[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a middle class nobody, been working in DC for about 30 years.  I have - in writing - texts with my family that I was worried about what was going to happen downtown on 1/6.  If a dummy like me knew it, Nancy Pelosi etc. should have known it.

I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist but, how did an idiot like me express fears of pretty much this exact scenario and no official law enforcement body was prepared?

Police knew, too.  FBI had numerous tips, as did many other agencies.  But, they failed to prepare, and failed to act.  The question is why?  Are they really that incompetent?  And if so, they should be investigated, and incompetent individuals removed.  Or, were they secretly hoping it would succeed?

And, they knew at the Pentagon, too.  But rather than defending the Capitol, Pentagon sent troops to guard military facilities and military officials' homes while REFUSING to send help to defend the Capitol.

Why?  Again, we need an investigation, and we need answers.[/quote]

Part of the answer is very simple: legislative branch and executive branch. There are strict rules and protocols on information sharing between the two branches of government. I also suspect that the political appointees would have suppressed the information for Trump. I also believe there are members of LE who fully supported the insurrection.[/quote]

On January 5 military aircraft flew over our house (east coast but not in the DC area), and I commented to my husband that maybe they were preparing for potential problems.  So there's zero chance that the agencies that exist for these purposes had no idea of the possibilities.[/quote]

J6 Committee and others have shown that there were NUMEROUS credible tips and warnings sent in to a whole host of agencies, which at best were incompetently ignored, or at worst, deliberately suppressed.   And to this day, we STILL have seen no genuine accountability or reckoning with any of those involved.  And now the House Republicans have shuttered the J6 Committee before they could move any further.  I think the Senate and DoJ need to pick all of this up.[/quote]
