“THE NATIONAL SECURITY APPARATUS IS A BLACK HOLE RIGHT NOW”:
AS LAW ENFORCEMENT CLAMS UP, JOURNALISTS ARE FILLING THE CAPITOL-SIEGE INFO VACUUM
“there’s almost silence” from government agencies.
federal law enforcement agencies tasked with investigating the historic security breach have failed to adequately brief the press.
“We’ve yet to get much in the way of substance out of the FBI or DHS, and
a lot of opacity remains about what exactly happened with the D.C. National Guard.”
Neither “FBI Director [Christopher] Wray nor David Bowdich, the deputy director in charge of operations at the bureau, has held a news conference where reporters could ask questions.
Neither has Jeffrey A. Rosen, the acting attorney general.
Neither has John Demers of DOJ National Security Division....
if the lack of official information was as stunning as it seems.
“This is an extraordinary moment in American history and a terrifying one,” he said.
“The U.S. Capitol was overrun.
They were more than happy over the summer to come out and talk about rioting” during the Black Lives Matter protests,
“but here we have an attack on the nation’s capital and there’s almost silence.
“we haven’t even had a briefing from federal law enforcement explaining what the is going on and
how they’re going to protect this country from the planned armed marches against state capitols and D.C. between the 17th & 20th.”
McCall Calhoun, a Georgialawyer
who was among the first to get through the doors.
“but it was what this group of people did; they did it for the love of America.”
“What’s amazing about this,” ... “was that the media were hunted away from the area around the Capitol, and yet
the protesters do ented it from every different angle, incriminating themselves.”
Richard Barnett, the Arkansas man who was photographed with his feet kicked up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk,
Barnett held up a piece of mail he had pilfered from the Speaker’s office and
allowed Rosenberg to take his picture, which the Times then published.
“I wrote her a nasty note,” Barnett bragged.
He was arrested two days later.

no briefings about anything by anybody. the official silence is more or less deafening.
this Georgia cracker was not exaggerating
"He was hard to reach, and you know why? Because it was live TV," one Trump advisor told the paper.
"If it's TiVo, he just hits pause and takes the calls. If it's live TV, he watches it, and he was just watching it all unfold."
the redneck elegy theme is overplayed
think about who all can afford insurrection tourism during a pandemic, and you're about half way there
Republicans are such bags
Trump Blamed ‘Antifa’ For Capitol Insurrection He Incited On Call With McCarthy
sought to blame “antifa” for a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week during a call with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),
House Minority Leader, however, after spending months enabling the President’s lies which provoked the recent Capitol siege that left five people dead, finally pushed back.
“It’s not Antifa, it’s MAGA,” McCarthy reportedly told Trump
President Trump continued to rant on his Monday call with McCarthy about election fraud,
“Stop it. It’s over. The election is over,” McCarthy reportedly told Trump
McCarthy had also made repeated efforts to reach the President and
pleaded with Jared Kushner, one of the president’s senior advisers,
to convince Trump to issue a statement demanding that supporters leave the Capitol.
the president’s own awe and amazement as he watched his followers raid the Capitol in his name.
One adviser described to the Post a mesmerized Trump “just watching it all unfold,” live on television.
Trump had been reluctant to call off the insurrection that he incited.
Trump had not wanted to include the final instruction that urged his supporters to “stay peaceful,”
after Trump reviewed press coverage of a video message he released on Thursday calling for “healing and reconciliation,”
President expressed regret for posting the reconciliatory message, suggesting it made him look weak.

It did make him look weak, one person and four deplorables got killed and he's practically thanking them for it.
House Democrats Briefed On 3 Terrifying Plots To Overthrow Government
One plot includes surrounding the Capitol and
murdering Democrats
to allow Republicans to take control of the government.
The members of Congress whom HuffPost spoke to Monday night were extremely concerned by the call.
“It was pretty overwhelming,”
the Capitol Police and the National Guard were preparing for potentially tens of thousands of armed protesters coming to Washington and were establishing rules of engagement for warfare.
In general, the military and police don’t plan to shoot anyone until one of the rioters fires, but there could be exceptions.
The plan to surround the Capitol includes assassinating Democrats as well as Republicans who didn’t support Trump’s effort to overturn the election ― and allowing other Republicans to enter the building and control government.
the need to put every member of Congress through a metal detector before the inauguration.
A member on the call told HuffPost that there was an “eyes-wide-open realization” that Capitol Police needed to take
precautions against “all these members who were in league with the insurrectionists who love to carry their guns.”
“You can’t just let them bypass security and walk right up to [Joe] Biden and [Kamala] Harris at inauguration,”

Every time Trump gets in front on a mic. It never goes well for him.
He just doubled down on his beautiful speech. Did nothing wrong, nothing.
This should be interesting.
It's a nice, peaceful, perfect transition of power, it would be a shame if anything were suddenly to happen to it.
"You called the cops, why are you breaking up this family, ?"
that the impeachment is a witch hunt
It's funny how rightwingers in the media are using but 74 million people voted for Trump, dont make them angrier or they will do it again.
Good. Let them do it again. Only this time, authorize police and the military to mow them down from 100 yards.
Lies can only be maintained by violence
