January 6, 2021 Storming of the US Capitol

[Mark B]

Starting this thread as a single point of reference to this seditious act.

It appears certain based on the lack of preparedness and timely response to this seditious attack on the seat of government of the United States that the leadership of Federal law enforcement agencies purposely did not respond in a timely manner or with sufficient force to deal with the event that culminated with the storming of the US Capitol.

Federal agencies such as the Department of Defense, the FBI and possibly others, did not respond to calls for help to send reinforcements or approve the use of National Guard or non-federal law enforcement agencies for over 90 minutes after Senate and House leaders contacted law enforcement pleading for help.
