In this daily series, Newsweek explores the steps that led to the January 6 Capitol Riot.

All of these assets were"pre-deployed" and ready to go over the weekend of January 2-3, staging out of the FBI Academy complex in Quantico, 30 miles south of the Capitol building. If a WMD or terrorist attack occurred, the units were to move via helicopter to the site of the incident.

Jeffrey Rosen made a unilateral decision to take the preparatory steps to deploy Justice Department and so-called"national" forces. Here, Rosen removes his face mask as he speaks at the Justice Department on October 21, 2020 in Washington, DC. In April 2005, the FBI consolidated its various extraordinary response teams under the National Asset Response Unit , responsible for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The dedicated rapid response force, ready to deploy anywhere in the United States within two hours of notification, reached operational readiness during the Obama administration, with dedicated national response elements from the Department of Energy and augmentation from the military's Joint Special Operations Command.

Nothing in this story warrants a headline. You are talking about groups so shadowy that a cursory google search will give you their salaries, what it takes to become an HRT/SRT special agent, past operations ongoing missions etc. Just stop.

Trump & Trumplicans' BIG LIE aim is to sow the seed of doubt in people's minds so that they slowly begin to distrust almost everything & thru the distrust slowly create a state of chaos & confusion to divert the people's attention away from their intention to tear America apart.

Now is the time to arrest & prosecute Trump and reassert 'the rule of law--' that no one is above the law. To do anything less would only infuse Trump supporters into believing their 'Lost Cause' is justified and 'White privilege' is the rule of law. Arrest & prosecute Trump NOW!

January 6, 2021: Trump 'lead' an insurrection against the United States of America, a date which will live in infamy, remember! And, never ever forget how Trump's Orwellian face was ablaze on large video displays-- showing his abject failure & weakness!

They really want to get to the bottom of this
