He wants: "Unblinking" integrated cameras, a retractable fence, a citywide quick reaction force and increased background checks to prevent "insider threat risks."

More details:

NEWS from @joshgerstein: A former State Department aide has become the first Trump administration appointee arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

politico.com/news/2021/03/0…
WOW: @ktbenner gets the actual arrest affidavit for former State Dept aide Federico KLEIN. He was still employed there on Jan. 6, held a Top Secret clearance that was renewed in 2019 and is accused of multiple assaults on Capitol police. int.nyt.com/data/documentt…
AND: Most notably, Klein — who served in the military — is accused of egging on the crowd and calling for “fresh people” at the front to help push back on officers. That detail was previously cited by authorities as evidence of a coordinated assault.

NEW filing documents one of the most brutal Jan. 6 assaults on Capitol police. Prosecutors are asking to hold Clayton Ray Mullins, who allegedly joined an assault on officers as they attempted to retreive Rosanne Boyland's body, one of five who died.
An image documenting the assault was partially redacted because Boyland was visible in it.

"Boyland’s associate, Justin Winchell, was attempting tobring Boyland’s body forward to law enforcement when the assaults of Officers A.W., B.M., and C.M. began."
MULLINS was later identified by someone who has a "30-year-banking relationship" with him, and he was spotted on Feb, 4 surveillance footage at his bank.

The latest w/ @joshgerstein

politico.com/news/2021/03/0…

Nordean helped scout out the Capitol for weakly defended entrances, prosecutors say.

politico.com/news/2021/03/0…
@joshgerstein Among other tactics Nordean helped orchestrate, per the filing: Dressing 'incognito' to avoid detection, spreading out at multiple Capitol entrances and recruiting"normies" — non Proud Boys — to join in the assault. politico.com/news/2021/03/0…
