The followings is an excerpt from Just the News.
A month after the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi deflected any suggestion she or her staff could have influenced the security that failed that day when the Capitol building was breached.
“I have no power over the Capitol Police,” she declared.
Two years later, that claim is directly challenged by contemporaneous text and email messages made public by five House Republicans showing her staff had direct contact with the officials who planned the security and even edited some of the plans and notifications in the fateful days before tragedy struck.
The revelations, released Wednesday in a House GOP report obtained by Just the News, are prompting serious questions about whether the Jan. 6 Capitol breach could have been prevented while creating a new push for Republicans to summon Pelosi for testimony after they take over the House next month
“January 6 should have never happened,” Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas), one of the authors of the report, told Just the News on Wednesday night.
“The reason there wasn’t a proper security presence on that day goes right to the Speaker’s staff and the Speaker’s office,” added Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the soon-to-be-chairman of the House Judiciary Committee:
The Republican report — which also included the work of Reps. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) and Kelly Armstrong — provided a meticulous, fact-based recounting of how Pelosi’s staff began meeting and communicating with security planners in the House Sergeant at Arms office in early December 2020, continuing all the way through the final 48 hours before the attacks.
Those communications were occurring as Capitol Police began receiving detailed intelligence that extremist groups were discussing storming the Capitol, attacking lawmakers, targeting the tunnels beneath the complex and blocking the planned certification of the 2020 election results.
Capitol Police whistleblowers told the congressmen there were ample and detailed warnings that violence would occur on Jan. 6, but the leadership of the Capitol Police failed to adjust the security plan to address the threat while the political leadership in Congress repeatedly refused to provide resources to secure the building.
The Capitol Police issued a statement Wednesday night that did not challenge any of the findings of the report, but rather vowed to accelerate changes to improve security.
“For nearly two years our officers, officials and civilian employees have been working around the clock to address many of these findings and similar findings from a series of post January 6 reviews we value everyone’s input and we are confident the U.S. Capitol Complex is more secure because of the hard work of our brave men and women and because of the resources provided by the Congress to turn recommendations into results,” the department said.
Pelosi’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

The whole thing was a setup. And I can’t believe how many people fell for it. When the capitol police urged them to go in my gosh you should’ve known better!
Well, looks like Tucker Carlson is exposing a lot of the ‘rubbish’ the committee tried to hide. Stay tuned…
That is why Ray Epps was there.
I ALWAYS trust Sharyl’s findings to be reliably factual and/or true. She’s wonderful.
I agree wholeheartedly. One of the few trustworthy names in journalism.
Sharyl is the best. I hope she reads the work of a young up and comer, Whitney Webb in her tour de force 2 volumes “one nation under blackmail”.
did the bear crap where the buckwheat grows?
of course the dems are guilty
God Bless and Happy New Year!! I pray for a change in the Dem’s thought pattern’s and actions , not my Daddy’s Dem’s!! and if not , I hate to say, I don’t see a peaceful end to this way of governing!! Not crazy about Democracy anyway ! can’t see that what is being done by this administration in any way is going to “improve” America ” and why would the 49% be happy with the 51% if their basically destroying what is “sane”???? I’m not a Republican or a Democrat , I think that everyone should be able to vote for the best leaders to improve out Country in everyway and only the deaf, dumb and idiot can’t see the direction that chosen paths are leading towards! Just my opinion and the country is full of them?? LOL!!
Keep up the Great Work!! Lies hide from truth ! like Darkness from the Light!!
Yes, January 6 should never have happened, but the riot and storming of the Capital did. I am no fan of Nancy but trying to put the blame on her is an attempt at distraction. DJT is guilty of starting it all!
Disagree. IMHO, after the GOP inquiries and the ‘smoke clears’, there will be proof enough that Pelosi and her cohorts were the root cause of what looks and sounds like a mostly staged event. Let’s wait and see…
Yes, but only because the plan to storm originated with Pelosi and her ilk and implemented by the same.
The question implies that the intrusion was planned and implemented by someone other than Pelosi and her ilk and that they were just dis-interested observers.
I do not re-call the last time violence emanated from Republicans and my memory goes back to the 1950s.
The Democrats are the only ones that benefited from the Jan 6 travesty.
I maintain that the Certification that was supposed to occur on Jan 6 was intended by the Founders as a check on Electoral Fraud because the authority to Certify implied the authority to not certify.
The Founders erred in that they could not comprehend the corruption and cowardice of members of Congress. The Founders could not conceive the the partisan corruption of the Press. That proven by the Constitutional protections given the Press by the 1st Amendment.
I will end my comment here, so you can reflect on what I just wrote. If you cannot formulate my rationale, let me know and I will present my case.
Only one question I want to have answered:
WHO OPENED THE DOORS that cannot be opened except from the inside?!?!
We’ve seen the video of the guy trying to open them from the inside but they are locked. He then looks up to the security cameras as if to say “Doors are locked” and then they open. It ain’t rocket science! WHO has the authority to open those doirs?
IMO – History will show that the only thing Trump was guilty of was not being steamrolled, cancelled or intimidated by the Press and others who tried to sabotage him from the get-go.
