Showing Original Post only (View all)Is there a consensus on why the militias and white supremacists came to the Capitol on January 6th? [View all]
Did they get an email?
Who was it from?
Did they then organize in numbers to come to the Capitol?
Did they plan violence beforehand?
Did they bring weapons with them?
Were they just "following orders"?
Were they given "legitimacy" by the former president?
I think it would be good information to have about why they decided to come to Washington on January 6th?
Or do we already know?

There is no evidence that the people at the Willard discussed anything other than the rally.

Not only across the River. Some drove them into town and left them in their cars.
