One day before the insurrection, the pro-Trump representative showed a man around the Capitol who would later declare, on video: “There’s no escape…We’re coming for you.”

Back in May, the January 6 committee sent a letter to Georgia representative Barry Loudermilk catching him in a bald-faced lie. “Republicans on the Committee on House Administration—of which you are a Member—claimed to have reviewed security footage from the days preceding January 6th and determined that ‘[t]here were no tours, no large groups, no one with MAGA hats on’,” the panel wrote to the GOP congressman. “However, the Select Committee’s review of evidence directly contradicts that denial.” It added: “We believe you have information regarding a tour you led through parts of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021.” In response, Loudermilk, a Trump supporter who has likened the ex-president to Jesus, copped to leading a tour, but insisted it merely involved “a constituent family with young children” that did not enter the building on January 6. Soon after, Loudermilk’s story changed, with the congressman admitting that the family also had “guests,” putting the head count for the group as high as 15 people, according to the Capitol Police. And while Loudermilk might have thought that was the end of that, the January 6 committee apparently was not done with him.

On Wednesday, the panel released footage of the January 5 tour given by Loudermilk, noting that the participants appeared to take a keen interest in “areas not typically of interest to tourists: hallways, staircases and security checkpoints.”

In an accompanying letter sent to Loudermilk on Wednesday, the committee writes: “For example, the below image shows an individual appearing to photograph a staircase in the basement of the Longworth House Office Building while you speak with others nearby. [Another] image shows members of the tour you led also taking photographs of the tunnel leading from the Rayburn House Office Building to the Capitol. The behavior of these individuals during the January 5, 2021 tour raises concerns about their activity and intent while inside the Capitol complex.” As Esquire’s Charles Pierce notes, “The pictures accompanying the letter are specific and damning, unless you believe that Loudermilk’s congressional district is full of people whose hobby it is to collect photos of government staircases.”

Perhaps even more damning? An additional video released by the committee is said to show that same individual who photographed the staircase on Loudermilk’s tour headed to the Capitol on January 6, speaking to another man carrying a flagpole with a spear on the end who says, “It’s for a certain person.” The man from Loudermilk’s tour later says in the video: “There’s no escape [Nancy] Pelosi, [Chuck] Schumer, [Jerry] Nadler. We’re coming for you. We’re coming in like white on rice for Pelosi, Nadler, Schumer, even you, AOC. We’re coming to take you out and pull you out by your hairs…. When I get done with you, you’re going to need a shine on top of that bald head.”

As The Washington Post notes, “none of this proves that Loudermilk knowingly or even unknowingly helped those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. Nor does the committee’s letter address whether the man in the video even entered the Capitol. But it lends at least some weight to some Democrats’ heretofore-unsubstantiated allegations that GOP members led ‘reconnaissance’ tours before Jan. 6,” and it certainly doesn’t look good. In concluding its letter to Loudermilk, January 6 panel chair Bennie Thompson writes: “The foregoing information raises questions the Select Committee must answer…. We again ask you to meet with the Select Committee at your earliest convenience.”
