Democrat leaders who had condemned crackdowns on the violent Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 were too worried about “optics” to appropriately prepare for the massive protests at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to a lengthy new report about the security failures on that day. GOP lawmakers, who were prevented from collaborating on preparations for the joint session of Congress, found Capitol Police were left untrained to handle mass demonstrations while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was personally involved in security decisions that left the complex vulnerable to unrest.
The more than 140-page report, completed by an independent probe of GOP lawmakers who were barred access to material from Pelosi’s Select Committee on Jan. 6, illustrated a Capitol police force left understaffed, ill-equipped, and unprepared to confront the horde of demonstrators who descended on the congressional campus.
“Democrats and the Jan. 6 Committee used the Capitol Police as a political prop, then did nothing when USCP officers were harassed for telling the truth. They should be ashamed,” Indiana Rep. Jim Banks told The Federalist. Banks led the GOP investigation after Speaker Pelosi barred him from his appointment as ranking member of the select committee.
House Republicans documented how Pelosi’s office closely coordinated with senior security staff before the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress, where lawmakers would ceremonially certify the results of the 2020 election. While large-scale political events such as presidential inaugurations and state of the union addresses are designated as “National Special Security Events” by the nation’s top security brass, enhanced measures for public safety were absent on Jan. 6.

If a Democrat is caught red handed and the MSM ignores it did they really get caught?
MSM: Nothing to see here, move along.
Sounds like a God reason to audit her tax returns
Good
There is absolutely nothing preventing the Republicans from forming a committee to investigate failures in the planning for January 6 — the stuff expressly excluded by the last Committee — and calling Pelosi herself as a witness.
I’ve yet to see a clip of Nanzi bonking a JSixer on the noggin’ with her industrial sized gavel. She ran and let someone pee on her laptop.
You’re absolutely right. They wanted this chaos so there would not be any discussions or investigations of the fraudulent elections. They had over 100 concerns that were to be raised at this session that Pence were supposed to oversee. The whole thing was planned ahead of time so they did not have to do that. I believe Pence McConnell Pelosi all those bastards were behind this.
They keep saying, “January 6th should never have happened.” The fact is, they do not even know what it was in the first place.
There is a saying that when government fears the people, we have liberty. Given our current situation, I beg to differ. DC cowers in fear while leveling tyranny.
“..I believe Pence McConnell Pelosi all those bastards were behind this....”
You’re not alone. There are millions of us that think the same way.
The report calls these security “failures” when they aren’t failures at all, it whole thing worked the way they wanted it to work. They got the riot that Pelosi, McConnell, FBI, etc., planned, and then they used it to tar Trump and his voters as “insurrectionists”.
Some idiots will actually watch it.
Tucker is an actor.
Pelosi’s Culpability In Jan. 6 Riot is going to hang around her neck until she dies the facts can’t be altered she owns the entire problem.
Never saw a democrat that didn’t cause them.
She refuses to release the 40,000 hours worth of video including how the people were allowed in as the doors were locked and capital police let them in.
She also is covering up the 2 murders by the Capital police.
Nobody is “covering” this story. Fugitaboutit.
MSM will never report this.
