Re: “Per the D.C. Police, the Lieutenant stated that the number of Capitol Police present was just half the number usually on duty for a joint session of Congress. I looked for the link at Judicial Watch, but cannot find it.”
Things that make you go “hmm.”. I could not find the link either, but this Forbes article is quite damning:
“Despite employing 1,879 sworn officers as of September 2020, a congressional inquiry forced USCP to admit that on January 6th, only 195 officers were deployed to interior or exterior posts at the U.S. Capitol and 276 more were assigned to the Department’s seven civil disturbance unit platoons.”
More at link (it only gets worse):
I know this will not be a popular opinion on FR, but prior to Jan 6, I thought the rally was a bad idea. Trump was used to holding rallies where crowds could be vetted before entry, and both inner and outer perimeter security were robust. He was accustomed to having control over security and crowd management.
Not so for this Jan 6 rally where control was in the hands of his enemies. Opportunity for bad actors to infiltrate was wide open. Sorry, but it seemed to me at the time poor judgment on his part, and still does. Whether it was Fatal Error is debatable.
The Judicial Watch document just refers to "half."
JW has a big pile of Ashli Babbitt documents.
Searching with the exact name of the shooter might turn up the correct document.
It is just one sentence. It is not the main subject of any document.
