26. It was clear yesterday that someone called off the kind of security that would normally be there.

It was plain as day that someone set up the Capitol for the attack to succeed. Nothing like enough police and others were on site given the kinds of threats and warnings that have been circulating in official DC. Which is not to mention that had there been similar warnings related to a BLM protest you'd have seen hundreds of National guard, helicopters, drones and militarized police vehicles surrounding the Capitol building.

It really helps if you're a white nationalist and have the president clearing the way for you to attack the US Congress in session. This was the wet dream of proud boy-boogaloo insurectionists, and Magats to invade and unseat Federal Government and the pet project of Donny Putin-Licker along with his select staff of enablers.
