In the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Former Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving recalled to House Admin how previous discussions with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her office factored in to his “blender of decision making,” according to three sources with direct knowledge of Irving’s talk with House Admin.
Pelosi’s office had previously impressed upon Irving that the National Guard was to remain off Capitol Grounds, Irving allegedly told House Admin. The discussions, which centered around “optics,” allegedly occurred in the months prior to the Jan. 6 riot, during a time when deployment of federal resources for civil unrest was unpopular with Democrats and many members of Congress.
The three sources who confirmed the discussion to the Daily Caller did so under the condition of anonymity, citing the fear of putting a chill on further witnesses to how the security situation unfolded Jan. 6. The discussion, if accurate, raises questions as to what role Pelosi’s office had in the security failures that resulted in the resignations of both Irving and former Chief of Capitol Police Steven Sund. Pelosi’s Deputy Chief of Staff Drew Hammill did not deny the allegations in a statement to the Daily Caller.

Did Pelosi Plot the Capitol Riot?
why are the Pelosis, Sullivans, McConnells and their
ANTIFA, Ukranian, German, and CCP Armies allowed
to attack the CAPITOL and blame the innocent???
because it has always been allowed, Alex. Always.
“No accountability” should be the motto of DC.
What about the Capital guards who supposedly committed suicide in the days after the riot. Perhaps they got the Seth Rich treatment. They knew too much and were going to speak out.
I'd give 4 to 1 odds the FBI killed the guards. 2 to 1 odds the FBI orchestrated the Capital riot. Does that seem like a low thing to accuse the FBI of doing? They've earned their reputation.
I find these deaths extremely odd. Someone should run the numbers to determine the death rate, before and after the "riot", of the Capitol guard staff.
Stop hammering Pelosi. Drew Hammill says “Member” Davis knew about the danger in advance and did nothing about it. What a load of BS.
Nancy Pelosi’s vile behavior and evil is etched into her face like the lines on a windswept mountain..... I look forward to the moment when that gavel is taken from her hands and will be celebrating to see America set free from her poison.
The Democrats will self-destruct, eventually. I don’t know why we try to fight them so hard. That tends to make them stick together.
“Did Pelosi Plot the Capitol Riot?”
That question requires an obvious “YES”!
Pelosi and Harris are a couple of the most evil psychopaths on the planet. And now they want control over US nuclear codes! Biden is so senile he will probably give ‘em up, too.
Donald Rumsfeld enlightened us that “weakness is provocative”. He was correct.
Pelosi knew, or should have known, that a show of strength would cool the jets of would be rioters, and that a show of weakness (a few hundred Capital Police to protect a gigantic complex) would embolden protesters to attempt whatever they pleased. She got the exact optics she wanted.
I blame Pelosi and McConnell, not Trump, but was it not in Trump’s power to send National Guard troops to keep order at his big rally, whether Nancy Corruption wanted them or not? Why didn’t he make sure there was adequate security against Antifa?
The rally was destined to bring about the opposite result of what was advertised. It did help to open some eyes, tho. I was against it, and said so prior to the rally, but I’m too lazy to go find my post at the time. I commented about it to someone wanting to know who all were going.

So what deterred Trump from sending National Guard troops to keep order at his big rally on the Mall, whether Nancy Corruption approved on not? Simple: The Dems & Dem-media spent months pushing a narrative that Trump was going to use the military in a coup. Pushing that narrative does not prove that the Democrats PLANNED the 1-6-21 riot, but it adds to the circumstantial evidence. The Dems knew the election was going to be stolen, they anticipated unrest in reaction to that, and implemented a strategy for converting it into a crisis they could exploit. Non-communists have to smarten up.
Apologies for the double post. Checked and did not see the first one, so edited and tried again. The 2nd version has a few 2nd generation ideas.
The Jan. 6 incident merely demonstrated that the idiot deep state knew of the imminent riots and demonstrated complete disregard of all known intelligence pointing toward what was coming at them. Thus, the idiot deep state completely failed in developing any security to stop the Jan. 6 incident.
These clusterflocks by the deep state are well known, where the deep state clowns ignore all intelligence and any subsequent security that may be needed. The deep state clowns showed what idiots they are, starting in 1950 with the invasion by the Chinese into Korea that “surprised” everyone. We have 70 years of deep state failures etched in our history books to look at.
The idea that the Jan. 6 incident was some brilliant machiavellian plot by the deep state is laughable. Ocam’s Razor explains what happened: the deep state is nothing more than a pack of clowns seeking to enrich themselves at our expense. They are in it for the money and power and know nothing about interpreting intelligence reports or managing security to deal with events.
