more are suspended as the inquiry moves forward.
"One member of law enforcement was arrested and two Capitol Police officers were suspended for their behavior during the Wednesday insurrection at the Capitol, according to Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio).
"The Capitol Police are looking at everybody involved that potentially facilitated, on a big level or small level in any way, and it's important that they're cracking down on that," Ryan told reporters Monday.
One of the officers who was suspended had been shown taking a selfie with one of the rioters in video footage that went viral on social media. The other had apparently donned a red "Make America Great Again" hat and directed the mob.
Details of the arrested individual remained sketchy, and Ryan said he was not clear if it was a member of the Capitol Police, the National Guard or other law enforcement.
Ryan, who chairs the funding committee that oversees the Capitol Police, said there was no evidence of a broader "inside job," or indications that members of the force had cooperated with or organized with the insurrectionists.
He also said he was raising questions as to why more aggressive tactics were not used to deter the crowds seeking to break into the Capitol and disrupt its certification of President-elect Joe Biden's November election victory.
Ryan confirmed that there were between 10 to 15 total investigations for misconduct during the event taking place.

No honor.
If Capitol police did this, or (God forbid) coordinated with the mob, they should go away for a long,long time.

Looking down on tradesmen, store clerks, waste haulers, cashiers, police, firemen, housewives, small business owners, roofers, custodians, mechanics, truck drivers, non certified school personnel, mill workers, factory workers, refinery workers, military. These and more are Trumpsters. You better than these American patriots? 74-80 million strong.
Just you.

from that building, who enter it with zip ties intending to disrupt, terrorize and capture senators and reps, who bring Molotov cocktails to use there. Those are trumpies dude, oh and yeah some may be fine people, but not many, and none of those. You should be so proud. They are Antifa like scum.
on that day and the delay once it became apparent it was out of control (immediately).
The DC mayor requested more security in December for Jan. 6, the NYTimes wrote about the FBI alerting everyone days in advance that this was something that could happen and in detail.
Then what really caused the delays in getting boots on the ground after being requested again by the DC mayor, Gov of Maryland and so on, for many, many hours while this was happening?

Pretty surprising, to say the least. Maybe there is a deep Trump state, eh?
"Chad F. Wolf, the acting secretary for the Homeland Security Department, resigned on Monday, just nine days before he was expected to help coordinate the security of a presidential inauguration facing heightened threats of violence.
Mr. Wolf told employees of the Homeland Security Department he would be stepping down on Monday night in part because of court rulings that invalidated some of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, citing the likelihood that Mr. Wolf was unlawfully appointed to lead the agency.
“Unfortunately, this action is warranted by recent events, including the ongoing and meritless court rulings regarding the validity of my authority as Acting Secretary,” Mr. Wolf said in the letter obtained by The New York Times. “These events and concerns increasingly serve to divert attention and resources away from the important work of the Department in this critical time of a transition of power.”
Mr. Wolf did not address the deadly siege of the Capitol in his letter. Peter T. Gaynor, the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will replace Mr. Wolf as the acting secretary of the Homeland Security Department. He will now be tasked with helping ensure the security of the inauguration of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. The Secret Service, which falls under the Homeland Security Department, is leading the security efforts for the event.
President Trump has overseen a Homeland Security Department that has been riddled with vacancies, creating a revolving door of temporary leaders who faced repeated questions over the legality of their positions. A federal judge in September ruled that Mr. Wolf’s predecessor, Kevin K. McAleenan, likely violated the proper order of succession and he lacked the authority to install Mr. Wolf as acting secretary.
A federal judge in New York agreed in November that Mr. Wolf had not been legally appointed and as a result invalidated his suspension on protections for immigrants known as “Dreamers” brought to the United States as children.
Mr. Wolf emerged as one of Mr. Trump’s more loyal cabinet officials during his time leading the department, becoming the public face of the department’s deployment of federal agents to respond to unwieldy protests in Portland, Ore., around a federal courthouse. Last week, he issued a statement calling on Mr. Trump to condemn the riots at the Capitol."

...your planning to create chaos with fake protestors in stereotyped costumes, and flying in the agitators from all over the country like they have done at other events. You want a scene in the capital. You contact a few sympathetic people in the right position, and oila'. Now personally, i see no reason to say that from what I have seen so far, but if your going down that path, a Trump Deep State wouldn't likely do it in self interest. It's also funny thinking that anyone could believe there would be such loyalty to Trump in DC.
