The federal government’s auditor has condemned the Department of Homeland Security’s hands-off approach to the Jan. 6 pro-Trump riot at the Capitol, suggesting it should have predicted the violence and beefed up security.
In the first of several Jan. 6 reports, the Government Accountability Office today charged that the department created in response to the 9/11 attacks missed social media signs of possible violence and didn’t adapt fast enough.
Instead of action, the report, titled, "Capitol Attack: Special Event Designations Could Have Been Requested for January 6, 2021, but Not All DHS Guidance is Clear," portrayed a confusing and excuse-filled system in the federal and local government’s security planning.
The bottom line: There was likely enough evidence to have either the Secret Service take charge of the Jan. 6 Capitol election certification as it does for national political conventions or DHS take the lead in coordinating security as it does for the Kentucky Derby.

BS.
They wanted Antifa false-flags and they only way they could get them is to stand down.
Can’t adapt to the velvet rope walkers and selfies...
The Jan 6 “siege” meme is total BS.
The real threat to America is Antifa/BLM

It wasn’t a bug, it was a feature.
Obvious CYA blame shifting to Trump DHS from Democrat controlled House.
“...DHS take the lead in coordinating security as it does for the Kentucky Derby....”
I have never heard of that, nor do I understand how they have authority to do so.
World’s only insurrection that was put down by a velvet rope line.
not going to work, tho - Republicans are elephants with long memories
This guy asked 6 times: The former chief of U.S. Capitol Police says security officials at the House and Senate rebuffed his early requests to call in the National Guard

Prior to Wednesday, Capitol Police said it did not need military support
No other requests came in from the city and Capitol Police turned down offers for more help. As late as Monday, the Department of Defense offered more soldiers from the DC National Guard to support law enforcement. The answer never changed: Capitol Police did not need more assistance. A timeline of events provided by the Office of the Secretary of Defense indicates that Bowser sent a letter to the acting secretary of defense and the secretary of the army confirming there was no additional need

Any time the word “siege” is brought up regarding 1/6, point out that sieges involve weapons, and could the person using the term point out to the use of weapons? Surely someone has been charged with same, if weapons were used, right? Right?
The whole thing has been incredibly overblown, with the video available kept hidden because it would show how relatively calm most of the event was.
House of Cards - perhaps 20k blm & antifa getting away with what they can reach.
maybe 20k deep staters. 40k ruling over 300 million, fraudulently.
40 million greedy socialists. 100 million toothless do-gooder liberals who think
people can’t fend for themselves.
“The real threat to America is Antifa/BLM”
The real threat to America is the Democrat Party which set the January 6 charade up and laced it with fakes who initiated violence then ran to get away and place blame on Republicans.
This needs to come to light and the Cesspool Party needs to “be disappeared” as their friends in China might say.
More cover of the setup. The lack of security was deliberate.
Have any states rescued their citizens from this illegal Federal Government?
Apparently, Trump was the only one in favor of Federalism.
I’ve never heard of being locked up in solitary for over 6 months without bail, without trial - for trespassing.
Pelosi also refused extra help....then held the NG troops for MONTHS in cold parking garages, sleeping on concrete floors.
Letting it happen on purpose LIHOP.
“Pro-Trump riot.”
Who writes this crap?!
Our very own version of Pravda.
It was an anti-Trump riot disguised by the FBI as a pro-Trump riot.
