FBI agents found senators 'crying' and in shock on January 6: trial testimony
Business Insider ^ | Oct 3 | C. Ryan Barber

Posted on 10/03/2022 9:05:00 PM PDT by RandFan

On the morning of January 6, 2021, Michael Palian went to work as an FBI agent assigned to a task force investigating health care fraud.

Then a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol. That afternoon, he was among the FBI agents who rushed to the Capitol to guard senators who had gathered earlier in the day to certify now-President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election.

On Monday, federal prosecutors called Palian as the first witness in the seditious trial of Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes and four others charged with plotting to violently prevent the peaceful handoff of power on January 6. From the witness stand, Palian recalled the chaos of that day.

"I think 'shock' would be the best word to describe what the senators were feeling at that point. There was some crying. Everybody was running around," Palian testified.

The Feds refuse to release video from inside the Capitol. They can't let the world sees these sniveling cowards screaming and pushing to get behind each other.

These cowards are the people who send young Americans to war.

When you rig a free people’s election you may end up crying.... or worse.

Today’s crop of congressional defenders of freedom is sadly lacking in many areas.

For those who can’t see the connection, these are the weak men creating hard times.

They were afraid and helpless - not a one with anything to defend themselves from what they feared.

When Obama/Biden were in office, Congress was put on lockdown for a time. A dental assistant from Connecticut, with her baby daughter in the back seat of her car, was fleeing a heavily armed WH security unit and Capitol police through the streets of DC. I guess Congress was being protected from the 26 rounds that were fired into her car. Four of those striking her in the back. One kill shot to the side of her head. She never returned fire because she was unarmed. There were no explosives in her car…just a baby. She only wanted to talk to Obama and tell him to stop spying on her. She had no weapon. No drugs. No alcohol. She made no threats. DC Medical Examiner recorded her death as a homicide. But, thank God Congress members were protected from Miriam Carey. Media didn’t mention how many of them were crying.
What have we done?

Must not be a marble-sized ball among them if they were “crying” over nothing.

Liars or pussies. Either way they have no business being in congress.

I remember that now. Wonder what was going on with her. I don’t think there was any follow-up in the news was there? I probably just missed it. Poor lady.

These guys don’t care a whit about our hides, but let THEM get scared a bit, and they start bawling their eyes out.

This says much more about our evil, despotic yet gutless rulers than it does about ‘the insurrectionists’.
