It is worse than anyone thought. I am sure.
I strongly suspect it is going to be shocking how many people working on the inside of our government and law enforcement were aware of, and helped, the insurrection on Wednesday.
From Congress to the White House to law enforcement and military - this was coordinated and funded.

Hello, zip tie guy? These guys were ready to take hostage and murder on live tv.
We must get electronic records, phone records, etc for White House staff that are known to symapthize (Scavino, Miller, Meadows, Kushner, Trump Jr).
There is a "there" there.
These folks were too calm. They didn't seem worried about their personal safety. They knew they were fine.
They had to plan for a large enough crowd to allow the mercenaries to blend. And they did. Timed entry. Crowd blending.
I have seen others strongly suggest the inauguation be held at a secure location (I think @sarahkendzior) and I COMPLETELY AGREE.
Get Biden in, safely. Then BREAK SHIT DOWN.
More from Government
How does a government put a legislation on 'hold'? Is there any constitutional mechanism for the executive to 'pause' a validly passed legislation? Genuine Koshan.
So a committee of 'wise men/women' selected by the SC will stand in judgement over the law passed by
Here is the thing - a law can be stayed based on usual methods, it can be held unconstitutional based on violation of the Constitution. There is no shortcut to this based on the say so of even a large number of people, merely because they are loud.
Tomorrow can all the income tax payers also gather up at whichever maidan and ask for repealing the income tax law? It hurts us and we can protest quite loudly.
How can a law be stayed or over-turned based on the nuisance value of the protestors? It is anarchy to allow that.
CJI: our intention is to see if we can bring about an amicable resolution to the problem. That is why we asked you why don't you put the #FarmBills on hold. You want time for negotiation. If there is some sense of responsibility showing that you will not implement the laws

CJI: .....then we can form a committee with ICAR members to look into this. Till then you can continue to put the law on hold. Why will you insist on continuing the law anyhow

AG Venugopal: none of the petitions point to any provision of three farm acts stating that it is unconstitutional

CJI: we are not declaring it unconstitutional

If you're curious what Trump's defense will look like, all you have to do is turn on Fox News. My latest at @mmfa
The tl;dr is that for years right-wing media have been excusing Trump's violent rhetoric by going, "Yes, but THE DEMOCRATS..." and then bending themselves into knots to pretend that Dems were calling for violence when they very, very clearly weren't.
And in fact, this predates Trump.
In 2008, Obama was talking about not backing down in the face of an ugly campaign. He said "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."

That quote was from the movie The Untouchables. And there's no way anybody reading that quote in good faith could conclude that he was talking about actual guns and knives. But it became a big talking point on the
In 2018, Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder was speaking to a group of Georgia Democrats about GOP voter suppression. He riffed on Michelle Obama's "When they go low, we go high" line from the 2016 DNC.
