Wow The DHS launched a failed op that ensnared hundreds, if not thousands, of US protesters in what new docs show was as a sweeping, power-hungry effort bef the 2020 election to bolster TFG’s spurious claims abt a “terrorist org” he accused his Democratic rivals of supporting.

I really think that the Jan. 6th insurrection, really was an attempted coup.
But DJT's reichstag fire was thwarted by actual American Patriots like DC Police Officer Eugene Goodman.
In leading the insurgents away from the Senate chamber, Goodman saved the lives of many.

The killing of Democrat politicians and Vice President Pence, were all part of the larger plan.
DJT saw Pence's refusal to do his wishes in overturning the election results as a betrayal.
