It appears to most of us I think that the assault on the capital was coordinated with

[doc03]

the Whitehouse and other government agencies. People were speculating on why Trump fired the Sec of Def and others in the DOD.
I think now we know Trump put his lackeys in their place to let it happen. I know there are people here that have far more knowledge of the government than I do. So I have some questions I hope can be answered.

1. If they manage to impeach Trump does his pardons still stand?
2. If it is proved that the coup was orchestrated through the Whitehouse and other departments can the people
involved including Trump be prosecuted for the coup even though Trump has pardoned them and maybe himself?
3. Didn't that one crazy ass Trump lawyer say Pence needs to be executed, why isn't he behind bars?
4. Rudy said there will be combat, why isn't he behind bars?
5. Why hasn't Flynn been arrested by the military?


It is obvious some of the people that broke in were highly trained X-military, police or maybe Blackwater. They had to have
help inside the government to carry this out. I think once Trump is out of office there will be whistle blowers
come forward, there has to be some patriots still left inside those agencies.

1. Whistleblowers? The fbi is going to find out everything

The time for whistleblowing has passed. Patriots would blow BEFORE the coup.

[doc03]

4. That is a scary thought that patriots would blow BEFORE the coup. In other words he

has replaced everyone with his lackeys. I hope the truth will come out but I am worried that the truth may be covered up
for the good of the country. I hope Biden does whatever he can and doesn't try to make nice with the other side..

[soothsayer]

7. I think they're going to be found out

I really really really hope they are all caught

[Amaryllis]

17. Biden will let Garland handle it and he will do a great job.

[Karadeniz]

2. Very interesting!!! I think we're going to have to wait...wish it weren't so...for the new DoJ to do

Something about Wood, Giuliani, and everyone else... Meadows... who was a party to overturning the election, a coup.

[beachbumbob]

3. it not a matter of "thinking"

the Capital was left defenseless and Capital Police understaffed on PURPOSE, coordinated effort by Capital Police to aid the trump mob. The conspiracy runs deep and how much we find out depends on how much guts out leaders have.

In 25 yrs of begging by the FBI to have domestic white supremist groups AND white militias declared terrorist organizations was IGNORE by congress, republicans and democrats alike, WHY>>>>>> these are ALL WHITE PEOPLE


we finally see our people given the added tools to take out the radical right once and for all

[stillcool]

5. I do not understand why anyone would

feel any sense of security any time soon. Nothing has changed. Nothing.

[Irish_Dem]

8. I think it is still quite dangerous. A lot of these people are well armed, well paid

and have the weapons and training to do great harm.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Yes he planned all of this ahead of time. Everything was put into place.

It is a miracle more people were not killed.

[bdamomma]

9. but he's still

killing people with COVID he is BURNING THE COUNTRY DOWN.

Who is at the helm of this all???? Pence, a bootlicker??

[Irish_Dem]

10. No one is taking care of Americans. Trump has been plotting insurrection.

Pence just boot licks.

[doc03]

12. Here in Ohio I am surrounded by Trump backers. Since the election they have absolutely convinced Trump

will stay in office. They say "You will see" Biden will never be president. I hope they change the inauguration to
and indoor ceremony, I fear they will try and assassinate him. I fear they have the know how to do it.

[Irish_Dem]

14. Biden needs to have very tight security.

Trump's goons are still at large.

[alwaysinasnit]

11. A nitpicker here. 45 hasn't the qualities, knowledge, or capabilities to envision or execute these

moves. Obviously he has people around him manipulating him into approving these actions. Those are the truly dangerous people; 45 is just a (somewhat) useful tool.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Absolutely. In no way could he pull this off by himself.

He had no idea about the counting of votes in congress, or Pence's role, someone had to tell him and coach him. He did not bankroll the goons, he did not organize any of it.

I don't think it is nitpicking. I think it is crucial to know who helped him in this insurrection.

It was a mob hit and he had help.

[alwaysinasnit]

19. "I think it is crucial to know who helped him in this insurrection."

I couldn't agree more.

[rsdsharp]

13. 1. Yes

2. No for the others. Probably yes for a self pardon.

3. Damned if I know.

4. See number 3.

5. Why would the military arrest Flynn?

[rzemanfl]

15. There's one thing here I always read. n/t

[GoneOffShore]

16. Here's a piece interviewing Malcom Nance about the attempted coup.

And another piece from Business Insider talking to a French counter-terrorism expert who has trained with Americans -

Both worrying.
