Secret Commandos With Shoot-to-Kill Authority Were At US Capitol On Jan 6th–Why Was The National Guard Not Called?

By Jacob Palmieri - January 3, 2022




The Palmieri Report previously reported on Trump’s request for 10,000 national guard troops to be stationed outside the US Capitol on January 6th.
Nancy Pelosi asked about lunch.

Now, we have this.
A team of “secret commandos” was deployed on Jan 6th.
This came after a meeting among the heads of a half-dozen elite government special operations teams.
From Newsweek:

On Sunday, January 3, the heads of a half-dozen elite government special operations teams met in Quantico, Virginia, to go over potential threats, contingencies, and plans for the upcoming Joint Session of Congress. The meeting, and the subsequent deployment of these shadowy commandos on January 6, has never before been revealed.

Right after the New Year, Jeffrey A. Rosen, the acting Attorney General on January 6, approved implementation of long-standing contingency plans dealing with the most extreme possibilities: an attack on President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence, a terrorist attack involving a weapon of mass destruction, and a declaration of measures to implement continuity of government, requiring protection and movement of presidential successors.
Rosen made a unilateral decision to take the preparatory steps to deploy Justice Department and so-called “national” forces. There was no formal request from the U.S. Capitol Police, the Secret Service, or the Metropolitan Police Department—in fact, no external request from any agency. The leadership in Justice and the FBI anticipated the worst and decided to act independently, the special operations forces lurking behind the scenes.
…
All of these assets were “pre-deployed” and ready to go over the weekend of January 2-3, staging out of the FBI Academy complex in Quantico, 30 miles south of the Capitol building. If a WMD or terrorist attack occurred, the units were to move via helicopter to the site of the incident. The activation of the catastrophic response units, operating under plans already approved by President Trump, entailed an automatic green light allowing federal responders to take the initiative and spare no resources, including shoot-to-kill authority, to deal with this most extraordinary condition.
The 350-strong Hostage Rescue Team was established in 1983 to be a national level counterterrorist unit, offering a “tactical” option—a military option—for the most extraordinary law enforcement situations within the United States. Prior to 9/11, HRT was primarily a domestic counter-terrorism unit; after the attack, the team took on additional missions, including working with the Joint Special Operations Command overseas in high-profile raids and the targeting of high-value targets.

More:
[COLOR=inherit !important]On the morning of January 6, most of these forces staged closer to downtown Washington, particularly after intelligence was received indicating a possible threat to FBI headquarters building or the FBI’s Washington Field Office. FBI tactical teams arrived on Capitol Hill early in the day to assist in the collection of evidence at sites—including the Republican and Democrat party national headquarters—where explosive devices were found. FBI SWAT teams and snipers were deployed to secure nearby congressional office buildings. Other FBI agents provided selective security around the U.S. Capitol and protection to congressional members and staff.
…
The presence of these extraordinary forces under the control of the Attorney General—and mostly operating under contingency plans that Congress and the U.S. Capitol Police were not privy to—added an additional layer of highly armed responders. The role that the military played in this highly classified operation is still unknown, though FBI sources tell Newsweek that military operators seconded to the FBI, and those on alert as part of the National Mission Force, were present in the metropolitan area. The lingering question is: What was it that the Justice Department saw that provoked it to see January 6 as an extraordinary event, something that the other agencies evidently missed.[/COLOR]
So, the feds thought it would be a good idea to put secret commandoes throughout on Jan 6th but did not decide to share any intelligence with any of the other agencies.
If the worst was expected–why not approve the National Guard to stop it from happening?

As I’ve said repeatedly, Pelosi and Bowser denied National Guard troops bc Capitol and DC police had their marching orders. So too did DOJ/FBI. Thousands of guardsmen would’ve foiled the plot.

Chris Wray lied to Congress. He claimed he wished the FBI had more information about January 6 so it never will happen again--the entire time, he was behind the whole thing. This explains why Wray was the only top official who was MIA on January 5 and 6, according to Kash Patel.

The feds were everywhere on January 6, all over the capital and in the building. Planned ahead to be there all day -- what a cover-up. Hello @JudiciaryGOP time to ask some real questions about FBI involvement in January 6: https://newsweek.com/exclusive-secre...pitol-1661330…

This is why they don't want the public to see the surveillance video. Hundreds of federal agents. "A tactical team of the Hostage Rescue Team was one of the first external federal agencies to actually enter the Capitol after protestors breached the building."

Replying to @julie_kelly2LOL "FBI tactical teams arrived on Capitol Hill early in the day to assist in the collection of evidence at sites—including the Republican and Democrat party national headquarters—where explosive devices were found." Now you know why the "bomber" has never been found or charged

They staged the whole thing at Quantico a few days before. HOW DO REPUBLICANS NOT KNOW THIS? "The leadership in Justice and the FBI anticipated the worst and decided to act independently, the special operations forces lurking behind the scenes."
