Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi shoulders much of the blame for the security breakdown at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a preliminary report from Republican investigators Reps. Jim Banks and Rodney Davis determined.
The Capitol Police (USCP) were half-staffed on Jan. 6, Pelosi’s House Sergeant at Arms denied multiple requests for National Guard assistance from the Pentagon and the USCP Chief in the days leading up to Jan. 6, officers were poorly equipped and had insufficient riot shields and helmets, and they were never trained to handle a riot even after the riots of 2020, the investigation shows, according to Banks.
The Republicans’ full report is not slated to be released for a few weeks but Banks and Davis said the hyperpartisan Jan. 6 Committee’s attempt to present a “slanted viewpoint as if it were impartial fact” prompted them to release their findings that “will help Americans understand the extent of the Committee’s misrepresentations and omissions.”
“The Committee has lied and made numerous unsupported and disputed claims that have been thoughtlessly parroted by their media and ‘fact-checking’ allies,” said Banks and Davis.
Despite the J6 Committee’s attempts to blame the Capitol riot on former President Donald Trump and election integrity supporters, the GOP members found that Pelosi, who is responsible for Capitol security according to House rules and has led the Democrat majority for years, repeatedly failed to implement necessary improvements to the Capitol’s security system.
“This inaction left the Capitol unnecessarily vulnerable,” Banks and Davis noted.

I’m hoping Davis loses his primary.
Of course she let it happen. The optics were too good. My hope is that the truth of what happened does her in.
The whole thing was a setup, and yes she does get a big portion of the blame for this whole fiasco.
Did they find out who ordered the doors opened?
Who removed the restricted area signs?
Why did officers wave people in?
Why are they prosecuting non-violent people give the above?
you forgot the most important questions
Why did the cop shoot the unarmed woman?
Why wasn’t he charged?
Come on, man! That beggars disbelief. Cities all over the USA were in flame with non-stop antifa / BLM riots in 2020 and it never occurred to the USCP to just MAYBE train their cops on how to handle a riot? What were they trained on? Directing Sunday School picnics to the nearest park?
That ridiculous assertion is right up there with J6 was an insurrection, Trump colluded with Russia, Biden won fair and square, the earth is burning up, and "green" energy will be affordable and reliable.
Pelosi negilgent security measures were, in my personal view, in coordination with the deep state embeds in the groups that breached the security in the capital building, to intentionally produce that which she now seeks to charge Trump as responsible for.
I'd venture that fingering Pelosi will bring this to a climax, and it's all over but the shouting...
Were they equipped to keep the doors closed?
😂😂😂😂😂. Indictment soon.
Indicted by whom?
Hope they are ready for tomorrow at the Supreme Court building. Might get really ugly. VA. will be protecting those in their state. Not sure of other states.
Because he could?
Why wasn’t he charged?
"our" FBI declined to pursue the incident because of a lack of evidence.
It seems Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd never filed an incident report, so there was no evidence...
They’ll be reading excerpts from this at the next big DNC donor party and raking in the dough.
“I’d venture that fingering Pelosi will bring this to a climax, and it’s all over but the shouting...”
HEY! Sometimes words hurt...and sometimes they make you want to throw up...
fingering...Pelosi...climax...all over but the shouting...
(be right back, gotta hurl...)
ew.
Mare-ick “judee” garland? Our in the ball ag.
Is she going to rip up the report on TV?
Yep, and I'm sure her decision to allow this was not via email or even phone. This is what should be part of the J-6 investigation. The fact that it is ignored tells anyone with a brain what is going on here. Her handpicked people, no actual investigation into her tole, a cover-up bigger than Watergate.
