22. to me, these are the unanswered questions of Jan 6.......

Was there ever a "if you build it, they will come" conversation, and who was involved? And by that I mean, was it ever discussed with the proud boys or some such group, that hey, if you start pushing your way into the buidling, the rest of the crowd will follow you, and you can stop the certification. Most people in a riot or insurrection or whatever you want to all it might not have the fortitude to start something they know is illegal themselves, but once the wheels are set in motion will join in. A lot of the people that went into the capital not to kill but just to put their stupid faces in instagram with a statue, did that.

and during that chaos the real insurrectionists had a plan to do their attacks.

If those discussions occurred. who was in on it? did drumpf have his minions talk to them? did he talk to them directly?

What about the capital security? How were they deployed that day compared to other protests? Were there less officers than usual? Were they purposefully understaffed to make it easier to gain entry? Who decided how many officers would be there and how many barricades would be set up? What sort of assessments were they given on the size and potential violence of the crowd, and did they ignore those assessments and set up a response more appropriate for girl scouts?

And the third major prong of this is the response. and i think this is the easiest place to prove crimes. specifically the calls for help that went ignored for several hours. why were initial calls for the national guard ignored? when did drumpf know an attack was occurring and what did he do in that exact moment?

These are all the things i'm expecting the jan 6 commission to get to the bottom of...... we have the body, and we know who the killer is, now we need to peel back all the layers of the onion to figure out every detail of how it was done that we can put in front of a jury to get a conviction. it is a slow and painfully arduous process.
