It may well be that someone with control over these agents in D.C., and part of the attempt to overthrow the election process, is exposed in these texts. The delays in responses to the attack on January 6th need much closer examination.
It may be that the military could be delayed by trump, but it hardly seems likely that the Secret Service could be. Its their JOB to protect Congress. They dont need special permission to do their job, they do need high ranking authority to not do their job.
Something smells hear
cant wait to see who the stench is emanating from.

(115,830 posts)Protection of Congress is the responsibility of the Capitol Police. However, there could have been texts about whether and how the Secret Service would remove Pence from the Capitol and what to do with him. Did Pence's agents know ahead of time what was going to happen, and did they have instructions from TFG to take him away?

(50,303 posts)Pence didn't get in the car on January 6. They would have spirited him away and locked him up somewhere until Trump was installed. There's a reason Trump made a Secret Service agent part of his administration.

(610 posts)I seem to remember that Pence or his SS detail refused to put him in a waiting car that was to take him away from the Capitol building.
Ill have to paraphrase, but it was something like, if Pence got in that car he would end up in Alaska.
