Three years ago, people were coming to the capital to take part in a permitted protest against what a large percentage of the American population thought was an election filled with fraud and cheating. Intelligence suggested that bad people were going to do bad things at the protest, and Trump approved local law enforcement to be able to call on the National Guard to maintain order and protect both the protestors and the capitol. Capitol Hill said they didn’t need DOD support to maintain order and did not make the call.
