If still, why did it appear that Law Enforcement at the capitol were caught off guard . Holy cow. That is a really good question. And had the House Managers done their investigate, maybe somebody would have an answer to that. But they didnt. They did zero investigation. They did nothing, they looked into nothing. But jiminy crickets there is no due process in this proceeding at all. My counsel said before this is the worst experience in washington, for that i guess were sorry but then you should have been here on january 6th.
