To that end, I have asked Retired Lt. Gen. Russell Honoré to lead an immediate review of security infrastructure, interagency processes and command and control.

He said that he has experience with military support to civilian authorities and specifically the security of the Washington region. Honoré has been outspoken about the attack on Twitter, saying on the day of the breach that it was a “sh-- show.” For the record I served on the joint chief of staff as deputy J3 operations, my job was military support to civil authority. I generally know how this shit supposed to happen today secure the Capital. This was a shit show today the

Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré says Capitol Hill fencing alone will not prevent another attackRetired Lt. General Russel Honoré, who lead a review of security at the US Capitol in the wake of the January 6 riot, said Friday that the fencing surrounding the compound 'will do nothing to prevent another attack' and that the threat to our democracy 'lies within our borders.' Funny how politicians surrond themselves with walls and military but say it's cruel to put them on our borders to keep their citizens safe and prevent the crisis that is currently occurring. No, but might slow things down until enough law enforcement training & preparation, and other defense measures are completely in place. Then the fences can be taken down. The complaints by GQPs are smoke & mirrors and stupid childish games for them to avoid doing real work. en Ecuador y Venezuela también ponen bardas en los edificios públicos
