The man is a deranged sociopath who would say or do ANYTHING to remain in power. And he got loyalists in the Secret Service to help with his murderous coup plot.
Let's not forget that Lauren Boebert provided the mob with real-time updates on Nancy Pelosi's whereabouts while they were breaching the Capitol Building.
Her first tweet let them know We were locked in the House Chambers. then The Speaker has been removed from the chambers.
The Secret Service failed to prepare for violence on Jan. 6 despite receiving explicit warnings, then deleted key evidence. The delay in notifying Capitol Police about the threat to Pelosi only adds to the impression that the agency failed to do its job.

On January 4, Secret Service agents discovered a Parler account, which weve chosen not to name, posting a series of violent threats towards lawmakers. Other profiles with the same name appeared on Twitter, MeWe, Bitchute, Youtube and Facebook.
On December 31, the account posted, January 6 starts #1776 all over again Fight for EVERYTHING and listed Enemies, including Pelosi. At 5:55 pm on January 6, after hours of defending the United States Capitol from a violent mob, the United States Capitol Police received the post along with a message from the Secret Service:
Good afternoon, The US Secret Service is passing notification to the US Capitol Police regarding discovery of a social media threat directed toward Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The language used by the account, as weve now seen repeated in recordings released by the January 6th Committee, is a clear call for a violent overthrow of the American government on January 6, 2021.

(60,300 posts)With Pence and Speaker Pelosi "unavailable" - the next person in line was the president pro tempore of the senate. Grassley. Same guy who tweeted that HE was going to be presiding over the certification because Pence would not be there.
