WARNING there is very strong language toward the bottom of this post, be forewarned!
While the Democrats in Congress and many on the left jumped on the siege of the capital buildings as being incited by the Trump speech he gave at approximately the same time as the riots happened, investigation time is beginning to show another picture. Congress has committed the sin of coming to a conclusion with no information or evidence. Which is something they do repeatedly. Oh and lets not forget the media jumping all over it “Trumps fault Trumps Fault for hipping up the crowd.”
FBI investigation says that there were two pipe bombs found on January 6th, one at 12:45 at the headquarters of the RNC and one at 1:45 at the headquarters of the DNC. The fact that the Pipe Bombs were place tends to support that invasion of the Capital was a planned event. It also suggests that there was a command and control structure in place. You don’t make a pipe bomb in the back set of a car in five minutes. Neither were the Molotove Cocktails found later, made at the event, all were made well before the event.
President Trump begins his speech at 11:58 and ends at 1:11
At 12:30 Crowds gather outside of the Capital Building.
At 12:45 police find pipe bombs at RNC and subsequently find 11 Molotov cocktails filled with homemade napalm.
12:53 Rioters overwhelm police along the perimeter of the west Capital building. By 1:03 have forced police to the base of the west Capital steps.
So all of this happened before President Trump had finished his speech.
Trying to get a good estimate of how many people showed up for president Trumps speech is difficult the permit set at 30,000. Most believe it was more however, lets just leave it there. The number of people who laid siege to the Capital building is estimated at around 2,000. That means that the fast majority of the crowd came, listened, and left peacefully.
Law enforcement reviewing video have identified individuals using military or “small unit tactics” together with eye witness accounts of the use tactics trained to the military and law enforcement. These tactics are used in hostile environments to clear rooms and reach objectives. Additionally they observed the use of hand signals, physical contact, to unify the group and communicate directions. These are all trained behaviors.
Law enforcement have brought charges against individuals with affiliation with Three Percenters and Oath Keepers. These groups are anti-government, far right militant groups. Law enforcement have noted heavy recruitment among military and law enforcement. Which may indicate the coordination and premeditation of the events of Jan 6. Many of those identified and arrested are affiliated with militant groups.
Let me be clear, far right and far left militant groups are just opposite sides of the same coin. Remember in August BLM looted, set fires, attached police in DC. We need to rid ourselves of all “FAR” groups.
And Then there is the matter of John Sullivan. The following is taken from and Affidavit In Support of Criminal Complaint and Arrest Warrant. Written by a special agent of the FBI.
Sullivan is the leader of an organization called Insurgence USA which he uses to organize protests.
The FBI has a video of Sullivan while at the riot telling a crowd over a microphone “we about to burn this shit down”, we got to rip Trump out of office fucking pull him out of that shit we ain’t waiting until the next election we about to go get that motherfucker”. “its time for a revolution.
In another part of the video he can be heard saying “ There are so many people. Let’s go. This shit is ours fuck yeah” “We accomplished this shit. We did this together. Fuck yeah, we are all a part of this history” and “Let’s burn this shit down”
He addressed officers telling them to stand down, to go home they do not need to get hurt.
Mr. Sullivan sounds like a real Trump Supporter?
As time moves forward and Law Enforcement identifies and arrests more people a clearer picture will surface. However, the picture thus far painted says that January 6th was more than a simple crowd incited to riot by President Trump.
The above is the Affidavit In Support of Criminal Complaint and Arrest Warrant for John Sullivan. it is in pdf format.
