    Why the National Guard took so long is an interesting question but the more important one is why didn’t the FBI, etc notice the absolute state of the maga-verse in the weeks leading up to Jan 6th? All their plans were out in the open, even I knew what was going to go down and I’m just a random internet person on the other side of the world not the NSA or whatever.

    They had weeks to prepare but instead got caught with their pants down. It was completely negligent. Heads should roll.

      That really should be a bigger scandal. They were posting plans on public forums. Half the internet knew what time it was gonna happen.

        They had T-shirts printed well in advance, hell even the media had their vans and cameras ready in advance of the event, the FBI should have been well aware if any of them watched cable news at all in the week leading up to the event.

      Probably because a lot of the FBI supported Trump

      For all Trump’s screaming about the FBI, they still keep Hoover’s name on the building. They knew it was coming and looked the other way.

      No it’s not. Trump didn’t call them up until way later because he wanted his boot licking psycophants to take over. He appointed the cock-gobbling head of the agency like he appointed those cock-gobbling justices.
