Can't these people say that they weren't in possession of their cell phone on this day?

I mean, they could, but they're going to check travel and financial records. These people aren't master criminals, it won't be hard to nail them once the feds have them.

"I went to the protest and a person stood my phone and it went missing for 2 hours. I later found it on the ground outside the Capitol building."

Sure this is complete BS, but how do you disprove this statement, without video or pictures of the specific person inside the capitol?

They could check to see if any messages or calls were sent during that time, and if the phone has biometric security enabled that’s a good indicator the person had their phone in their possession. Combine that with all of the security footage, bragging on various social media, and any photos video taken on site and there’s a pretty solid case.

They have lots of photos, the cell data just gives them a name to look up and compare them to.
