1/ No one is taking about the fact that there are very specific plans to protect the US Capitol, a joint session of Congress and the VP.
Someone CHOSE to withhold the execution of those plans.
Who made this decision?
Who ordered it?
2/ The US Capitol, during a joint session, was breached and terrorists, domestic or foreign, could have bombed or attacked Congress from the inside, where the building is vulnerable.
3/ Who ordered the DHS, Secret Service & FBI to stand down and not execute protection plans for the US Capitol during a joint session of Congress?
We know why, but who below Trump gave the orders to stand down and allow the Legislative Branch to be attacked?
4/ The Dept of Defense withheld the National Guard while the US Capitol, during a joint session of Congress, was under seige.
This was a traitorous act during a coup, during an active violent sedition.
5/ If DC was a state they would not have had to wait on DoD approval to deploy the National Guard and protect the streets of the US Capitol.
Trump & DoD intentionally allowed our US Capitol to be violently attacked by insurectionists.
The US Govt is not safe under Trump rule.
6/ The Capitol Police were left terribly outnumbered by the DoD, DHS & Trump.
We are lucky only one person died in this betrayal of the Legislative Branch by the Executive.
9/ Why did @kayleighmcenany lie, falsely claiming Trump deployed the National Guard to protect the US Capitol, well into the seditionist siege, when he clearly did not?
10/ Someone MUST have given the order to stand down. It is not possible that there is not an active plan to protect a joint session of Congress by Federal Forces.
Who believes otherwise?
11/ The DoD and DHS don't just deploy forces after an attack has happened, they start deploying for an event like this, a joint session of Congress with a planned protest, well before the day of. Someone told them to stand down.
12/ The default is for the DoD and DHS to protect the US Capitol. It would take coordination to disable existing plans to protect the Capitol.
Someone gave the orders NOT to execute existing protection plans.
13/ Exactly, Trump's premeditated plan to attack the US Congress began when he fired the SecDef and AG. Trump needed a lot of help to disable the existing defense plan for the US Capitol.

@Mikey7314@justbeinpetty Except it does NOT say that in the US Constitution.
It ONLY says that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will preside over the trial.
Justices in the past have been passive because historically the Senate has conducted legitimate impeachment trials, with witnesses & documents
@Mikey7314@justbeinpetty "Senate rules" can not overrule what is in the US Constitution, they can not take away power vested in Chief Justice Roberts by the Constitution.
Of course the presiding judge can choose to defer to Senate rules and allow them to manage the trial, BUT ...
@Mikey7314@justbeinpetty If Chief Justice John Roberts chooses to allow a #ShamTrial as he presides over it,
if Chief Justice John Roberts chooses not to allow witnesses and documents to be subpoenaed,
then it is Chief Justice John Roberts and the Supreme Court choosing a #ShamTrial
@IvankaTrump Your ROTTEN EVIL DAD wrote the evil fucking racist hate mongering words that the mass murder repeated in his manifesto, before doing exactly what Donald encourages his neo-Nazi, white supremacist followers to do, murder Latino women & children @IvankaTrump
@IvankaTrump Just FUCK OFF @IvankaTrump.
FUCK OFF to your racist, evil white supremacist dad.
FUCK OFF to your whole racist, hateful family that has been putting children in cages and killing them with torturous, inhumane living conditions.
1/ When we look at Trump's repeated efforts to sabotage the US economy with Tweets & trade wars, we really need to dig into the basics of his limited personality to ask why?
2/ Yes we know that Trump has been fundamentally racist his whole life & wants to blame the Mexican people, and thus all people with brown skin, for his gargantuan business failures in their country.
3/ & yes Trump running casinos (cash machines) into bankrupty, while other casino operators were raking in profits, demonstrates he's always been an ignorant decision maker who stayed afloat with 1/2 billion of dad's cash, loans, cheating & stealing.
2/ Trump's biggest embarrassment & failure was Trump Baja, a total fraud that Ivanka helped perpetrate. It's still a hole in the ground & they defrauded a lot of people. latimes.com/politics/la-na…
3/ Trump also attempted and failed to get approved an environmentally disastrous project called Punta Arrecifes on the island of Cozumel in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Donald failed miserably. riviera-maya-news.com/trumps-failed-…
