How many of the GOP House and Senate knew this was going to happen? How many of the challengers?

How many of the "freedom caucus" and the other extremist GOP had prior knowledge of something going down on the day? How many collaborated to help in it happening?

Maybe they didn't have all the details but they must have known about some of the intended results. The confidence they showed when they continued to challenge the count showed that IMO. They were expecting something to help tilt the table towards the racist insurrection they now own.

If the wife of a Supreme Court Justice was in on the deal there had to be more insiders who were betting they could win the day or at least establish the new "Lost Cause" with a big propaganda victory.

Putin's, or should I say the FSB (formerly KGB) networks are like that. They depend on insiders with access and privileges to defend.

5. I keep wondering how the FBI was cut out of the loop on this? They had to know the

serious threats inside the operation were expecting to do real damage not just burn a few banners. Where was the FBI in the lead up to the event? They and the Secret Service would have been monitoring this for protecting his Orangeness.

6. I'd like to know what the SPLC and others who track the racists have to say.

Both about what they were tracking and who they told about it. It seems several foreign intelligence services had some insights into the build up. I can't believe they said nothing nor that the congressional Intel commitees did not hear something about it.
