It seems much of the delay in response was not to provoke Trump into declaring the insurrection act. Much of the tiptoeing around appears to be the civil service trying to keep Trump from doing this. Perhaps they figured it wouldn't be as bad as it was and that those entering the building had no plan and no path to win.

I'm glad it turned out like it did though and they were not mowed down on the capitol steps, nothin could discredit Trump, the republicans and his supporters more than the attack on the capitol, at least among patriotic Americas. It was a singular event that cost the republicans the support of millions and tens of thousands left the party over it, distilling the lunatics down even further. The democrats are about to present a replay with lot's of drama that is sure to attract a lot of winter TV viewers home because of covid, primetime. Next it will be replayed when the underlings making deals and insurrectionists will be on trial this summer and fall, right up to election day. They all have to wear the Qanon shaman's horned fur hat now, the lunatic was the public image of them and the event.

Whether it makes a difference in November remains to be seen, the democrats need all the help they can get.

If it really repelled millions, but only tens of thousands (1%) left the party, what of the other 99%? Mismatch sort of hurts the millions thing.

So a day before Trump's Big Cryfest?

Boy, that will give Trump a lot to whine about. I wonder if the timing is at all an accident.

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection is requesting the voluntary cooperation of Fox News host Sean Hannity, saying it has information that indicates Hannity had relevant communications with former president Donald Trump and some White House staff leading up to the Capitol siege and in the days afterward.

In a letter to Hannity Tuesday, the heads of the committee wrote that they were in possession of material that suggested Hannity “had advance knowledge regarding President Trump’s and his legal team’s planning for January 6th.”

That information also showed Hannity expressed concerns and provided advice to Trump and White House staff members about that planning, wrote Reps. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the chair and vice chair of the committee.

“You also had relevant communications while the riot was underway, and in the days thereafter,” they wrote. “These communications make you a fact witness in our investigation.”

According to the letter, the panel already has dozens of text messages that Hannity sent to and received from former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

For example, according to the committee letter, Hannity texted Meadows on Dec. 31, 2020: “We can’t lose the entire WH counsels office. I do NOT see January 6 happening the way he is being told. After the 6 th. [sic] He should announce will lead the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. Go to Fl and watch Joe mess up daily. Stay engaged. When he speaks people will listen.”

“Among many other things, this text suggests that you had knowledge of concerns by President Trump’s White House Counsel’s Office regarding the legality of the former President’s plans for January 6th,” Thompson and Cheney wrote. “These facts are directly relevant to our inquiry.”

Hannity also apparently sent and received a stream of texts the night before the insurrection, including one to Meadows that said he was “very worried about the next 48 hours” and another that read: “Pence pressure. WH counsel will leave.”

“What communications or information led you to conclude that White House Counsel would leave?” Thompson and Cheney wrote.
“What precisely did you know at that time?”

The bipartisan House panel is investigating the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob trying to stop the confirmation of Joe Biden’s electoral college win, an attack that resulted in five deaths and injured about 140 members of law enforcement.

Thompson and Cheney closed by asking Hannity to preserve all records of the relevant communications and to provide the committee the name of his counsel. They emphasized that they were not seeking information about broadcasts of his Fox News show or his political views.

“We have no doubt that you love our country and respect our Constitution,” they wrote. “Now is the time to step forward and serve the interests of your country. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.”

Jan. 6 panel releases Hannity texts, asks for cooperation
In a letter to Hannity, the panel reviewed five communications sent by the conservative commentator among dozens in the committee’s possession, including previously unreleased texts they argue show he "had advance knowledge regarding President Trump’s and his legal team’s planning for January 6th."

On Dec. 31, Hannity appeared to express concern over losing support from the White House legal counsel while relaying his advice to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows.

“We can’t lose the entire WH counsels office. I do NOT see January 6 happening the way he is being told. After the 6 th. He should announce will lead the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. Go to Fl and watch Joe mess up daily. Stay engaged. When he speaks people will listen,” Hannity wrote that night.

The panel also questioned Hannity about "a stream of texts" he sent and received on Jan. 5, the night before the riot.

"You wrote: ‘Im very worried about the next 48 hours.’ With the counting of the electoral votes scheduled for January 6th at 1 p.m., why were you concerned about the next 48 hours?” the committee asked in its letter.

Newsmax to Air 'Day of Outrage' for Jan. 6 Anniversary
New York, New York--Newsmax is pleased to announce that its new documentary “Day of Outrage” will premiere Wednesday at 9 p.m. Eastern -- the eve of the first anniversary of Jan. 6.

See trailer here.

“Day of Outrage” was produced by Newsmax to accurately and fairly detail the events related to the Capitol siege of Jan. 6.

The film includes powerful video footage of the protests and riots that took place on that fateful day, as well as a careful examination of events that led up to it.

Unbridled violence across the nation, a disputed election, distrust of the mainstream media and a sense that hypocrisy was everywhere among elected officials – all these elements helped set in motion the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

In the aftermath of this day -- when laws were clearly broken and behavior was at best uncivil and at worst violent -- the media and Democratic politicians have advanced a disputed narrative of “insurrection.”

“Jan. 6 started as a peaceful protest that became unruly and at times violent,” says Jack Thomas Smith. “But it was not an insurrection. The protesters didn’t seek to overthrow the government and did not bring firearms into the Capitol.”

Smith notes that acts of violence did occur and says the film makes clear that the people who committed crimes that day “should be held accountable for their actions.”

It makes sense and gets it off his desk, it's a job made for an independent special counsel and one is required. Appoint a former republican patriot who hates their guts, a real fire breather.
