Powell says, “I’ve been in the other room,” and appears to outline a plan involving breaking a pane of glass to get into another part of the Capitol

I never heard her say she had been there the day before.

not explicitly that it was the day before . She has been since convicted.
In light of more recent findings I wonder if they are going to check that statement more accurately. Maybe it has already been investigated.

They were speculating that it was Bobo’s mom.

Should be easy enough to match up the locations.

Was Rachel Powell aka #BullHornLady part of Jan 5 tour led by Rep Barry Loudermilk?

With her direction and stating she has been in this room before, this would finally answer the question how she knew.

I remember reading she traveled to D.C. with someone of note back then. It's all vague in my head now. Time to re-research. Hmmm.
