re: #20 Backwoods_Sleuth

I think that tfg wanted to use his Secret Service Detail (SS) to break the the perimeter of the Capitol Police. The Capitol Police (CP) would have a hard time trying to stop tfg and the SS, particularly in the middle of a riot. And the CP couldn’t and most likely wouldn’t use force to stop him from entering.

Such an action would likely collapse the CP and open up the Capitol building to tfg’s rioters led by Proud Boy and Oathkeeper militias. Many of whom were armed. These folks had every intention of hunting down and killing Democratic Congress folks and their staffs.

At that point, Pence was irrelevant. And, of course, he would likely be a casualty as well.
