How exactly was storming the capital building supposed to overthrow the government???

Especially as they were unarmed...

And mostly peaceful...

I keep hearing that America's democracy was at stake... But I can't quite figure out how???

Personally, I think that when it gets to the point that a president can't walk out the White House gates on his own and shake hands with pedestrians the democracy has already failed... But that's just me...

You were misinformed about being unarmed.

One fellow had a buffalo horns head dress. Those horns looked real dangerous!!

Good question. They wanted to stop the electoral vote certification but that would have happened regardless. Biden still won

It all comes down to the narrative they want to craft. And people fall for it because they don’t really think about it.

It's called intent, mental acuity is irrelevant. Not knowing where your leader lives is nothing to crow about.

No Plans = No Intent. Back to the sandbox for you.

An exclusive report by Reuters says the FBI has found little evidence that the January 6th Capitol attack was the result of an organized plot.

Law enforcement sources tell Reuters that the FBI at this point believes the attack was not coordinated by far-right groups or prominent Trump supporters.
Federal officials have arrested over 570 alleged Capitol rioters, but a senior official said most of those are “one-off cases,” and there was no “grand scheme” to storm the Capitol.
The report said some members of far-right groups like “Oath Keepers” and “Proud Boys” did plan on breaking into the Capitol, but had no serious plans about what to do once they got inside.

“Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases,” said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. “Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages.”

Prosecutors have filed conspiracy charges against 40 defendants, alleging that they engaged in some degree of planning before the attack, but most of the arrests are for felony trespass.

I've read that the FBI now say the Oath Keepers started planning this the day after the election but there is no link to Trump or his administration. Is that right?

This is a big Democrat show to gas light people into believing that Trump tried to overthrow the election results with a "violent " attack and insurrection. The dems know it wasn't. But they need this to be an insurrection to help them politically in Nov next fall.

It's nothing, except a very desperate "Campaign Strategy", fully financed by U.S. Taxpayers.

Collusion, Obstruction, Quid Pro Quo, and Insurrection were nothing but Fake News

Perpetuated by Democrats, and glorified by their Media Masters.

Just relax and wait, the Supreme Court just allowed the release of the records that will let us know.

You are apparently not getting the whole story. There was an intent to kidnap Vice President Pence. When in the Garage Parking Pence refused to get in the car.
Thusly stopping the chances of an overthrow.
Pence being the Certifier of the Electors was a valuable asset in this insurrection.
The Gallows was there for the intimidation factor. Hoping to goad him to the other side.
Funny that ! An incidental patriot. !
Pence .

Exactly right and well stated. The dems have been gaslighting the American public for too many years now.

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

I look forward to it, and also how the dems will lie about the contents. Then they'll come up with more anonymous sources, or just more "sources" or just out right lie as they will continue their gaslighting schiff show.
