Multiple European security officials told Insider that President Donald Trump appeared to have tacit support among US federal agencies responsible for securing the Capitol complex in Wednesday's coup attempt. Insider is reporting this information because it illustrates the serious repercussions of Wednesday's events: Even if they are mistaken, some among America's international military allies are now willing to give credence to the idea that Trump deliberately tried to violently overturn an election and had help from some federal law-enforcement agents. "We train alongside the US federal law enforcement to handle these very matters, and it's obvious that large parts of any successful plan were just ignored," one source told us.

The Security Threat Hiding in Plain Sight
How Mob Violence Came to Washington
The armed, pro-Trump mob that stormed Congress Wednesday and violently disrupted the election certification proceedings made the world’s greatest democracy look like a banana republic in the grips of mob rule. Before the violence, the rioters had listened to U.S. President Donald Trump falsely decry a stolen election and then incite them to march on Capitol Hill. However surreal the episode seemed, the even bigger question is whether it represents the dying gasp of a corrupt and lawless administration or a harbinger of future strife. Both may be true.

Pelosi vows to impeach Trump again — if Pence doesn't remove him first
Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif.) said Thursday that Washington policymakers should act immediately to remove President Trump  from office just two weeks before his term ends, citing "seditious" acts related to the president's role in encouraging the assault on the U.S. Capitol a day earlier. Pelosi joined Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y) in calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to oust Trump without delay. Short of that, she said, the House will impeach him for a second time.

Calling the takeover of the Capitol by protesters on Wednesday “domestic terrorism,” Lindsey Graham held a press conference to address the lack of security at the Capitol and to chastise Democrats for not condemning and prosecuting the rioters who burned the country while protesting the death of George Floyd. Unlike Democrats and some Republicans, like Adam Kinsinger, Graham says he does not see the need for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump from office and says that a peaceful transfer of power will happen on January 20. Graham said he enjoyed his relationship with the president and listed many of his stunning accomplishments, including peace in the Middle East, border security, the appointment of judges, and more.

When the history is written about the years 2016-2026, January 6, 2021 will be remembered as a turning point in the war. January 6, 2021 was the day republican leaders solidified their treason and cowardice while defending enemies of the Republic once again.
