More great work by Proof. Two questions. First. What did the Proud Boys et al hope to achieve? Assume most chanting, threats and military garb was posture, did they masquerade as "peaceful" (as per "Tunnel Commander" and DT's late-in-the-day tweets)? Were they told Police compliance was expected? Aim for quicker entry than was achieved? Rapidly fill the building, gridlock, trap legislators in situ, hold citizens assembly, in sufficient numbers to lay siege for days, or at least hold 37 Democrat Reps hostage? Or just a leaderless, chaotic, incompetent, unplanned mess? Older Oath Keepers and Three Percenters at times restrained unruly violent extremists. Second. Why the violent 2.5 hour "Battle in the Tunnel", started after the break-in? What was it for? To bring Pence out for mock reverse inauguration?

Do you think Enrique Tarrio was working as an informant and was picked ahead of time to give him cover not to be at the rally? If so,doesn’t that mean that the government had a better idea how bad this would be than they are letting on?
