2. From CNN link: public hearings start next week. Here we go.

Additionally, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Senate Rules committees are conducting a joint investigation with plans to hold their first public hearing next week on the security failures that left five people dead, more than 140 officers injured, and raised questions about whether the trauma of the day contributed to two officer suicides.

The committees have invited Metropolitan Police acting Chief Robert Contee, former House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving, former Senate Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger, and former United States Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund to testify. Sources tell CNN both Contee and Sund plan to testify. Sund's testimony could mark a break from a weeks-long silence about the dismal failure of his department and subsequent resignation from his post.

It's unclear whether Irving or Stenger will appear on Capitol Hill Tuesday, but if they do, their testimonies could be monumental. According to a letter from Sund to congressional leadership, Sund asked his supervisors, Irving and Stenger, to send the National Guard to the Capitol in the days before the riot. Sund accused Irving of denying the request over concerns congressional leaders wouldn't like the "optics" of armed military members patrolling the Capitol.

In the letter, Sund said Stenger told him to ensure the Guard was in a "forward leaning" position prior to the assault.

3. Have FBI agents interviewed Secret Service members who might have evidence of the time line

and content of communications between the White House SS team, Secret Service central command and the Team assigned to VP Mike Pence?

4. They had better call in acting secretary of defense Christopher Miller to testify about his letter

telling the DC National Guard to stand down on January 6. That letter is just so damning. First Trump installs this toady and then said toady issues that letter?!
