It is noteworthy that this Ray Epps breach occurs just one minute after Capitol Police began responding to reports of two “pipe bombs” located at DNC and GOP headquarters, respectively. Rather conveniently, the already-handicapped Capitol Police thus had still-fewer resources with which to respond to the barricade breach in question.
I'm not sure this is correct. Why would the Capitol Police respond to these threats? DNC and GOP HQ are not their jurisdiction; not on Capitol ground . This would be Metropolitan Police jurisdiction.
