Congress needs to hear glass breaking, doors being kicked in, and blood from their BLM and Pantifa slave soldiers being spilled. Get violent. Stop calling this a march, or rally, or a protest. Go there ready for war. We get our President or we die. NOTHING else will achieve this goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The memo contradicts FBI statements indicating that they received no warning of plans for a riot at the Capitol \u2014 and the memo likely should have prompted a more significant response from Capitol Police.<\/p>\n<p>Sund told lawmakers Tuesday that he saw no memo and had no warning of what was being planned.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/capitol-attacks-jan-6-hearing-senate-oversight-dcb74608-4dc4-4c15-8f39-8bfa459b67c7.html\">Axios reports that<\/a> \u201cSund testified that he just learned in the past 24 hours that his department had received the report from the FBI on the evening of Jan. 5. Sund said a member of the intelligence division at USCP did review the memo \u2014 but that \u2018it didn\u2019t go any further than that\u2019 and that Sund himself had not seen it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sund also told lawmakers that he believes those coordinating the Capitol attack prepared for weeks in advance, because they came to the rally armed and ready for battle, and because they seemed to have studied the Capitol security strategy, looking for weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese people came specifically with equipment. You\u2019re bringing climbing gear to a demonstration, explosives, chemical spray \u2013 you\u2019re coming prepared,\u201d Sund said. \u201cThe fact that the group attacked our West Front 20 minutes before the event at the Ellipse ended \u2013 they were planning on our agency not being at full strength at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The attackers may have also used two pipe bombs as a distraction, Sund noted. Capitol police, he said, were \u201cdealing with two pipe bombs, specifically set right off the edge of our perimeter to draw resources away\u201d when rioters breached the Capitol building.<\/p>\n<p>Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department acting chief Robert Contee backed up Sund\u2019s claims, telling Senators that the rioters used \u201chand signals\u201d to communicate during the assault.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI certainly believe it was coordinated,\u201d Contee said.<\/p>\n<p>The hearings on the January 6th Capitol attack are expected to go on for several days, and the agencies testifying are expected to point fingers at each other, effectively sharing the blame for the breakdown in security that lead to the death of five people and dozens of injuries.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
