Remember this ... from 6 January...?

This line of guys dressed in tactical gear going up the Capitol steps sure looked like an assault team to me. Hands on shoulders, moving purposefully thru the crowd...

Before this scene disappears down the memory hole, had anybody heard anything more about this?

Find them and there will be a treasure trove of information on who was in the stack.

... something like. "Police Line. Do not cross." Arrest every one of them. Nice of 'em to use their
phones so their exact locations are known and can be used in court. Bunch of old white racist people
who were lied to by Trump that he really won the election and they had to "stop the steal."


BTW this was in a large part a "Fox News Riot" because 1 day before the violence on 1/6/21
the morning blond was still pushing the "a lot of people still have questions about the election"
lie.

and then pictures throughout the day of them gathering outside, just before the breach that showed their faces, I sent all of it to the FBI as I am sure others did. The video was altered soon after, removing a lot of it from about an hour or more down to 20 minutes. I am not sure if the personal responsible did that or the FBI.
