Here’s something the Democrats hope you will miss.
Law enforcement officials testifying before a joint Senate hearing on Tuesday confirmed their belief that the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol building was planned before the day of the event. This information completely annihilates the Democrats’ narrative regarding the assault on the Capitol building.
The Hill reported, “Top current and former law enforcement officials testifying Tuesday before a joint Senate hearing on the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol told lawmakers that evidence pointed to coordination and planning behind the mob of people that overwhelmed Capitol Police officers during the attack.”
Former Capitol police chief Steven Sund told members of the Senate that several factors led the authorities to believe that the riots were preplanned, and not spontaneous as Democrats have suggested.
“I’m able to provide you a quick overview of why I think it was a coordinated attack. One, people came specifically with equipment. You’re bringing in climbing gear to a demonstration. You’re bringing in explosives. You’re bringing in chemical spray … you’re coming prepared,” he explained.
The former police chief also noted the pipe bombs outside of the Democratic and Republican party headquarters. He indicated that they were likely placed to distract law enforcement from the Capitol during the assault on the Capitol.
Acting D.C. Metropolitan Police chief Robert Contee III concurred with Sund’s assessment. He told lawmakers that he saw “hand signals being used by several of the insurrectionists,” along with communication via radio being used by others.
“A number of individuals linked to various right-wing groups, including the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, have been arrested in the weeks following the attack in connection to the violence, while the FBI’s D.C. field office is currently searching for dozens of other people present during the attack,” according to The Hill.
Remember when the Democrats based their entire impeachment case on the notion that former President Donald Trump incited the assault on the Capitol in the speech he gave at the rally? Have you seen how they still pretend that the entire incident was his fault? Well, this story further debunks their deceptive narrative.
Still, it is evident that none of this matters to the left because they already know that their arguments are false. They were as dishonest with this matter as they were about Russia collusion. But, it’s no surprise that they have resorted to this level of deception. It’s easier than debating the issues, isn’t it?
Has Susan Rice blamed it on a YouTube video yet?
.
The big question is who were those who did the coordination and planning? It seems as if they are dragging that information out as long as they can.
Pelosi or McConnell or both knew this, because one or both negated the request for more police. They are the only ones who could deny the request of the police chief.
WaPo misleadingly tries to conflate gun arrests with the Capitol event.
***note what Contee says about “1pm”:
7 Jan: WaPo: (scroll down) Three died of medical emergencies during siege of Capitol
By Michael Brice-Saddler and Clarence Williams
(D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee III) said police had made at least 52 arrests: four for carrying pistols without licenses, one arrest for possession of a prohibited weapon and 47 arrests for curfew violations and unlawful entry. Twenty-six of the 52 arrests were made on U.S. Capitol grounds, Contee said...
Contee also said at the news conference that D.C. police had participated in “several planning meetings with Capitol Police” and other agencies to plan for protests on Wednesday.
He said Capitol Police called for help at ***1 p.m. because of “significant activity” outside the Capitol and that “we immediately deployed platoons to assist the Capitol Police.”...

Proud Boys and Oath Keepers bad; AntiFA good as far as the Dems are concerned. I wonder if the FBI has checked into the left wing group that calls itself “Shut Down DC” and had as its aim to make sure that President Trump did not get re-elected. Their website is still up. We never even hear about them in any news media.
The Ministry of Propaganda will not change their narrative in any way.
They still have people convinced there was something/anything to the whole Russian collusion delusion.
RE: It seems as if they are dragging that information out as long as they can.
Like they did the Hunter Biden laptop and the investigation he was under.
Now if someone would please inform the Republican party so they can correct the dhimmicrats when they claim “insurrection” nonsense.
That's less than .0001 percent arrest rate.
They’re implying Oath Keepers and Proud Boys but the reality is probably quite different given the presence of BLM’s John Earle Sullivan.
The second impeachment (the first, too) should be removed from the history books and Trump’s name/presidential record AND shoved down Pelosi’s throat. She and McConnell should be removed from office.
You get the feeling that the democrats would not really want an honest commission looking into this hence bringing aboard the bigot and racist Russell Honore’
And these were not MAGA people.
There’s no way without pre-planning that one single person would’ve ever got in that building
Pelozi’s role in this is crying out for investigation.
Lucky for the Democrats facts don’t matter.
I know the pinko Dims are a lost cause; but I wonder, if the Repukes that voted for impeachment had souls or any shame, are they feeling like a horses behind right now?
