A new Senate report reveals that Capitol insurrection conspirators learned well from Trump: The best way for white conservatives to conceal their crimes is hide in plain sight.

On Tuesday morning, a new Senate report revealed even more of what is increasingly obvious: The January 6 Capitol insurrection was both surprisingly predictable and yet widely ignored by the people who had the power to stop it.
"The U.S. Capitol Police had specific intelligence that supporters of President Donald Trump planned to mount an armed invasion of the Capitol at least two weeks before the Jan. 6 riot," the Washington Post reports, "but a series of omissions and miscommunications kept that information from reaching front-line officers targeted by the violence."
The report itself is incredibly bureaucratic and, being bipartisan, overly delicate with the fragile feelings of Republicans who continue to support Trump despite his overt incitement of the insurrection. But the most important and remarkable aspect of the report is how it lays out that Capitol intelligence officials downplayed the threat of violence, even though, to quote the report author Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., "The attack was, quite frankly, planned in plain sight."
Intelligence officers had a huge amount of information about a planned attack because the insurrectionists were openly talking about it online and in great detail. But despite this, intelligence officials deemed the likelihood of an attack as "remote" and "improbable," choosing instead to ignore right-wing militia types openly sharing maps and strategies for storming the building. There are a lot of theories as to why Capitol intelligence simply didn't take the insurrectionists seriously, but it really may be as simple as this: Hiding in plain sight works — at least when it comes to white conservatives with terroristic inclinations.

But of course, we don't know that for sure right? Cuz this is just on the internet, therefore can't possibly have any bearing on reality or the facts in evidence, according to some very prolific profiles here. Only if the AG tells us it's true. 
Don't know about you but I'm ready for some goddamned motherfucking JUSTICE for fuck's sake...
... his supporters love it! They idolize Crooked Donald.... trade in model wives, 17-year-olds as sex objects, pay no taxes, bed the porn star, grab them by the p----, play golf, cozy up to dictators, abortion controlled by rich men, no black Presidents, no female Presidents, white fake Christian rules, break laws you don't like, punish people you don't like... etc... etc... they LOVE all that!
