    Former House sergeant-at-arms Paul Irving denied allegations he didn’t want to call the National Guard before the Jan. 6 riot out of concern that it would look bad. Then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund alleged Irving denied his request, citing “optics.”http://apne.ws/tTRs1U2

        Funny, they didn’t care about “optics” when they teargassed the entire crowd at Lafayette Square.

        Based on evidence presented today the Chief of the Capitol Police did indeed need to resign.

        I hope they are thorough with this investigation. Something is very fishy! Everyone paying any attention knew something big was being planned.

        Someone is not telling the truth. Blaming each other is an outdated procedure !

        Law enforcement & the IC knew this was coming. FBI warned certain violent groups not to attend. police presence at the Capitol was left thin&lightly equipped. Trump controlled the whole federal govt when this happened. He assembled his mob for a reason. Luckily their coup failed.

        I read that the plan may have been to cause mayhem so that Trump could cite the Insurrection Act and thereby have a justification to declare Martial Law and remain in power. Imagine if they has succeeded in taking hostages or in actually getting Pence up on those gallows.

        The fact Sund persists in the same story over a month later does seem to indicate he's telling the truth.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/sund-riot-national-guard/2021/01/10/fc2ce7d4-5384-11eb-a817-e5e7f8a406d6_story.html …

        Check the Capitol switchboard logs regarding 109pm call.

        So one of them is lying? Hm. Which one of them decided to only deploy 1/4 of USCP, and to not issue them riot gear? That's the liar.
