Senate sergeant-at-arms in charge of security during Jan 6 riot dead at 71
Michael Stenger, the Senate sergeant-at-arms responsible for securing the upper chamber of Congress during the January 6, 2021 riot, has died at the age of 71. There has not yet been an official cause of death released to the public.
Following a long career in the Secret Service, Stenger was nominated to the position of Senate sergeant-at-arms in 2018. He served for three years, resigning the day after the Jan. 6 riot in 2021. Stenger was criticized following the attack on the nation's Capitol, with many arguing he should have done more to secure the building from the hordes of oncoming protestors. As the Washington Examiner reports, it took four hours for the National Guard to show up, by which time the Capitol had already been breached.
Speaking to a Senate committee after the attack, Stenger offered his thoughts on what could have been done better. "There is an opportunity to learn lessons from the events of January 6th," he said. "Investigations should be considered as to funding and travel of what appears to be professional agitators. First Amendment rights should always be considered in conjunction with these investigations." "Law enforcement coordination in the Capitol region should be reviewed to determine what can be done in a more efficient and productive manor," he continued. "Intelligence collection and dissemination, training and concepts on the use of force must be consistent." "In conclusion, whenever we prepare for a major event, we must always consider the possibility of some level of civil disobedience at these demonstrations, and plan accordingly. The events of January 6 went beyond disobedience. It was a violent coordinated attack where the loss of life could have been much worse." The January 6 Committee has since investigated the attack, and broadcast their findings to the nation. The committee recently announced that they would be holding a last-minute hearing on Tuesday "to present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony."
Of course.
Lots of different conspiracies will converge for this guy’s death! People are going to have a field day!
71 y/o men never die.
This gives the FIBBies another dead body they can use to go after more J6ers.
Yes they do, but when they do it's ALWAYS due to the Clintons. :)
Suspicious cat is - suspicious. That and my spidey sense is tingling.
Like I said elsewhere - feels like some deep state subversion spy sh:t going on.
First reports said he was shot outside his apt building. Could have been a robbery of course…
Yes, let add to the number of reported fake deaths that are a result of the demonkraps failure to secure the property on Jan 6th.
Trump’s fault! The committee will actually have the death it’s been lying about for a year and a half!
Mea culpa.
First reports could be complete BS as well.
Maybe when Pelosi goes to Hell, some patriotic Americans can return home from her Hanoi Hilton.
They do of course. But coincidentally the day before a political hot potato - independent events [?] but coincidental.
There has not yet been an official cause of death released to the public.
Again, this happens. But put together with the coincidence above... I'm suspicious.
Jan. 6 Panel Abruptly Sets Tuesday Hearing on ‘Recently Obtained Evidence’
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol on Monday abruptly scheduled a hearing for Tuesday afternoon to hear what the panel called “recently obtained evidence” and take witness testimony.
Then, a mere few hours later in the evening, Congresswoman Green puts out news of Stenger's 'suicide', along with the clip from C-SPAN of him whistleblowing that there were paid agitators on 1/6.
Wondering now... what will transpire at today's (1 PM) 1/6 hearing...
What is this "new evidence and testimony"?
YOU might be a paid INSTIGATOR, Gator.hmmmmm.
Jarryyd says “hordes”
You got me.
12 years and over 50,000 posts just for this moment…
F’ing clown.
P.S. All caps don’t make a point.
Whoever dropped him off right before he was shot is IN ON IT!!
Will blame the J6 crowd.
