On January 6, there was a riot at the Capitol building that the vitriolic left has used as fodder to harass conservatives and malign former President Trump. Conservatives for months have said that there was something fishy about that day and how the entire “riot” materialized and now those suspicions have been confirmed.
The New York Times has confirmed that the Capitol riots were not some spur-of-the-moment action that Donald Trump egged on but in fact a pre-planned event.
The Capitol Police were aware of the threat and were given effectively a “stand-down” order.
The new 104-page report dropped by an internal investigator destroys authorities for intentionally hampering the police response on what has subsequently been claimed was a “coup,” an “insurrection,” and an attempt to “overturn” the results of the 2020 election.
The Inspector-General of the Capitol Police laid bare all of the disturbing issues involved with the way the January 6th Electoral College security was mishandled.
Here is more from Kyle Becker:
“A new report by the Capitol Police’s internal watchdog found that department leaders overlooked key intelligence in the run-up to the riot on Jan. 6, including a warning that ‘Congress itself is the target,’ and barred the force’s riot response unit from using its most powerful crowd-control measures,” the New York Times reported.
“The 104-page document, entitled ‘Review of the Events Surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Takeover of the U.S. Capitol,’ is the most searing portrait yet of the lapses and miscalculations around the most violent attack on the Capitol in two centuries,” the Times continued. “It adds significant new detail not unearthed in congressional hearings and is likely to inform a coming overhaul of the agency promised by lawmakers.”
“In a 104-page document, the inspector general, Michael A. Bolton, criticized the way the Capitol Police prepared for and responded to the mob violence on Jan. 6,” the Times said about the unpublished report. “The report was reviewed by The New York Times and will be the subject of a Capitol Hill hearing on Thursday.”
At the Trump impeachment trial, it was revealed that Congress had been warned by the now-resigned Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund an attack from extremists was coming days before the uprising. House impeachment manager Rep. Stacey Plaskett revealed the explosive information on the second day of the Senate trial.
“The day before the rioters stormed the Congress an FBI office in Virginia also issued an explicit warning that extremists were preparing to travel to Washington to commit violence and, quote, war, according to internal reports,” she said.
“Leading up to the event there were hundreds, hundreds of posts online showing that his supporters took this as a call to arms to attack the Capitol,” she continued. “There were detailed posts of plans to attack online. Law enforcement warned that these posts were real threats and even made arrests days leading up to the attack.”
Rep. Maxine Waters also revealed in an exclusive interview just after the capitol building uprising she warned the capitol police chief days prior to the attack:
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said the outgoing Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund ignored warnings that an attack by domestic terrorists was imminent days before insurrectionists imposed their will and overtook the hallowed government building on Jan. 6.
“First of all, to the families of those who died, they need to sue the U.S. government because the Capitol Police and others who had the responsibility of organizing security for this event failed,” she claimed.
“Either they are incompetent, or they lied, or they’re complicit,” she stated. “This is a very complicated combination of individuals and operations that I think played a role in this attack on our Capitol.”
Now that the truth has been revealed, I wonder how long it will take to hold those who truly allowed this to occur to be held accountable?
I think the families that lost their loved ones should sue, but not the taxpayers, sue the ones responsible, starting with Pelosi. This investigation has many important questions unanswered, why did the LEOs welcome a bus load of people as if they were tourists, smiling and talking while leading them? There are just too many whys, the only way to find the answers is to allow a private investigation, starting with Pelosi. According to the evidence, videos and statements from people on the scene, there is enough evidence already that this was a plot to paint President Trump as the leader of an insurrection, yet this whole thing could have been avoided had Pelosi and company done as Trump suggested, if that request had been honored, Ashli Bobbitt would still be alive, as would the others that were used as fodder for this sinister purpose.
