How about an acccounting or who in the crowd were:
Federal Agents or in the employ of Federal Agencies, even as contractors.
Agents Provocateur
ANTIFA/BLM 'hired guns'.
We need to know which of the people actually breaking things and throwing hands were plants, and which were actual protesters.
Why did Capitol Police fire pyrotechnic gas bombs, less than lethal rounds into a crowd at point-blank range (something not even done in the BLM riots.)
Why were flashbangs thrown into a crowd which was peaceable even if misplaced?
Who gathered up the original t-post and wire/string/orange net 'crowd control' barriers? (Ray Epps, remember him? was caught on video talking with one of the people who started removing that barrier material immediately afterward?) This removal left the crowd no 'dead line' reference except the bicycle rack barriers, which immediately led to a 'perimeter breach' because the crowd did not know where the perimeter was--the lines had been removed.
Had the crowd kept to the original perimeter, they would have not been close enough to the bicycle rack barriers for the acting security personnel to fire less-than lethal rounds point blank, nor throw in flashbangs ("concussion munitions") --which can be lethal at close proximity.
IIRC, it was the escalation by LEOs and Agents that led to the breach of the bicycle rack barrier, because who won't react when being peaceful and inappropriate force is applied?
Who was the guy breaking windows (in black bloc dress) and pulling them out of the sash who tried to blame the guy who was trying to stop him for the damage, but got caught on video anyway? Was he a plant? If so, by whom, and for what agency?
Who were the people in Trump gear who were inside before the breach?
Were they Feds, hirelings, or otherwise not genuine Trump supporters, but plants to provoke the crowd? How about the reported busloads of ANTIFAs, (who may have been of other affiliations)?
Who opened the electrically locked outer doors to the Capitol?
Under whose orders? (after all, the invasion of the building through a couple of broken windows (serious choke points) should be easily controlled, and those breaches plugged.
Was this done because the proceedings were approaching the part where the objections to the electoral vote certifications for various states were to be recorded as a normal course of events and the "insurrectionists" were no where near close enough to interrupt them, so the 'invasion' had to be helped along to be effective?
After all, more conservative folks are not nearly as efficient at invading the premises nor destroying things as, say the crowd on Lake Street (MN), in Portland (OR), Kenosha (WI), and elsewhere. Leftists get that stuff done, looted, and burned, much more efficiently than those of a more conservative mien, who are seldom inclined to invade property, much less loot the contents and destroy what they cannot carry away.
If the Right is going to have an insurrection, then the Right really needs to up their game, become more proficient at B&E, larceny, and general violence. It is a sad showing, indeed, that those on the Right who were allegedly plotting insurrection and who come from the arguably most heavily armed fraction of the populace (after the Military, Police, and career criminals), presented itself, hat-in-hand, unarmed, to allegedly overthrow the government and be a "Threat to our DemocracyTM".
In fact, it looks like, aside from a few bad actors attempting to inspire the rest to misbehaviour, and/or facilitate that breach of Capitol etiquette, most of the folks there were just following the person ahead of them. Others took one look and left, smelling a rat.
The whole show reeks of a setup, including the guy (Ray Epps, again) who was screaming that the protesters needed to enter the building (because hollering outside would not interrupt the proceedings at the critical point which was SKIPPED when the proceedings resumed.
Now, in this some would say these statements reek of paranoia, but, by definition, paranoia is a delusional state. You are not paranoid if there is someone really 'out to get you'. It appears, that at least for those in attendance that day, the Government (and three letter agencies), all dominated by the very folks who are running things and have been accused of stealing the election, the full force of the Government is indeed, out to 'get them' for speaking their mind and walking on a self-guided tour of the premises, which We, The People, own.
It is difficult to envision entrapment on such a grand scale, but, what is, is.
Hopefully, there will be no 'next time', and not as a result of totalitarian jackboots trampling the First Amendment, nor as the simple end of behind the scenes machinations and skulduggery practiced by those seeking to be in power to retain it, but because we now know that either we stay well within the lines (including scouting in advance to see if those lines have been messed with), or the other option is to go whole hog and loaded for bear.
Please note that I am not advocating the latter, just pointing out that there is that aspect of human nature, that when unjustly accused enough times, and punished unjustly for something, a significant number of people will adopt the attitude that if they are going to be unjustly accused of something and punished for it without doing it, they will eventually do it, and with a vengeance unimagined. Such is human nature.
It would be far more encouraging if, instead of chasing protestors, citizens were tracking down the agents provocateur, the infiltrators into the crowd and organizations, the Confidential Informants, those who actually damaged the building and/or contents, the undercover actors who infiltrated the crowd, the guy who left the pipe bombs, and others who conspired to make the event into a cause célèbre for the Left, and an excuse to increase the persecution of those who continue to desire that we protect and defend our Constitutional Republic, damn their 'democracy'.
