the oxygen should probably be cut off at this point.

Also, a little deductive reasoning would conclude that the FBI would likely have identified her as Boebert's mother if they believed she was. Clearly, they don't.

As for 2), I agree.

The FBI has its own reasons for arresting and laying charges in its own time.

So, by actual reasoning, the fact that they have not announced an arrest does not mean that they have not "identified her as Borbert's mother".

Clearly, they don't.


Nonsense. You have no facts or logic to back up such a bald statement. In reasoning, absence of evidence (arrest) is not evidence of absence (absence of guilt). For example, just because Mueller didn't indict tRump doesn't mean that he wasn't indictable (that's a legal controversy). Nor does it mean that there wasn't enough criminality to indict him. Probably Mueller didn't dig deep enough.

One factor that could easily play into a delayed arrest/announcement is one that would occur to many Democrats in this weird period just before tRump leaves office. It is entirely possible that the FBI / DAs etc do not want to give tRump a flag to pardon a high profile arrestee just right at the moment.

FBI Seeks Public’s Help In Identifying “Bullhorn Lady”

January 17, 2021

The Daily Dot reports:

A viral video shows people in the Capitol riots coordinating their attack on Congress. “What’s the floor plan?” a man asks at the beginning of the video, which is filmed from inside the building. The room is crowded and chaotic.

Seconds later, a woman in a pink hat and sunglasses appears in the window. “Hey guys, I’ve been in the other room…” she says into a bullhorn, then proceeds to deliver detailed instructions on how to take the building.

“In the other room on the other side of this door right here where you are standing, there is a glass that somebody, if it’s broken, you can drop down into a room underneath it,” she says, gesturing.

Over the last couple of days Twitter has exploded with claims that the so-called “bullhorn lady” is the mother of QAnon/GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, who has said that her mother was with her on the day of the riots. While the women appear to be similar looking, many others are discounting the claims.
