“How they prepared for”.... they didn’t.

'We've investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.'

Oh... the political body that is controlled by the very people who instigated the riot will be investigating the riot? Great. Good. I'm sure it will be on the up and up. 👍

They didn't prepare and they didn't respond. Find out why. Find out who was behind this colossal failure.

I want to wait for JoeBiden KamalaHarris DOJ to conduct a real investigation into the insurrection. I don’t trust the current DOJ to do anything

Well the entire world watched how poor the response was

“prepared for”, like, facilitated?

Probably in on to make Trump look bad!

They knew ahead of the rally.

That's easy! They simply followed Pelosi's orders to stay the Hell off of Capitol Hill! 'Stand-Down'! She was begging for trouble, after inciting it for months! Democrats wanted the Trump crowd to breach Capitol Hill as a pretense for yet another bullshit Impeachment!

They need to uncover who was responsible for not having adequate security at the capital when they knew weeks in advance that Trump’s protesters were going to be there. This was an inside job.

It wasnt a riot, it as was an attempted overthrow of the US government. It was planned, coordinated and their goals were clear.
