Groups Of 2, Sometimes 3 Seen Heading Down Hallways

WASHINGTONSources from inside the U.S. Capitol are reporting that random groups of congressmen are currently walking through hallways, corridors, and foyers toward some location, often in groups of two, three, or four. Though their destination remains as yet unclear, the legislators have been seen walking up and down staircases, and have also been observed gesticulating with both their right and left arms, Beltway observers told reporters, adding that an assortment of congressional aides are typically trailing behind the various groups. Some clusters of congressmen are talking and joking with one another. Others are confidently striding through the Capitol. Occasionally they will lean in to one another and whisper something out of earshot of reporters and then slyly smile. We still dont know where they are going, though. At press time, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was the only elected official seen walking by himself, with no one within 30 feet of him.
