I think we also have to consider if these Antifa cells were able to disguise themselves effectively as Trump supporters, if some or all of these Capitol Police officers were subject to recruitment also under a false flag. Could “Antifa” have persuaded them they would be involved in some sort of secret support group for the President? Additionally, there could very well have been Antifa dressed as Capitol Hill police, who moved barricades and funneled people into the Rotunda.
After watching the interview with Michael Yon and Japanese journalist Masako Ganaha, I realize we could be dealing with multiple layers of deception.
I use Antifa because I don’t know what else to name this group. However, one final thought - these same people could be persuading Democrat leadership that Trump is a fascist, etc. Yes, they are leftists, but is this group able to make them more radical than they would normally be?
It would appear the bottom line is to cause CHAOS by DECEPTION.
If any police, Capitol or otherwise, allowed themselves to be “recruited” by any faction of the crowd then they need to be out of law enforcement permanently. Especially if they were Capitol Police.
I don’t believe they decided to stand down or assist on their own either.
