1. "We don't have the assets.....we're not going to go to the capitol", said the SS.

Not that "there are insurrectionists at the capitol", not "those people are breaking the law and you can't help them", certainly not "we're not going to aid these people by chauffeuring you to them".

The Secret Service didn't have the ASSETS to contend with that situation.

My question? My point? If the SS had the assets, what exactly would they have done at the Capitol? Part the crowd for his entrance? Shove Capitol police out of his way? Would they have assisted his entrance to a building where he is not allowed without an invitation from congress? And congress, at that moment, was too busy to be inviting him over.

It seems to me that when Kevin Costner quit the service, the whole thing went to hell.

He wanted to be Caesar at the head of his army crossing the Rubicon.

4. Because

50 Republican Senators are protecting him and have been for 5+ years. AND two DINO's going along with them on every single vote.
They are all as guilty of corruption as Trump is, if not more so for all the scandalous acts they did, all on their own.........

Trump and all of them are flaunting that they are all walking around free, and continuing to rally their voters with tons of the same crap they have been spouting since the election...........All Republican candidates across the nation, at every level of government, who are "want to be's" are on the campaign trail spouting support of Trump and the Republican CABAL..........

And of course, you can't leave out the U.S.S.C. aiding and abetting every step of the way and laughing at the true majority of U.S. citizens all the way.........

5. He thought (probably rightly) that if he was there personally whipping them up enough -

They'd go so crazy that he could claim martial law & suspend the certification.
