I'd love to see the financial losses compared to from that to the riots.

Their may have been a few bad people, but it doesn't sound like a lot, and it's nowhere near the equivalent of the looting and stealing from a lot of stores in the riots.

“National security equities” may have been among the records stolen from the Capitol on Wednesday when pro-Trump insurgents stormed the building and looted several congressional offices, the Justice Department said in a briefing Thursday.“

Another interesting piece of news from the same article:

“One current Metro D.C. police officer said in a public Facebook post that off-duty police officers and members of the military, who were among the rioters, flashed their badges and I.D. cards as they attempted to overrun the building. “If these people can storm the Capitol building with no regard to punishment, you have to wonder how much they abuse their powers when they put on their uniforms,” the officer wrote.“
