You know, yesterday when I watched the (6 day late) FBI/DOJ press conference, they said some things would be coming out in the next few days that would be "shocking". I thought to myself, yeah, not likely - a whole bunch of us expected something exactly like this (or worse).
I'm disappointed that Mickie Sherrill didn't the names of those she saw doing "recon tours" on Jan 5. I suppose it's because there's an active fbi/doj investigation?

Their ultimate ineptitude is actually kind of amusing (I have a dark sense of humor).
I told my husband that it seemed like they just didn't have the stomach for what they went there to do. They got stirred up with this mob mentality, but because it was ultimately so far beyond the scope of AMERICAN normalcy they just couldn't go through with the violence in the way they had planned. If they had, we would have seen videos of the cops being shot at the barricaded doors rather than talked down. Their inability to immediately take out those threats is precisely what prevented them from accessing their ultimate targets based on what I'm hearing about when they entered the chamber versus when congressional evacuations were completed.
Or...maybe their coordinated effort is just getting WAY TOO MUCH credit and instead the true unhinged parties looking to murder lawmakers were much smaller in number compared to the fanatics who just got caught up in that mob mentality and went along for the ride.

I think this is much, much bigger than the average citizen assumed when we first saw the coverage.
At first it looked like a riot that got "lucky" (for them, being able to get in) through under-preparation of law enforcement.
Now, with more & more coming out, this looks like it actively starts from the top down, and is a full on act of war and terror.
And there is more planned in all 50 states.

I mean, you know it had to be coordinated, but it is still absolutely CHILLING to hear it in action. I missed the FBI press conference. Is there a link so I can read it?

I think this is the whole press conference: CSPAN LINK

Certain members of Congress led “tours” of the Capitol the day before the riot.

I agree with this. She-and others-should be treated like the threat they are. I would not feel safe working with them, especially when they are armed. She seems to be in deep with the terrorists and is looking for any way to be relevant and fanatical. ETA that other people are losing their jobs. Lawmakers shouldn’t be exempt from that.

What are they all doing with their hands in that picture?
Is it that White Power sign? And she is too?

Was the 90 minute delay between the breach of the building and Trump finally allowing the NG to be called out - was that delay hoping for shots fired so that he could call for martial law?

Why would he want martial law imposes on his own people? I either read and article or listened to a podcast the other day that described the process that was gone through and the people who said no to the NG being brought in. It was ridiculous.

I may be wrong, but I THINK that if he had declared martial law, he could then stop the inauguration? I'm not sure, so I hope someone smarter than I will chime in! LOL

I watched live and o remember the cnn studio reporters bewildered at where law enforcement was. It didn’t occur to them or me that the police just LET THEM IN. and that our dickhead in Chief was actively avoiding phone calls for help. Every day I get more sickened, more enraged.

We had a special report here in the UK last night by Robert Moore the ITV network's Washington correspondent.( he's British not an American working for ITV). He is one of ITV News' most experienced correspondents, previously being based in London, Moscow, Brussels and Jerusalem.
He and his camera crew were the first media crew inside the building in the midst of the " rioters/protestors" He mentioned quite a few times that there were many aspects of what they were seeing that this had been planned. Amongst other things they focussed on, was a woman in a very bright green jumper ( unknown to the crew) who, in his opinion knew exactly where to go and was also leading and giving directions to others.
At times I got quite concerned for their safety. Here's some of what he reported on his twitter account but the programme itself was an hour long. I don't think you can see it in the US unless you have some way of over-riding the " not available in your country" message.The programme wascalled " The Storming of the Capitol"

I think this is actually a lot closer to the truth. The 'average Joe' type MAGA protesters were just the cover, if you will. Especially after hearing that the FBI told a number of KNOWN right-wing nut-jobs to stay AWAY from DC.

Internet says that held that way it’s a “three percenter” sign - basically a gang sign for a far right militia/terrorist group.

Also I thought the woman circled in red in that picture was the Rep, but that’s not her.

So were the panic buttons taken out of EVERY office or just the people who are outspoken against trump? Add this to the list of things that need to be investigated.

The date of the picture still doesn’t negate the tweet I posted. All the questions/concerns he asked/stated are 100% valid.

I don’t think it makes her any less shady if the pic is from July. She is still making a 3% sign with her hands and several people in the photo “just happened” to be at the insurrection on January 6.

Wow, is all I can say. Thank you for sharing the video of Mikie Sherrill. She is who I want in Congress. I wish she named names too, but if she cannot because it's part of an investigation, I understand. I am just tired of bullies not being called out. Hopefully they can be jailed for what they have done! It's harder to rally a group to overthrow the government from jail.
And that picture, it's so scary. I am more in fear of our own domestic terrorists than I ever was of foreign terrorists after Sept. 11th terrorist attack.
