Interesting. Capitol Police assessment knew before Jan. 6 that the target was Congress.

They knew that's where everyone was headed. They also had eyes on people with guns on the day of the protest.

So the big question, why weren't they better prepared? What happened to back up?

Update: Per Hutchinson, Trump didn't want the protesters to have to go through the magnetometers. He said, "They're not here to hurt me."

1. Leadership at the Capitol police should be fired and replaced with people who will uphold the oath.

2. Some of them were replaced already. The question is: was it the correct ones/enough?

The public is unlikely to be told the nitty gritty details for "security" reasons.
