How could it be called an insurrection

[EatTheRich]

Okay then, if she had no authority, the Sgt of Arms would have known and expected her to forward the request up the chain-of command, did she? Of course we don't know. Maybe she waited till things got underway which would explain the two hour delay.

But no, it turns out though that somehow the request for help made it's way to the DC National Guard Commander

THE DC National Guard Commander says the Pentagon took away authority to send in a quick reaction force to respond to Capitol riots.

The commander of the DC National Guard told The Washington Post that the Pentagon restricted his ability to send in a quick reaction force to respond to the Capitol riots. Instead, he had to get approval from high er-up the chain of command.

How high would that be ? The Oval Office guy is the last link in that chain. That's why he's called the Commander-in-Chief.

Also, I notice you had nothing to say about the FBI missing the chance to avoid the attack.

Sure sounds like people in high places didn't want a ready made crisis on a plate going to waste. Maybe cancel Donald Trump for good after four years of trying and failing?

Trump called the National Guard and FBI off because he didn't want them interfering with the putsch attempt.

That hypothesis can be quickly dismissed after observing that the riot was planned and coordinated by long-time right-wing activists online, in close coordination with Trump's anti-election campaign staff.

Saying so in a link free post is laughable.

From your link:

Neither Rhodes nor Person 10, who has not been publicly identified, has been charged or accused of wrongdoing.

And? The indictments are just starting to get handed down. They always start with the ground level and work their way up to the masterminds.

Rhodes has now been charged with seditious conspiracy.

Charged isn't the same thing as convicted. Innocent before proven guilty, remember?

1. You have seen video of rioters in military tactical gear...Surely you'd agree that they planned on some kind of activity where that kind of clothing would come in handy....like a riot?

2. Did you forget the amount of money the Trump campaign spent bringing people to Trump's rally?

$3.5 million....

Crimes of intent are tricky things to prosecute.

Especially if the accused is doing all he can to hide the evidence.

How can any man know what’s in another man’s heart and mind? Is someone automatically guilty because of a desire or because of wrong think. Is that the way liberals intend to prosecute and run this country? Sure looks that way right about now.

If an investigation turns up communications between the White House and the leaders of the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers that clearly states the intention is to reject the electors from PA, Mi, Wi, Ga and AZ...and there is any mention of the idea of intimidating congress into delaying the vote....then what?

How far are you willing to bend over backwards before you admit that Trump thought he could stay in power by rejecting the electors from those states?

How can you ignore his attempt to persuade the SoS of Georgia that he could "find" 11,000 votes and declare him the winner?

Where did you come up with that?

So why did they break windows? Why were members of congress and the VP evacuated?

The absurdity of some wingers defense of the indefensible is mindblowing.

The were riled up by antifa rabble rousers who happened to notice that there weren't any guard troops and not enough cops, so they urged a bunch of the tourists standing around to go and get their camouflage utility uniforms, spears and baseball bats and hurry back in time to support the blue by beating the snot out of them...

Spot f'n on!

And they don't even realize their hypocrisy when it's laid right in front of them.

Oh well. It's like talking to a wall.
