Confirmed: A 'stand down' order was given Capitol Police for the January 6 'insurrection'
Internal investigation shreds Congress for failing to respond to warnings given days before the demonstrations that resulted in a brief occupation of the Capitol

ACV can now confirm what many political observers have been sayingfor months about the Capitol riots: It was pre-planned, the Capitol Police knew it was coming, and authorities effectively gave a ‘stand down’ order.
A new 104-page report dropped by an internal investigator shreds authorities, particularly the House and Senate sargents-at-arms for intentionally hampering the police response on what has subsequently been claimed by Fascist Democrats and their state-run media was a “coup,” an “insurrection,” and an attempt to “overturn” the results of the 2020 election.
That story is yet another example of the Fascist Big Lie, of which many are being touted these days. It could be compared to Hitler arranging for the Reichstag to be burned in 1933 as an excuse to arrest and jail dozens of communist members of the German legislature and effectively disolve the body.
As to the fake “insurrection,” the Inspector General of the Capitol Police laid bare all of the disturbing issues involved with the way security was mishandled for the January 6 Electoral College vote during a joint session of Congress.
The new report, prepared by the Capitol Police’s internal watchdog, found that department leaders overlooked key intelligence in the run-up to the riot on January 6, including a warning that ‘Congress itself is the target.’ Those officials also barred the Capitol Police force’s riot response unit from using its most powerful crowd-control measures.
The document, titled “Review of the Events Surrounding the January 6, 2021, Takeover of the U.S. Capitol,” is the most damning information yet regarding the lapses and miscalculations around the most violent attack on the Capitol in two centuries. It adds significant new detail not unearthed in congressional hearings and is likely to inform a coming overhaul of the agency promised by lawmakers.
Capitol Police inspector general Michael A. Bolton went on to criticize the way the Capitol Police prepared for and responded to the mob violence on January 6. The report was reviewed by several members of the media. It was scheduled to be discussed Thursday at a closed Capitol Hill hearing.
At the second Trump impeachment trial, it was revealed that Congress had been warned by the now-resigned Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund an attack from extremists was coming days before the uprising. House impeachment manager Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), a non-voting member of the House as a delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands, revealed the explosive information on the second day of the Senate trial.

“The day before the rioters stormed the Congress, an FBI office in Virginia also issued an explicit warning that extremists were preparing to travel to Washington to commit violence and, quote, ‘war,’ according to internal reports,” she said.
“Leading up to the event there were hundreds, hundreds of posts online showing that his supporters took this as a call to arms to attack the Capitol,” she continued. “There were detailed posts of plans to attack online. Law enforcement warned that these posts were real threats and even made arrests days leading up to the attack.”
Rep. Maxine Waters also revealed in an exclusive interview just after the capitol building uprising she warned the capitol police chief days prior to the attack:
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said … Sund ignored warnings that an attack by domestic terrorists was imminent days before insurrectionists imposed their will and overtook the hallowed government building on Jan. 6.
“First of all, to the families of those who died, they need to sue the U.S. government because the Capitol Police and others who had the responsibility of organizing security for this event failed,” she claimed.
“Either they are incompetent, or they lied, or they’re complicit,” Waters claimed. “This is a very complicated combination of individuals and operations that I think played a role in this attack on our Capitol.”
Sund, forced to resign under heavy pressure from Democrats, fired back a response to Speaker Pelosi. It undercuts the Democrats’ narrative that there were no requests made for heavier security. In fact, Sund claimed, the Congress was warned six times before the Capitol riots, and yet, the House and Senate Sergeant at Arms, also both resigned, failed to act upon those requests.
But a “secret history” of the 2020 campaign reveals that radical organizations, major corporations, and party operatives assessed that there would likely be a riot if Trump lost and they could blame the president for ‘inciting’ it. A Time article laid it out:
On March 3, 2020, [Mike} Podhorzer [a senior advisor to the AFL-CIO president] drafted a three-page confidential memo titled “Threats to the 2020 Election.” In it, he wrote, “Trump has made it clear that this will not be a fair election, and that he will reject anything but his own re-election as ‘fake’ and rigged,” he wrote. “On Nov. 3, should the media report otherwise, he will use the right-wing information system to establish his narrative and incite his supporters to protest.”
Podhorzer is widely believed to be the architect of the suspected election fraud that delivered a ‘victory” for Biden in the middle of wee hours of the morning November 4.
Major General William J. Walker, the commanding general of the D.C. National Guard, confirmed many of Americans’ worst suspicions about the January 6 Capitol riots in his explosive Senate testimony in early March. The National Guard had been prevented from providing ample security due to what he described as concerns about “optics.”
Speaker Pelosi’s role in calling the shots on Congressional security was confirmed by the now-resigned House Sergeant at Arms. It is clear that the Fascist Democrats knew that there would be an explosive situation outside the Electoral College as early as March of 2020. More than likely, they organized it. Despite denials and refusals to comment from various agencies, ACV has confirmed multiple times that Antifa and BLM members were involved, disguising themselves as Trump supporters.
It is now indisputable that the Capitol Police and National Guard were told not to do their jobs by effectively being issued “stand down” orders. Without a doubt the “insurrection” of January 6 was a false flag operation of the Fascist Democrat Party.
