This particular couple was on my local news, bragging about how cool they were and how they “thanked” the Capitol police for their service



Anyway … I did send the fbi the link to the news story back in January 2021 …

Glad to see they have finally been picked up

According to court documents, Kimberly and Steven Dragoo took pictures of themselves during the assault on the Capitol and those pictures were leaked to the FBI by an anonymous source.

And here is a print article from Jan 7 2021

A St. Joseph woman who made her way inside the U.S. Capitol building during a riot Wednesday wasn’t arrested, and the performance of the United States Capitol Police led to its chief’s resignation.

Kim Dragoo, 51, posted pictures of herself inside the Capitol Wednesday on social media. Those posts have drawn criticism on Facebook, where the platform removed some of her pictures. Dragoo defended her actions, saying by the time she made it inside, at about 4 p.m., that police were simply allowing members of the public to walk through a small section of the building.

The Capitol had been closed to allow Congress to certify the Electoral College vote for President-elect Joe Biden. In one of Dragoo’s videos, an “area closed” sign is clearly seen.

“There were police on each end, and a couple in the back, they stood there, they weren’t pushing anybody out,” Dragoo said. “A lot of people did go in and out of windows.”

A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Investigation referred News-Press NOW to a statement that called for the public to submit any photos or videos they have of people who instigated violence during the riot to the agency.

Dragoo is not under arrest, and she was never detained. She said she and her husband, Steven, attended a rally hosted by President Donald Trump before making their way to the Capitol complex. … more at link
