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.

Here's another quetsion you don't ask............

Things like who was responsible to protect a building is.....excuse me..........stupid and meant to divert the issue to something that is meaningless.

The question is ....who created the coup with armed people to go to the Capital to destroy it? It would not have needed to be "protected" in the beginning if the president had not instructed his armed followers to go attack it. Per Federal Rico laws if a mafia leader.....or boss of any kind...tells those under him to commit a crime...HE is just as guilty as they are.

Why would a president of the United States completely disregard his oath.......his duty to protect the laws of the land......and incite a group of armed people to make a last ditch effort to overthrow the government of the United States ...FOR HIM....after he had been foiled in every other attempt, he had tried to try to stay in power....unless his only goal was to end up an unelected dictator??

And since that is the case..............why is trump not being immediately charged with treason and the collateral damage of the death of at least one police officer......and one rioter.......in the process?

@anythingoes477 “ ....who created the coup with armed people to go to the Capital to destroy it? It would not have needed to be "protected" in the beginning if the president had not instructed his armed followers to go attack it.”

Armed? There is zero evidence of demonstrators having firearms. The only death was Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed military veteran shot by a capitol cop. Do you have evidence of Trump instructing anyone to do anything other than to stay calm and non-violent?

DUUUDE!!! There are other kinds of arms!!!!

But a review of the federal charges against the alleged rioters shows that they did come armed, and with a variety of weapons: stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and flagpoles wielded as clubs. An additional suspect also allegedly planted pipe bombs by the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican parties the night before the riot and remains at large.

@redredred You're not really believing that no one had firearms present, are you? Even you couldn't be that stupid. What about the people who have already pleaded guilty to firearms charges? Additional people have also pleaded guity to using deadly or dangerous weapons.

So much for your "zero evidence" for armed insurrectionists. You really need to stop watching that right wing disinformation source you love. It is just making you look even more stupid.

@redredred No, there were 5 deaths. Four injured later died.

@hartfire I meant by armed people. Two cops later committed suicide, not all that uncommon for cops and officer Sicknick died of a stroke. One demonstrator died of a heart attack, another by a stroke and one got trampled.

@anythingoes477 you forgot to add
Why is he allowed another chance to do it all over again?
