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."
Re: “ cause of death released to the public.”
Why do I immediately think the death was not natural?
Sounds like the DNC might have had Hillary look into this.
Trump supporters claim another cop’s life.
Indeed it could--that's what happened to Seth Rich--wink, wink.
Arkancide?
MTG seems to be one of the very few non-corrupted members of Congress.
I could not agree more. Folks, something VERY weird is going on...
* this guy dies mysteriously.
* surprise J6 hearing about something.
* folks getting raided around the country - although many not arrested, just their coms getting confiscated.
* leaked audio linking #46 directly to the ChiComs via is son on a phone call (wonder who leaked that).
* meanwhile, more countries lining up to join BRICS (a lot more than are singing up for EU or NATO)
* And now, we’re openly threatening Supreme Court Justices?
Something seems strange. They are getting hap-hazard. Sloppy, if you will. It’s like they are paranoids and desperately looking for something.
Can’t put my finger on it...
anyone?
Today’s hearing will portray the man as having tragically died because 1/6.
Once the hearing is complete it will emerge that he died of a hangnail. Or s shotgun blast to the chest, plus hanging. One of the two. But the suggestions that 1/6 was the cause, having served their purpose, will fade away into the mists of time and disappear.
Yes, there is are no conspiracies tied to democrats. Hey, didn't someone connected to Clinton recently hang himself AND shoot himself in the chest with a shotgun?
Withholding the cause of death until they figure out how to blame Trump and real Republicans.
Men over 70 die. Some of them even die at times that are inconvenient for political parties. But I’m glad his death is providing you and other content for your theories. Carry on.
