The former Capitol Police chief forced to resign following Jan. 6 is set to release his side of the story in a new book warning nothing has been done to put the “agency into a better position” and that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) fault has remained unaddressed.
The day after the Capitol was breached and the narrative of a failed insurrection was being circulated, then-Capitol Police chief Steven Sund was singled out by the speaker for the breakdown in security with a public call for his resignation. Tuesday, nearly two years later, Sund’s account is slated for release in the book titled “Courage Under Fire” in which he recounts how his own preliminary requests for the National Guard to be put on standby were dismissed, seemingly to satisfy the whims of Pelosi.
“Almost two years after the events of Jan. 6, the department is not in a better place or on a readier footing,” The Washington Post reported Sund wrote after obtaining an advance copy of the book. “Few people in the department feel there is a visible plan to move the agency into a better position. Hundreds of officers have left the department since Jan. 6 and many feel it is only going to get worse.”
As has been repeatedly pointed out, there had been ample warnings identified by various intelligence agencies including the Capitol Police’s own unit that an attack of some kind could take place as the 2020 presidential election was being certified, but politics got in the way of acting on those details.
“The security and information-sharing policies and mandates put in place after September 11 failed miserably on January 6. We failed miserably to see the apparent warning signs and the danger, like a ‘gray rhino,’ charging right at us,” Sund wrote.

>>She’ll need a diversion. I know - dress up the hubby in her purple silks and have a tussle with a male prostitute.<<
Everyone will just shrug and say “another normal day at the pelosi’s.”
She needs to pay for the cause of all that are in jail for HER actions.
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW huh Nancy.
“She needs to pay for the cause of all that are in jail for HER actions.”
I agree, but it’s not just her that needs to pay.
Schumer, mcconnell, barr, garland, every member of the J6 committee, etc, should get gang raped by a horde of lawyers hired by the families of the political prisoners.
We’ll see how this turns out.
Agree the Marxist gang.
