I don't know what deals were made, if any. Flynn's brother was not calling the shots. I would not classify it as a "fake coup attempt", more like a recon in force mission, not dry run, but nasty directed use of force/forces, before a more serious attempt. Make no mistake, if they could have changed the election by their action that day, they would have, so it was a valid coup attempt, just not totally all out, go for broke, committed.We already know the military had been infiltrated by the time of the Jan.6th. riot by Michael Flynn's brother and perhaps more.
Deals were made to facilitate Jan.6th being less than murderous. It can't all be put down to Trump backing out at the critical time when he was needed to lead.
There are many details of the fake coup attempt that are known, but there are many stories to be told by the panel. At the top of the list are no guns and no adequate force to protect government. And I think we could include, 'no will' to find government officials in hiding.
National security may dictate that some be left untold.
The military had to be involved in the orders to stand down.
What a great time to talk about what everybody is expecting this week.
National security always influences what comes out at the time for reasons they claim are national security reason. Every single president since the Kennedy assignation has let out a little more of the investigation into that event, but held some back. Not surprising if we do not find out every single thing for years to come.
Not sure there was a stand down order, as much as refusal jump in at the top, not wanting to make it more than it might be. Guard troops from Virginia, is possibly not the light surgical response, one might think, if it can be brought under control by capital police and D.C. law enforcement, more attuned to political appearance impact on the country and the world. Troops can easily be much more harsh in response, and are used domestically sparingly.
