And so, none of these alleged insurgents will be charged with a crime?

Why doesn’t someone just come out & say it out loud, THEY ALL GOT THEIR ORDERS FROM TRUMP!!! You don’t have to have much of a education to see what, who, how it went down!!! Someone just needs to be BRAVE ENOUGH to say it out loud

They don’t want to shake that tree because they know their gop reps will fall out

The Proud Boys aren't the problem in this country. Try antifa and the maxist group with initials

How narrow is this “command and control and radio traffic” ... limited to radio?

Yes- bc the fix was in - they wanted the attack to succeed and went out of their way to ensure the police there were outnumbered, under equipped and that reinforcements were not coming for hours We were very lucky- we may not be as lucky next time & there will be another attack!
