A person who knows large event security has some thoughts about the lack of preparation and execution of security on January 6, 2021 at the Capitol.

Let's take a moment and catch our breath with this change of pace.

I vowed I would not longer use the term "BabyDick" anymore if Liz Cheney voted to impeach Trump.

There are four data points from the days surrounding last week's insurgency worth keeping an eye on as we try to figure out whether Trump planned in advance for such a riot.

Rudy Giuliani has remained the worst influence on Donald Trump for years: and the one accounting of such threats to the Presidency -- the SSCI Russian Report -- barely touched on his role.

It has been a hell of a fun first few months, er week, of 2021. So, with no further adieu, lets get to the ball.

When this whole Transition process started, Trump had Pat Cipollone and Bill Barr around to help him through his many legal woes. Now, his post-election antics have drove both of them away.

The place to start an investigation into whether Trump planned to use the insurgency on Wednesday to delay the certification of the election until after Rudy Giuliani could try to float more hoaxes is not with Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz. It's with Tommy Tuberville, with the added benefit that his involvement precedes the time when he had the formal protections of a Senator.

Bill Barr keeps issuing statements condemning the insurrection yesterday. But he bears part of the blame for it, since last year he treated incitement to such violence a technicality.
