Former Chief of Capitol Police Raises More Questions About Jan. 6 Security Failures and Pelosi

The Jan. 6 Committee was a completely partisan exercise, the purpose of which was to try to smear President Donald Trump and other Republicans before the election and try to incapacitate Trump from running again. In both endeavors, the Committee lost, since Republicans still took the House and Trump has not been done in, they produced no real evidence against him.

But they also failed in another way. They were so concentrated on their political effort, they haven’t highlighted or resolved the failures of security of that day. The House GOP report noted the security problems. They also explained how what they found blew up House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)’s narrative that she didn’t have any involvement in the security plans. Their report showed Pelosi’s staff was intimately involved in the planning.

Now the former Chief of the Capitol Police Steven Sund is saying that the problems of security have still not been addressed. He said there was a “failure” in the upper ranks of the Capitol Police that left it unprepared and “almost two years after the events of Jan. 6, the department is not in a better place or on a readier footing.” He also pointed to the problems related to Pelosi.
