DUers what was the date of the memo from the ten Defense Secretaries

[DonaldsRump]

11. It was 100% clear on January 6 that this never should have happened

I remember my family calling me to watch CNN while this was going on. I was working from home and didn't come, think this is just an "ordinary" protest near the most heavily defended building on earth. I just never thought the Capitol could be invaded like that. Clearly, there is totally insufficient security for an event that I suspect even my dog knew could quickly turn violent.

Chris Miller's January 4 order to the DC National Guard to basically stand down is one piece of the puzzle. That Trump wasn't evacuated from the White House (like Cheney was on 9/11) is another part of the puzzle. That Trump watched the carnage on TV and THEN told the seditious mob "we love you" is another piece. There are many pieces of the puzzle.Trump and the Rethugs are vicious. However, they're not very smart. I suspect there is a paper, electronic, and witness trail many miles wide, long, and deep.

I greatly look forward to the Senate impeachment trial. By contrast, the Rethugs are dreading it. And that makes me VERY happy, as they will pay a price.
