Well I wonder what in the hell is going on during those riots in D.C.? The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing? Give me a break.

According to an exclusive report by Newsweek, on the weekend of 2-3 January 2021, senior leaders of the FBI, US Marshals Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) met to discuss contingency plans and possible threats ahead of the Joint Session of Congress where now US President Joe Biden's electoral victory was sealed. The forces gathered at Quantico, around 50km from Capitol Hill. The teams’ pre-deployment was approved by acting Donald Trump attorney-general Jeffrey Rosen, and they were tasked with swooping into the city in the event of a major emergency

The decision to deploy the special elite forces in Washington DC was not requested or known of by US Capitol Police or the DC Metro Police forces, or even members of Congress. Therefore, they proved to be ill-prepared for the events which unfolded on January 6 at the Capitol building, offering almost no persistence to rioters as they stormed the legislature.
