Posts falsely cite Pelosi as responsible for security during Capitol insurrection
CLAIM: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is in charge of overseeing the Capitol Police, is responsible for security failures that allowed the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to happen.
THE FACTS: Pelosi does not oversee day-to-day operations of the Capitol Police. But after the deadly riot at the Capitol, social media users began sharing posts that blamed Pelosi for security shortfalls that allowed the building to be breached.
“It was Capitol Police that let the intruders in and it was Capitol police who killed an innocent woman that was on the opposite side of a door from that officer whom we still don’t know the name of,” said one tweet with more than 2,000 likes. “Nancy Pelosi is in charge of Capitol Police NOT Trump.”
Capitol Police are responsible for security on the grounds of the Capitol and protecting Congress, along with the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms.
“No one person oversees USCP -- the oversight apparatus includes representation from the Architect of the Capitol, the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms, as well as committees from both Houses of Congress,” Bee Barnett, director of communications and programs for the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, said in an email."

From my link:
"The FBI and DHS bulletin was published hours later on Tuesday, prompting a new email from Blodgett to lawmakers Wednesday in which he said the Capitol Police had received "new and concerning information and intelligence indicating additional interest in the Capitol for the dates of March 4th – 6th by a militia group."
In a separate statement, Capitol Police said it had obtained intelligence "that shows a possible plot to breach the Capitol by an unidentified militia group on Thursday, March 4."

Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
He's one person, dumbass. From the link:
But on Tuesday, acting House Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett suggested in a message to members of Congress that the significance of the March 4 date had "reportedly declined" in recent days, and the U.S. Capitol Police had "no indication that groups will travel to Washington D.C. to protest or commit acts of violence."
Still, he wrote, there would be additional personnel posted on the Capitol grounds in the coming days as well as the National Guard troops that have been posted in Washington to secure the area since the January 6 riots. A National Guard spokesman said there are roughly 5,200 soldiers and airmen assisting law enforcement with security in and around the U.S. Capitol. The Guard members are set to remain in Washington, D.C., until March 12.
A reduced threat? So instead of the likelihood of a truck bomb on the 4th it went down to a 1 in 10 chance? 1 in 100? What do you suggest Congress should have done with the update two days prior, Ass Lesion?
