On Tuesday, current and former Capitol Police officials testified at a joint hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Rules committees about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The law enforcement officers claimed that they had been prepared to face a potentially violent protest, but they said the rioters caught them off guard. “We properly planned for a mass demonstration with possible violence. What we got was a military-style coordinated assault on my officers and a violent takeover of the Capitol building,” former U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) Chief Steven Sund testified. He pushed back on claims that USCP was not prepared for the riot.

Was it a wanna-be-modern-Viking attack? Because that guy with the horns is a totally new form of military- style. I can see why the Capitol were completely unprepared for that guy.
What a crock of spin.

Almost two months later and charges filed against over two hundred people. With several professional law enforcement organizations involved, we should have a more detailed and fact based description of what was done and who did it. We should be well beyond this kind of impressionistic, "Gosh it was awful" testimony.

When three times as many Capitol Police officers are disciplined for fraternizing with the demonstrators as are reported to have been injured there is reason to question how complete a picture the testimony delivered today provided of the events at the Capitol on January 6th. There seems to have been a good deal more "undocumented tourism" than "insurrection."

They opened the doors and let people in.
Just like they were ordered to do by Nutty, Nasty Nan.

All one has to do is look at the video to see the Capitol police remove the barriers and wave them in and then escort them around inside like they would a tourist. What they need is a couple of Capitol police who are willing to spill the beans about who ordered them to stand back and I think Nancy's name might come up. I've said it once and I'll say it again..........Trump backers do NOT pull stunts like this. Trouble is that none of the crazies will be indicted and convicted !!

It was planned. They had actors, Antifa and BLM. My bet it was Pelosi, the squad and probably more liberals.

simply another "hearing" that will produce no results and no conclusive evidence except that whites are responsible for all of the mayhem happening in our country today. example: BLM is composed mostly of white people. Antifa is composed mostly of white people, who are nothing but insurrectionists and paid provocateurs supported by those wealthy individuals who want to destroy this country and then take it over for their own purposes. no other country on earth is equal to the United States, which could be the only country on earth which could be totally independently sustained by using its own natural resources.

Yeah, that is why lots of the cops just let people in, some practically directed them as to where to go.

No, what you got was your pants pulled down in front of everybody, unless you were in on it.

Anyone with a brain who read this article can see that the description given by the testimony was the standard operating procedure of Antifa and BLM. It is not that of Trump supporters. Those two groups are coordinated and they do use fire extinguishers. They come prepared for battle loaded with weapons of all kinds. Trump supporters were coming to Washington for a rally, a peaceful protest. However, once President Trump set the date, the left went into overdrive planning and plotting how they could hijack it and they did. We know who commits the violence, intimidation, and mayhem. We have ample video footage of their work in living color. What we don’t have on our side is the abject evil that drives democrats who are more than willing to commit acts of violence and place the blame on others. The ability of democrats to lie in the face of irrefutable evidence is what drives these false narratives. They are unafraid to lie. In fact, I believe they prefer it.
These investigations are nothing more than political theater. They lie, set the narrative and then the media takes it from there. They are not interested in truth or facts. The entire radical left is where truth goes to die. They are truly sons and daughters of the Father of Lies.

It's amazing that there is no mention of antifa types. They hate America, and attacking the Capitol would seem to be their ultimate target. Looks like there is a determined effort to blame everything on the right. I don't think they've ever said who exactly has been arrested, and their group connections. It smells.

I’ve watched at least 15 Trump rallies in the past and none of the people in attendance wore black from top to bottom, downed helmets and had back packs - Red is the color of Trump. Black is the color of antifa and BLM. This whole thing was a put up job by the left.

Has anybody reviewed video of the Trump rally crowd? See any attendees dressed all in black? Didn't think so...

What a friend's son in law saw from the bottom of the Capitol steps at the senate chambers side is someone from the inside opened a set of double doors and the first group that walked in were straggly and were not dressed like rally attendees. He and his friend walked away as they knew something was going very wrong. Now the federal investigation bureau is probably selectively tracking them and not his group.

Remember the photos of the guys dressed in black and scaling the walls with ropes? Trump supporters do NOT show up to rallies with climbing equipment. Antifa and BLM have a history of doing just that, though sometimes they use that equipment to pull down statues rather than for climbing walls.

Those men resigned for a reason. There wasn't a grain of credibility displayed all day. They expected friendly Trump supporters but they did not prepare for Antifa.

I saw a photograph of the guy with the horns standing ( posing )in a Capitol hallway with professional photographers around him calmly taking his picture. Why were they there? How did they get in?

First off, these are "shows" put on to quiet the masses...Congress is taking this seriously, you know, and will get to the bottom of all this...you'll see, when the whitewash report is issued exonerating leadership, and mostly everyone else involved...except PDT and "white supremacists". Who among the Republicans will fight on behalf of white supremacists?
Second, I'll accept these were coordinated, military style attacks. Months later, with much investigational vigor, the "generals" have not/cannot be identified? The sources of "military grade" weaponry cannot be established, and a chain of evidence along with it? Like the Selection, the UNIPARTY wants nothing to do with the truth, but to grind FPDT further into the pavement and further extend the "white supremacy" meme into polite society.
So, whodunnit? Who coordinated the shock troops, their logistics and communications? Should be difficult to ascertain. But do the politicos want you to know? Uh, no...not at all. Oh, look! A COVIDS VARIANT!!

Well...Well... folks... now WE know what was on nervous Nancy's stolen laptop... the capitol police were warned the day before the demonstration that there was going to be trouble... nervous nancy is in charge of the house and it's security...she knew and failed to call in the national guard...why?... because she wanted the "insurrection" narrative for the second fake impeachment trial... it's all a kabuki show... watch what the left hand is doing when the Dems wave their right hand around....time for your meds nancy... you're losing control...

This is total bull corn. The Capital Police escorted the mob in like they were tourist those were not Trump supporters. The biggest mistake Trump made was have a rally on that day in Washington. This gave Pelosi and CP time to coordinate a fake riot on the capital to proceed with impeachment proceedings. If the CP were overwhelmed then they need to be in another line of work. Now the left in Washington are scared of something with their 'palace guards', barbed wire and blockades. On Nov. 3 the left stole an election to put a demented stooge in the White House. President Trump has to be canceled at all cost.

How were the rioters able to be incited by Trump a day or more beforehand? Did they all get an advance copy of his speech?

I guess this military grade gas is only effective against police. I don't think most of the protesters were wearing military grade gas masks and the gas must not have affected them much since the riot continued. Try again with a new excuse.

So instead of fearing and banning black "assault rifles," which were notably absent from the democrat-inspired Capitol riot, are we now to fear and ban"assault flags?"

The police officer who shot the woman in the chest obviously lost set-control. The scenario reminds us of the Kent State incident when women were killed because of loss of self-control ( I know rocks where being thrown, but rifles bullets were over the top) The other video evidence ( the guy in horns talking to the Capital police officer) indicates probably not a crises.

An extremely important question they are avoiding: “ Who murdered Angelo Babbitt “?
We The People, and her family deserve an honest answer

The “rioters” had no weapons, there was no wholesale vandalism or destruction, there were no fires set. This was not true of the, so called, peaceful demonstration that destroyed portions of our cities this last summer. Yet the MSM and politicians acted like the world was coming to an end.
