Over the course of the next several months, we are going to learn quite a bit about the events of January 6th, but not everything that we hear is going to be taken at face value.

This is due to the fact that the select committee investigating the attempted insurrection has been largely seen as a partisan affair after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi barred certain members of the Republican Party from participating, forcing the GOP to rescind all of their picks.  Regardless of the merit of the endeavor, the phony left v. right paradigm is likely to taint the results.

But, outside of the committee’s work, there are truly worrisome revelations coming to light, and it could change the way that we view the event entirely.

Capitol Police whistleblower delivers scathing rebuke to 2 of its senior leaders Jan. 6

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/08/capitol-police-whistleblower-rebuke-jan-6-515696

A former high-ranking Capitol Police official with knowledge of the department’s response to the Jan. 6 attack has sent congressional leaders a scathing letter accusing two of its senior leaders of mishandling intelligence and failing to respond properly during the riot.

The whistleblower, who requested anonymity for privacy reasons and left the force months after the attack, sent the 16-page letter late last month to the top members of both parties in the House and Senate. His missive makes scorching allegations against Sean Gallagher, the Capitol Police’s acting chief of uniformed operations, and Yogananda Pittman, its assistant chief of police for protective and intelligence operations — who also served as its former acting chief.

The whistleblower accuses Gallagher and Pittman of deliberately choosing not to help officers under attack on Jan. 6 and alleges that Pittman lied to Congress about an intelligence report Capitol Police received before that day’s riot. After a lengthy career in the department, the whistleblower was a senior official on duty on Jan. 6.

The whistleblower’s criticism went beyond Capitol Police leaders to Congress. Without naming specific lawmakers, his letter accuses congressional leaders of having “purposefully failed” to tell the truth about the department’s failures.
...
In the whistleblower’s view, Gallagher and Pittman had all the intelligence needed to justify demanding reinforcements from the National Guard, closing the doors to the Capitol and using tougher but less-than-lethal weapons on the morning of Jan. 6. But they didn’t share that intelligence with the right people, the whistleblower wrote, and instead approved a woefully inadequate security plan.

IMO, either Gallagher and Pittman did not share the intel they had because they knew it was not very serious or because they wanted the kind of incident that actually did happen. Or both.

It was pre-planned and the 'botch' was on purpose.  I'm still confident both Pelosi and Pence knew what was going to happen ahead of time.

Jan 6th capital building insurrection as a democrat invention to further GET TRUMP, AND EASILY RECOGNIZED BY ME FROM THE BEGINNINGS.  AS USUAL THE SLOW DENIERS DRUG THEIR FEET ALL THIS TIME FOR MAXIMUM DEMOCRAT BENEFITS.

Just more botched, false evidence/testimonies to GET TRUMP, when will this crap finally sicken people of the outrageous injustice?

What democrats did to Sarah Palin, they did to General Flynn, then did to a sitting American President.  It appears many peoples idea of 'fair' is thoroughly washed in pig shiite.
