Was there a conspiracy to overthrow the last election? [View all]

Or did the failed coup just happen sort of spontaneously?

Were there well-laid plans to invade the Capitol from four different entrances?

Why were David Bossie and Corey Lewandowski embedded in the Pentagon?

Were the bombs at the DNC and RNC HQs meant to be a diversion?

Were the National Guard withheld by plan or by incompetence?

Were there plans to kidnap or do physical harm to VP Pence and Speaker Nancy Pelosi?

Was there a plot to stop the Electoral Vote?

Were there guns stored outside of the Capitol that could be easily and quickly attained?

How many people were aware of the plot?

Was it just a spontaneous plot hatched over the Social Media or was it a planned conspiracy against the United States of America?
