The Capitol Police Admission

The Acting Chief of the Capitol Police admitted that the force knew on January 4^th that a major riot was probably going to occur on January 6^th.  The now-resigned Chief, upon learning of the impending riot, notified the Capitol Police Board of the probability and put in a request on Jan. 4 for the Capitol Police Board to declare a state of emergency and authorize a request to secure National Guard support. That request was denied, and the Chief was told to contact the D.C. National Guard to see how many troops would be available if needed on short notice. 

 

And that is where it stopped. 

 

The Capitol Police Board consists of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Capitol Architect.

 

When the riots started, calls went out to the Washington Metropolitan Police and the National Guard, but communications were assertedly spotty between them and the Capitol Police. 

 

Once thing is certain: Neither President Donald J. Trump or the peaceful protestors on the streets of Washington were responsible for this heinous act. The fact that the Democrat leadership immediately blamed Trump and tried to rush an impeachment though is beyond being despicable and vile.   

 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
