It's weird that the committee has no interest in investigating why the House Sargent at Arms and the Senate Sargent at Arms both rejected COP Sunds request for additional support on Jan 4th and then just one day later the Mayor sent out a letter informing the DOD that MPD had it under control and under no circumstances should additional federal support be provided unless the District requested it. One day the MPD asked for help, the next day the City notified the feds not to help.

Every agency in the town refused additional support in the days leading up to it.

And then the completely incompetent dipshits coordinating the LE response ended up requesting Guard support anyway that afternoon after they couldn't handle it.
Good post, Hollohas.
