    I agree you don’t want to compromise any security info, but this is the last, last, last, last line of defence. If it gets to that point you had several colossal fuck ups that all aligned. What happened on Jan 6 was an ad hoc defence from the scattered mess that happened to be around (and which did not actively open the doors to “protestors”).

    I edited my first comment, you have FBI operations, wire tapping, infiltrations, etc. Security starts way before it gets to the Capitol grounds.

    As for Trump, he’ll start the hunt way before Jan 6.

      Your logic is like a like that of a Bond villain. Sure I revealed the evil plan to the one guy who can stop me, but he was totally tied to a laser beam table about to be sawed in half. But what ends up happening every time? The guy gets out of the laser beam table and stops the villain’s plans, none of which would’ve been known if they would’ve just shut up.

        It’s more like knowing there are layers. It’s like a construction hard hat being the absolute last safety measure, not the first. It won’t save you from a huge beam falling on your head. Instead you have safety plans to make sure that doesn’t happen in the first place.

        What revealed here is like an ad hoc hard hat. It’s not the layers and layers of security before that.
