“I also wish we had better intelligence and warnings as the possibility of this type of military-style armed insurrection. The entire intelligence community seems to have missed this.”
The timing of the breach,12:52 PM, is notable because President Trump did not conclude his speech until about 1:13 PM, making it impossible that the group that breached the Capitol did so under the former president’s direction. The fact that President Trump’s speech was given about 20-30 minutes’ walking distance from the Capitol makes it even less likely that his words caused the insurrection.

Just an aside but did anyone know the flag pic in Q4949 (posted Nov 3 2020), World's largest free-flying American flag was torn in half by Wisconsin storm on June 2, 2020. Strikes me as a ominous omen given what transpired 5 months later.

Where did that date come from?
I think maybe we all need to stop tossing random WAG dates out there...

It would be interesting to see the back of Pence's suburban. The reason I say that is because Biden's doesn't appear to have a .fed license plate and I'll bet that Pence's does.

I found the original Biden clip HERE. Here's a screengrab of Biden's plates -
Also, a clearer side shot -
The window glass looks more legit here, that still doesn't explain the dirt and smudging all over that SUV. Another thing, I've never seen a Secret Serviceman in baggy jeans and brown loafers!
You are correct. We shouldn't throw random dates out there...

The USCP does not have the manpower, the training, or the capabilities to handle an armed insurrection
Recently, there have been reports claiming that President Trump had offered ten thousand National Guard troops to be in DC on January 6th, but those offers went ignored. According to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, “That accountability needs to rest where it ultimately should be and that’s on Capitol Hill.”
The first 150 members of the National Guard were not sworn in on Capitol grounds until 5:40 p.m., four and a half hours after I first requested them and three and a half hours after my request was approved by the Capitol Police Board. I still cannot fathom why in the midst of an armed insurrection, which was broadcast worldwide on television, it took the Department of Defense over three hours to approve an urgent request for National Guard support.
Finally, I must add that I wish that before placing the blame on the USCP and on me as the Chief for the breach of the Capitol by an insurrectionist mob, more consideration would have been given to the impact of incomplete information provided by intelligence assessments, the denied National Guard request, and the subsequent delayed approval for National Guard assistance. Again, I do not believe that the U.S. Capitol Police failed.
