Personally, I hold the view that the above sentiment expressed by the poster 'easyt65'...and likely held by many uber partisan supporters.....is silly, nonsensical, and poorly thought-thru. It makes no sense.
It is tiresome conspiracy-drivel.
Other than that, easyt65, is OK with my avatar.

The two above posts, by BlindBoo, and 'there4', offer us all succinct descriptions of what is at stake, and why we need a full exposition. Thank you both.

Indeed, those knuckleheaded ne'er-do-wells who attacked the Capitol and the police....were, to use a stage term, merely the deus ex machina to effect the sudden 'crisis' as cover for enacting martial law so as to buy time to overthrow the results of the election.
They were dupes. Used and then thrown under the bus by the users.
The 'users' need be explained and exposed.
IMHO
What insurrection is perpetrated by unarmed citizens and involves the Capitol Police holding the Capitol doors wide open for people to enter?
Democrats - those who perpetrated criminal failed Impeachments based admittedly on zero crime,zero evidence, and zero witnesses, who were caught criminally manufacturing false evidence against the President of the US IOT remove him from office (THERE is your insurrection / coup attempt) - have openly declared they are unhappy because more TRUMP-connected aides / people have not been subpoenaed and punished.
If you remember, this hearing us supposed to be about what happened to cause the 6 Jan trespassing of the Capitol & NOT 'Trump Impeachment 3.0'.
To that end, it has been proven by transcript that Trump did not call for violence, encouraged people to WALK PEACEFULLY TO the Capitol to support their politicians and let their voices be heard. He encouraged people to remain PEACEFUL, obey the laws, and listen to the Capitol Police.
The FBI has stayed they warned the DC Mayor, Pelosi, the Capitol Police Chief, and the 2 Sergeants-At-Arms I'm advance of potential large crowds and violence.
WHAT DID THEY DO WITH THAT INFORMATION?
- This committee refuses to investigate this, refuses to subpoena these people to answer this question.
The FBI said it advised the National Guard be called out and used to protect the Capitol.
The former Chief of the Capitol Police has publicly declared he requested National Guard troop deployment for support 6 TIMES before and during the 6 Jan event and was denied or his request was delayed every time.
Reports state Pelosi, the DC Mayor, & both Sergeants-at-Arms discussed it and rejected the idea because they did not like the 'OTICS' of having the NG protecting the Capitol.
(I created a aeperate thread that has links and quotes showing all of this - feel free to look it up.)
IF THEY HAD CALLED O. THE NATION GUARD TO BE IN PLACE ON 6 JAN THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY PTOTEST ON CAPITOL GROUNDS, NO CAPITOL BREACH, & NO BS '6 JAN COMMITTEE GOING AFTER TRUMP AND HIS AIDES / ASSOCIATES.
The DC Mayor, former Capitol Police Chief, Nancy Pelosi,abd the 2 Sergeants-at-Arms who had been there for decades were a identified as key players in the decision-making process at the start - briefed by the FBI and making the decision to reject both the advice to use the National Guard and and the former Capitol Police Chief's 6 (SIX) requests for National Guard help.
So if you are running a legitimate investigative committee whose purpose is to find out what went wrong and ensure what went wrong never happens again.
Pelosi and the Democrats proved, however, this is not a legitimate investigative committee and that they don't give a damn about making sure it never happens again. The last thing they want to come to light is who was responsible for the 6 Jan event.
They proved this by not having any of these people, including Pelosi herself, testify before the committee, by having 2 TDS - suffering Trump-hating RINOs as the only Republicans on the committee who would ask the relevant questions, and by falsely reporting what Trump said that day.
The 2 Sergeants-at-Arms both quit after 6 Jan.
- WHY?
- What responsibilities did they have in defending the Capitol?
- What part did they play in the division NOT to call on the Natl Guard?
- Did they quit in their own or were they forced to be the 'fall guys'?
