Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said the newly named interim speaker, GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol building.

She does maintain her regular office in the Cannon House office building.

An email sent from McHenry’s office to Pelosi’s office just after 6 p.m. Tuesday evening that was viewed by CNN, stated, “Going to reassign h-132 for speaker office use. Please vacate the space tomorrow.”

Pelosi said in a statement that she was not in Washington, DC, to immediately move her belongings.

    Implying these guys knew where they were going or anyone in the building. Trump is the only one they can reliably identify.

        They also tried to attack some of the Republicans though. It’s easy to know Pelosi by name even for them and her office must be identified, I bet most wouldn’t be able to tell it’s her if they crossed her on the street.

          Pelosi had one of the “hideaway” offices. They’re intentionally kept secret so no name on the door, no open registry of who has what office. The location would need to be leaked by someone in the know.

            Not to mention the removal/disabling of panic buttons not that long before the insurrection, the gallows, trying to move Pence to a 2nd location, etc… This shit was planned and they absolutely knew. The insurrectionists are stupid, but they’re not so stupid they can’t follow a floorplan leaked to them by an insider(my money’s on boebert).
