Top security officials in Congress are facing swift fallout over the embarrassing and deadly security breach of the Capitol by President Donald Trump’s supporters.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said he will fire Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Mike Stenger when Democrats take the majority later this month after the pro-Trump riots in the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon.

“If Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Stenger hasn't vacated the position by then, I will fire him as soon as Democrats have a majority in the Senate," Schumer said in a statement to POLITICO.

Stenger and House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving are both under pressure to step down after the deadly and embarrassing breach of security.

5. A deep dive into their internet history should be in order

Either one or both of them along with several other high ranking members of the capitol PD must have been involved for this to go down.

There will be a digital or money trail, if not both.

6. 100x

Yup, there must be a reason why so many things break Donald's way. Greasing the skids is quite a possibility.

So was that what all the juggling of agency heads, Pentagon officials, DHS, and all that was about this past year? Because several agencies have enforcement powers and therefore personnel. The Portland riots were stemmed if you recall when police, some of them without badges, were flown in under DHS I think it was. And a few days later news organizations reported who they were and where they were from.
