Did the police know about it . The answer seems to be yes. Nbc news has exclusive reporting that both the fbi and the nypd warned Capitol Police about the possibility days before the attack. The fbi visited more than a dozen extremists who were already under investigation. Agents urged them not to go to d. C. During the Electoral College count.

As paul ryan told the wookies, we have to stay on the right side of public opinion. Shutting down the government puts us on the wrong side. The fight is on the debt limit. Debt limit. In a season of overestimation, irresponsibility and fallacy, it is perhaps the grand old promises on the debt ceiling that truly take the date. Quote, in exchange for a debt ceiling increase, cantor told his colleagues, the gop will issue a litany of demeadowlands, oneyear delay of obama care, antiregulatory bill calls reines act and other spending reforms.
