I'm honestly trying to figure out the latest spin on January 6--after more than 2 years of ignoring what the FBI knew, when they knew it, and the number of informants in key "militia" groups, corporate media now placing blame on law enforcement "failures?"
nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
I noted several times re: Jan 6 committee work that it didn't appear investigators had interviewed Chris Wray or Steven D'Antuono, head of Washington Field office on Jan 6.

That turned out to be the case. There's no reason for this except as a cover-up:

amgreatness.com/2022/12/19/wha…
These agencies--FBI, Capitol Police, DC Metro, DHS for name a few--were not uninformed. They were not unprepared. They chose to leave the building, grounds intentionally unsecure while police lobbed concussion grenades into the crowd and other officers allowed protesters inside.
Again last week, a Capitol police officer testified at trial that she and her colleagues had no direction on January 6. She also testified the use of nonlethal munitions--which are lethal if misfired, she said--made the crowd "explode" that afternoon.

A recurring theme for J6.
This creates a HUGE opportunity for House Republicans. Why did J6 committee bury this in an appendix? Why didn't investigators interview Wray or D'Antuono? If intel was available, let's see paper trial. Who made decision to keep Capitol vulnerable--and why?

And release the tapes

Not only was Mark Milley deeply involved in pre-protest discussions with top Trump adm officials related to January 6, he attempted to manage local law enforcement prep and surveilled legal political orgs like the Proud Boys.

Then he covered his tracks… amgreatness.com/2023/02/06/mis…
Milley : “Immediately following the 6th, I knew the significance, and I asked my staff, freeze all your records, collate them, get them collected up. And we actually classified it at a pretty high level, and we put it on [Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System], top…
secret stuff. It’s not that the substance is classified. It was, I wanted to make sure that this stuff was only going to go to people who appropriately needed to see it, like yourselves.”

He was talking to J6 committee.

“Appropriately?”

Does anyone want to explain why the chairman of the Joint Chiefs or Staff is monitoring…the Proud Boys? Image
And can any Posse Comitatus experts explain how Milley didn’t violate this law—repeatedly?

He was extensively involved in assessing and even attempting to manage local law enforcement response on January 6.

Why is he asking these agencies if they wanted military assistance? Image
Need an org chart that shows how director of the FBI takes orders from chairman of JCOS.

Also he monitors social media for "threats" against Barack Obama? Image

Reviewing Mark Milley's J6 transcript and I'm pretty sure there's no one more insufferable: ImageImage
Yes it's totally normal for the nation's top military official to hold an off-the-record press briefing with "news anchors" the night before a national election
because ya know he's a rule follower who stays out of domestic politics! Image
Rule follower and very super apolitical Mark Milley refers to Mike Lindell as "pillow man" Image

Spent a few very productive days in DC which included covering the insane asylum otherwise known as the DC District Courthouse.

Diverted covering Proud Boys trial to cover sentencing for Russell Alford of Alabama and I’m glad I did:
Alford’s case was before Tanya Chutkan, the Obama appointee known for handing down some of the toughest sentences for J6ers.

She also wrote the opinion that rejected Trump’s claims of executive privilege before Jan 6 committee.

She’s a doozy.

apnews.com/article/capito…
Alford made the fatal mistake of declining a plea deal on 4 misdemeanors and dared to exercise his right to a jury trial (in DC) and to defend himself on the stand.

Like many Trump supporters, the jury returned a guilty verdict on same day shortly after closing arguments.

Look, there is beyond enough evidence to prove every agency including FBI had an eye on Jan 6 months before the protest.

Informants embedded in “militia” groups and who knows where else. Intense comms btw top law enforcement, intel, military officials… nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
for weeks before J6.

One of Pelosi’s security chiefs told J6 committee that planning for that day began in summer of 2020.

Why?

Pelosi’s staff VERY involved in discussions re Jan 6 “security.”

amgreatness.com/2022/12/26/wha…
If FBI failed to prevent the “worst terror attack since 9/11,” why didn’t committee interview Chris Wray?

His name isn’t mentioned ONCE in 845-page report.

What about Steven D’Antuono? His name is raised REPEATEDLY by witnesses as the guy running…

First responders describe what they saw on January 6. This is a paramedic at scene of one of two cardiac arrests.

“We started hearing explosions which later turned out to be flashbangs or smoke grenades.”
“The tension of the crowd was getting higher and higher as the flashbangs were going off around us. We had no idea what was going on.”
“The police started to disperse concussion grenades over the tops of our heads.”

“It was unexplained…why was he in cardiac arrest? Nobody knew.”
