I just remembered something odd from January 6.

Does anyone remember when things were getting hot 1 or 2 Men guided or pretty much pulled Senator Charles Grassley forcefully out of the Senate Chambers that day. He looked either confused or acted strange as they were escorting him out of the room when all the sh*t was going down as they paused the counting of the Electoral votes that awful day. I looked for a video of that moment and would like if someone could find it and post it please? I don't know how to do it if I could find that surreal moment if anyone remembers that happening I'd appreciate it? It happened early like around 12 pm or maybe a little earlier I believe. There was something odd about that I noticed at that moment when I saw it and recall it now. Who were those guys and why did they immediately go to him because he was either 3rd or 4th in line of succession for the Presidency?

He was pulled from the Senate Chamber by his police detail. Grassley ( continuity of government) McConnell, Schumer, all have Capitol Police details as does the Speaker, the Majority Leader and Minority Leader in the House. The leadership was all pulled

If something happened to Pence, he would run the show on that day. They were protecting key people and their back-ups in that situation.

Edit: After reading Post #3, I agree.

I thought so all this time? Like they knew or had it all planned out ahead of time to take out Pence in I mean that like hold him somewhere or kill him?

to the Arizona votes. He wasn’t presiding over the counting of the electoral votes. Listen to his voice. He was scared to death. He may have been in on the fix if Pence didn’t show, but seemed shaken by the violence.
