Lofgren provided details from the non-public timeline during a hearing with the USCP inspector general today. The IG said he shared similar concerns about the focus of Capitol Police threat assessments that day. politico.com/news/2021/05/1…
Per Lofgren, the USCP timeline made no mention of tracking that Proud Boys gathering even though it does mention tracking a group of 3 to 4 anti-Trump counter-protesters a short while later. politico.com/news/2021/05/1…
Lofgren has steadily dropped breadcrumbs about non-public components of USCP actions on 1/6 that have caused her the most alarm.
In her view, USCP was fixated on street skirmishes well after pro-Trump threat to the Capitol was clear. politico.com/news/2021/05/1…
