No one foresaw that Trump would sic the crowd on the Capital,
In fact....as testimony revealed in the J6 Hearings....Trump and enablers took pains to hide the fact that there was the intention to aim the assembled MAGAMob directly at our assembled legislators and their staffs (even some family was present, e.g., Pence's).
Now, was this intention to send the mob as the main-thrust AFTER the tip-of-the-spear ProudBoys, Oathkeepers, Bugaloo, et al, had breached and overwhelmed the Capitol defenders?
As has been discussed on this venue: Why didn't Trump and enablers apply for a permit to march to the Capitol? They did for the Ellipse assembly. They knew there would be a directive to march....but intentionally did not alert the city, the Parks police, or the Capitol police that a huge throng of MAGAMobsters would be aimed at the Capitol right down a major traffic thorofare.
Did Trump and enablers desire to have the Capitol police un-reinforced for the day? To have just their normal everyday staffing level because they were anticipating a crowd at the Ellipse....and NOT aimed at their jurisdiction.
Why did Trump and enablers keep the march a secret? What was their motive?
