Within two hours of the incursion into the Capitol, I thought it was a Reichstag Fire setup to blame conservatives and Trump supporters. Nothing since that time has convinced me that it was a well planned plot to get hotheads, augmented by Federal agents and Antifa in MAGA gear, to cause havoc in our nation’s capital. The Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and Alex Jones and his crew were played for fools. Even President Trump should have realized, when Pelosi refused National Guard protection, that there were plans to entrap the protesters.

Totally agree
Lt Johnson is not suicidal. Wonder if the other two officers’ story will be told?
Trump likely did realize that, at least in terms of internalizing the official abuse he suffered at the hands of Pelosi that day. She unaccountably prevented Trump’s idea, of deploying 10,000 national guard troops to the Capitol, from moving forward. Surely Trump’s heart began to sink in real time when he realized Pelosi was gleefully inviting disaster by stonewalling him. He must have thought—Nancy’s up to something very, very bad.
