- How is it possible that the Capitol Police were half-staffed on January 6?
- Why were the Capitol Police under-equipped?
- Why were some officers forced to face down a riot without helmets?
- Why were the Capitol Police never trained to handle a riot, even after the riots of 2020?
- Did Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi communicate with the House Sergeant-at-Arms on January 6 or in the days leading up to the riot?
- Why didn’t the Capitol Police’s intelligence unit raise the alarm about potential violence?
- Why did the FBI deploy commandos to Quantico on January 3, with shoot-to kill-authority, but fail to send USCP a single threat assessment or intelligence bulletin?
- Was Speaker Pelosi involved in the decision to delay National Guard assistance on January 6?
The same question must be answered regarding District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser because she and Pelosi together had the authority to bring in those thousands of National Guardsmen that Trump authorized two days prior. Those guardsmen would have barred entry to protestors seeking to penetrate the U.S. Capitol.
