when I was deputy chief I was routinely made aware of events planned around DC or anywhere we would travel with potus. I’m talking 75-100 person tea party protests. it’s inconceivable the WH did not have intel on the scope of the Jan 6 plans. but it seems....

lindsey Graham’s contention is that the USG had sophisticated enough intelligence to get Bin Laden but knew nothing about a violent protest being planned? oh but they did bc the WH agreed to attend and help plan! so they willfully did not inform MPD or put the Guard on alert...

so — kind of like you know a fire is coming but instead of telling the fire dept you actually just go ahead and turn off the water and hide the extinguishers.

so lindsey and pals — if you’re gonna do whatever you think trump wants you to do - be proud! say “I love you Donald!!” And vote no. But don’t try and impugn the integrity of the entire federal government and the Cap Police you fucking assholes

I mean the protesters MADE MERCH for the event!!!

I know there is nothing profound or revelatory in this thread but I’ve had a persistent headache from shouting at myself in the car while I listen and I just needed to say it out loud (on twitter)
