J6 security failures mount as footage shows Capitol Police losing control of gear used against them
Just the News ^ | 7/18/23 | By John Solomon and Nicholas Ballasy

Intelligence forewarning of violence kept from decision makers. A plea for National Guard rejected. Security locks on a door deactivated, allowing rioters to flood into the Capitol. And now officers losing control of gear that then gets used against them.

The evidence of serious security failures inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 tragedy keeps mounting as House Republicans use their new found control to expose information that was suppressed by their Democrat counterparts' original investigation.

The latest bombshell surfaced Tuesday night when security obtained by Just the News revealed Capitol Police lost control of a yellow bag of law enforcement-like equipment, including plastic handcuffs that are immediately used by rioters to put officers in danger.

[snip]

Later, the officers leave the bag and hardshell case unattended in the same foyer as rioters breach the premises, allowing the flag-waving protester to grab both bags and walk off with them into the rowdy crowd. A short while later, other protesters return the bag and case to the same door, but rifle through them and remove some equipment, including what appears to be a police riot helmet.

The entire January 6th protest was organized from within. All they needed to pull it off was a few protesters who got out of control at the encouragement of the embedded feds (such as Ray Epps). I'm convinced that members of Antifa had been recruited to play their part as Trump supporters as well.

How were plastic handcuffs “immediately put to use to put officers in danger?” Did the rioters actually zip tie a cop?

And some FR posters claim that Trump didn’t “forcefully” urge the crowd to be peaceful. (Hinting he didn’t really mean it I guess.)

Ah, never mind...

“Soon after, a protester picks up the zip-tie plastic cuffs and uses them to lock the door from the outside, trapping officers inside a foyer where rioters begin to spray them with fire extinguishers. The officer struggled to break through the handcuff-locked door, eventually getting out as they gasp for fresh air after being exposed to the gases from the extinguishers.”

Video shows that they zip tied an outside door and when the police were sprayed with a fire extinguisher, they had a hard time getting out the door.

See videos.....

I saw a video of one protester that he admitted that Antifa was recruited for this.

In the video, some random guy nonchalantly walks up and uses the ties around an entrance double door knobs so people can’t get out. The guy then nonchalantly walks away.

It totally looks like the zip ties were left on purpose, and the door locking guy knew they would be there.

Totally a set up. That whole scene was staged. They left the bags there, unattended, on purpose. The two men who came in and took the bags knew exactly where they were.

Chain of custody. We don’t even know, for a fact, what was in the bags.

Similar to the George Floyd riots in 2020, bricks and rocks were left in strategic places even though there was no construction nearby. I am aware that there was one in Plano, Texas, on the path of a protest March, which fortunately did not turn violent.

Watch the handcuffs on the floor very closely. Before and after Capital Police enter the room. They change position. The tape is altered one way or another. Total setup.

Pelosi (charged with DC policing), turned down Trump’s offer⁴ of National Guard.

Sounds like McCarthy found the “right” idiot to release the tapes to. How does this help us?

That’s because DeSantis said something of the sort and they’ve picked up on that.
