When thinking about this whole Jan 6th event.
This has to be some sort of white hat operation.
Let's say for the sake of argument that Trump never told people to come and protest.
They would not have any ammo to remove him from the ballot.
Why did Trump tell people to show up when he knew they would stage a FF?
I am also sure he knew they would use this against him like they are doing now.
Trump did not benefit from the protest. It has only hurt him.
So therefore... it has to be some sort of operation that we will learn about.
I believe Jan 6th was allowed to happen to expose the dems desperate attempts to frame DJT. So, IMHO you are correct that white hats were aware that it was a set-up but in order to show how devious, uncaring, cruel, dishonest, and evil, these people are, it was allowed to play out. Sundance, at the Treehouse presents an explanation that rings true to me. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/01/06/fedsurrection-anniversary-day-they-needed-an-emergency-session/
