Previous guy hoped to have fresh combat-experienced troops to ensure his self-coup. Unfortunately the military leadership was aware and warned the institution off, if only because Trump had made such a mess of the White House, likely going back to his dropping the 11 ton MOAB conventional weapon in Afghanistan to little effect.
In a new article on the eve of the January 6 hearings, Politico is starting to ask questions about why Trump didn’t succeed. Doubtless some wanted it to happen whereas lives were lost because some in law enforcement leadership “knew nothing”.
Just two days before armed rioters stormed and ransacked the Capitol, about 300 law enforcement officials got on a conference call to talk about the possibility that Donald Trump’s supporters would turn violent on Jan. 6. They specifically discussed the possibility that the day’s gatherings would turn into a mass-casualty event, and they made plans on how to communicate with each other if that happened. The officials were so prepared for chaos that they even had a hashtag to share information on the FBI’s private communication service: #CERTUNREST2021. These previously unreported details come from a person familiar with the call and an email summarizing it obtained by the transparency group Property of the People. The Wall Street Journal first reported that the call occurred. “Reporting indicates a significant number of individual [sic] plan to or are advocating for others to travel to Washington, DC to engage in civil unrest and violence,” reads the summary of the call, which included officials from so-called fusion centers — regional intelligence hubs set up after 9/11 to track major domestic threats. The extent of the FBI’s awareness that the rally by Trump backers could turn violent raises fresh questions about why national security and law enforcement officials didn’t do more to protect the Capitol on that volatile day. A few days after the riot, a top FBI official told reporters that the Bureau “did not have intelligence suggesting the pro-Trump rally would be anything more than a lawful demonstration,” according to The Washington Post. But the call summary shows that hundreds of officials at fusion centers around the country in fact saw the threat coming, and that they prepared for damaging unrest days before the first rioters broke into the Capitol. “The question is why. Why did Capitol Police leadership ignore the clear threat of the coming coup?” xHundreds of law enforcement officials were prepped early for potential Jan. 6 violence, raising fresh questions about why national security and law enforcement officials didn’t do more to protect the Capitol on that volatile day. https://t.co/IHPyFRfG03 via @politico— Laura Walker ⚖🍸🇺🇸 🏴 (@LauraWalkerKC) September 10, 2021 Democrats prep a somber yet TV-ready first hearing in Jan. 6 probe "If only we had Robert E.
