So the FBI sent the threat assessment the **EVENING** of Jan 5th !!

So the FBI sent the threat assessment the **EVENING** of Jan 5th and never was pushed up to decision makers.

DHS didn't send out an assessment either ...

Yeah,

The FBI & DHS needs to be cleaned out ... Something ain't right.

No doubt

EDIT: kGOP questions are leading away from threat assessment and they interrupt every time they Cap Lead point to lack of justification for extra forces due to lack of threat assessment.

Looks like they all did what they could to increase troops inside of their authority ...

The kGOP pols know something aint right and most likely don't want to point to their lord, savior and whore for Putin "Benedict" Donald Trump.

EDIT: Portman trying to make the case that CP didn't have training for full on 1000 person force attack ... NO ONE WOULD !!!

MAGA Minions are trying their best to through cap police under the bus

That is the Trump neofascists goal to infiltrate government. They have already done it in large swaths of law enforcement and in the lower echelons of the military.

... down order on Monday 1/4/21 to the D.C. National Guard.

This memorandum responds directly to your January 4, 2021 memorandum regarding the District of Columbia request for District of Columbia National Guard (DCNG) support in response to planned demonstrations from January 5-6, 2021. You are authorized to approve the requested support, subject to my guidance below and subject to consultation with the Attorney General, as required by Executive Order 11485.

Without my subsequent, personal authorization, the DCNG is not authorized the following:

* To be issued weapons, ammunition, bayonets, batons, riot control agents or ballistic protection equipment such as helmets and body armor.

* To interact physically with protesters, except when necessary in self-defense or defense of others.

* Prohibited from sharing “equipment with law enforcement agencies” or seeking support from any non-DC National Guard units.

* Forbidden from conducting “searches, seizures, arrests, or other similar direct law enforcement activity.”

* Forbidden from using “Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance assets” or to conduct “Incident, Awareness and Assessment activities.”

* No helicopters or “any other air assets.”

*****************

Trump wanted even more violence, bloodshed, and death so he could declare martial law to
stay in power. (my guess )
