Feds and capitol police opened the gates for the protesters. In regards to Whitmer, without the feds inciting the idiots in the group, none of this happens. A federal jury already failed to convict several members, so the "justice" system is going to keep retrying until they succeed. This is all a sham.

They opened the gates because they didn't have enough forces to hold the gates. The videos where the gates were overrun instead show quite clearly what the alternative was. The gates were pushed over and police assaulted. You won't find any evidence of a superior force opening the gates. One commonly shown video of an officer waving protestors past was actually him signalling for other officers to pull out of the crowd and the officers were clearly outnumbered in that situation. I really have a hard time with comments like these. It's hard to believe it's just ignorance nearly two years later.

  It's a shame that the original live streams and clips, and the accounts that posted them, have been banned or deleted since then, but I know what I watched that day, and I know how police actually respond to a real riot. January 6th was a bunch of people with unbreakable faith (some still even after) to a grifter of a magnitude not seen in this country for as long as I'm aware of. He told them to go to the capitol, and that he would go with them. I watched as a horde of people were practically escorted around, having barriers and gates opened up for them, and police allowing protestors to take selfies with them. After that, the man who told his followers to go to the capitol couldn't even muster any support or pardons for them. If you are going to say that there was no federal collusion here, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
