Capitol Police

Description

Badges pierce Rayburn House's marble hush as Capitol Police enforce midnight congressional ramparts—three officers sentinel the negotiation door, one swinging it silent for Leo and Jordan's entry; armed guards materialize outside under Chairman's privacy veil, igniting Jordan's intimidation charge and scattering to hall's distant flank; pairs bookend hearing room corridors, ghosts in Leo's storming wake. Relentless access wardens, they flex institutional muscle amid censure blades and loyalty fractures, bending to power plays yet yielding to fierce demands.
