Rush to judgement? Three crucial questions remain unanswered about Capitol siege

What did Nancy Pelosi know? A prior plot or spontaneous riot? Were there inside facilitators?

One thing recent history has taught America is the first storyline of major tragedies or controversies is never the most accurate.

Americans were told by the Bush administration that they were sucker-punched by a surprise attack on 9/11 by terrorists, only to learn the CIA and FBI had significant advance evidence of the plot and its players and failed to connect the dots.

Susan Rice originally told the nation that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was carried out spontaneously by a mob angered by an anti-Muslim video. The attack, it turned out, was pre-planned and carried out by an al-Qaeda-aligned terror group in Libya.

The country was assured Christopher Steele's dossier provided credible evidence of Donald Trump colluding with Russia, when in fact the CIA and FBI knew almost immediately it was uncorroborated and based in part on Russian disinformation.

And now just a week after the heinous and deadly siege of the U.S. Capitol, the final narrative of what actually happened is still being written, revised and unmasked.

Since the weekend, major bombshell revelations already have substantially revised the initial story of a spontaneous mob overrunning an unsuspecting Capitol police force.

The FBI admitted Tuesday it received information ahead of the Jan. 6 tragedy suggesting some participants were planning a "war" on the Capitol, including killing officers and distributing maps of the complex. It alerted Washington D.C. law enforcement through the joint terrorism task force alert system. It also "disrupted" the travel plans of some of the suspected trouble-makers.

Do people not understand what a real siege is?

“What did Chris Wray know and when did he know it”

It’s 1974 again!

A useful narrative has been established, so the actual facts no longer matter.

What happened last Wednesday at the Capitol was more like a tour with a couple of bad children.

The “siege” blather is a distraction from the STEAL. We need to declare and consistently call, Biden an illegitimate “President”.......IF Trump doesn’t pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Right. The LEFTIST media has the narrative they want and will never back off it regardless of the facts.

The Left said it was choosing Truth over Facts, so the Narrative wins every time.

Siege? The siege of Leningrad was a real siege. The siege of Stalingrad was a real siege. The siege of Sevastopol was a real siege.

The "siege" of the Capitol was some guy in his Halloween costume strutting around.

Rabbit out of a hat!?

Have you read one page of research on who Trump is?

He has written books. Not shadow authors either. He has written books on who he is and how he operates

The ONE thing that is missed in these discussions is that ANTIFA brought change of clothing to the event. Person filming murder of Babbit later seen changing clothing behind a group of cops on the steps then disappears. Crowd shot showing person wearing a red hat with a BLACK hat worn backwards over it.

His Fraudulency needs to be reminded at every public appearance (if there are any)

This article seems to think truth,or reality for that matter, will make a difference?

Not sure I would reduce it to that level since one protestor was killed but it is certainly not at the level the media is making it out to be.

... The U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who resigned after the attack, told The Washington Post that security officials at the House and Senate rebuffed his early request to call in the National Guard ahead of a protest.

Sund alleged that House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the “optics” of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence. He says Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger recommended that he informally request the Guard to be ready in case it was needed to maintain security.

Irving and Stenger have not talked publicly. But their account will be essential to the final effort to assign accountability for the glaring security lapses exposed last Wednesday. The key questions for both men is whether they warned Pelosi or Senate Leaders Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer about the violence concerns or consulted with the leaders about the idea of activating the Guard.

Democrats for weeks were concerned by the pro-Trump rally and previously had criticized Trump for using National Guard to quell Black Lives Matter riots in the summer. The leadership’s discussions with their security chiefs now becomes an essential investigative focus....

Note- to find some of these offices, the rioters had to have insider info.
