Capitol Demonstration Question

Here’s a question no one is asking. Why was Trump, leader of the Executive branch, responsible for protecting the Capitol, the home of the Legislative branch? Why aren’t Schumer and Pelosi on the hook for protecting the Capitol? It’s their office building.

From what I understand everyone knew there was an elevated threat that day. Hell, there were FBI agents there who were trying to blend in with the crowd. . Pelosi had the authority to call for additional law enforcement and the National Guard, Trump didn't. They waited, even after they knew things were getting out of hand. Now the million dollar question is were they really this stupid or were they already thinking it could somehow be spun to their advantage. Clearly the Jan 6 hearings aren't about getting to the bottom of what happened.
