Hundreds of emails obtained by AP told the frantic story of the Capitol riot Jan. 6. Threats to shut down the water system, the president encouraging protesters toward the Capitol, shots being fired inside. Chaos. FOIA

Five people died in the attack, including a police officer. Two other officers killed themselves after. There were hundreds of injuries and more than 300 people, including members of extremist groups Proud Boys and Oathkeepers, have been charged with federal crimes. Federal agents are still investigating and hundreds more suspects are at large. Justice Department officials have said they may charge some with sedition.

That was almost 90 minutes after the mob first busted into the Capitol and more than an hour after the medics began treating injured police on the steps. The night before the breach, after hours of rallies and speeches across the city, Federal Protective Service officers, who protect federal property, had noticed protesters trying to camp out on federal property and were “being vigilant for any suspicious activity,” according to an email from the agency.At 9:45 a.m. a protective service liaison to the Capitol Police wrote, “Good morning Sir, what I have is the Ellipse is permitted for 30k but they expecting for there to be much more.

In a series of emails that followed, protective service officers messages offered a blow-by-blow account of the march to the Capitol from the rally where Trump spoke. “Shots fired 2nd floor house side inside the capitol,” read a message at 2:45, probably the moment when a Capitol Police officer fatally shot Ashli Babbitt, a Trump supporter who tried to hurl herself through a broken interior window into the Speaker’s Lobby just outside the House chamber where lawmakers were taking cover.

“WE will have some officers out there tonight monitoring in case group shows up,” Janickey wrote. “Hawley and his staff have hired armed private security for next 48 hours.” He added that they were monitoring the deployment closely. The redacted email refers to an early June episode when police from several jurisdictions used tear gas to violently break up a peaceful and legal protest in Lafayette Square, across the street from the White House.

AP must submit this evidence in Rep. Eric Swalwell lawsuit against Trump & his minions.

GOP could not care less, Trump is still their man. Anyone who oppose their leader is being censured. Only a handful have the balls to uphold their promise to the office they hold.

SethAbramson CNN Why isn’t anyone covering the story of the two police officers that committed suicide?

Sparky50732252 This wasn’t a riot. It was an insurrection or an attempted coup. The mob of trump thugs were trying to find VP Pence to HANG him!

The story is careful not to be a lie, but the narrative is.

Trump Taliban. Trump is a domestic terrorist.

you mean when Trump told them to peacefully protest

republicans................!

Just the usual AP lies.

What law enforcement sees bags hid in bushes and doesn't immediately call the bomb squad

You just can't just keep Trump out of the news eh? Why wasn't the AP so concerned when BLM and Antifa was burning and looting the cities down last summer.

FAKE NEWS why is it that AP and media have problem with just reporting the truth
