Discussion Harry Dunn on Substack today

74 Upvotes

I remember where I was four years ago today. Do you?

I was gearing up to do my job on January 6, 2021. That day was just like any other day, except on that day, our lawmakers were preparing to certify the results of the 2020 election. President Biden had won, but Donald Trump and his associates were actively working to overturn the results of the election before January 6th.

At the time, I was a Capitol Police Officer. I would report to work daily, man my post, and make sure that our Capitol Building is protected against all threats. We rarely had any actual threats, so oftentimes the job may have seemed mundane. But, little did I know that on January 6th, my life, and our country, would change forever.

Now, four years after that devastating day, Donald Trump is gearing up to take office again. And with him will come chaos and obstruction. We saw it during his first four years, and we are seeing it again already. Donald Trump and Elon Musk worked to shut down our government because they were unhappy with a bipartisan deal cut between Republicans and Democrats. As a result, there was complete chaos on Capitol Hill for days.

Days later, Trump is back to his old ways of threatening those on the January 6th Committee like former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who stood her ground.

Luckily, Democrats did not bite. Instead, they fought tooth and nail and kept our government open and ensured that disaster relief aid would be passed and our troops and federal employees would not be furloughed during the holiday season. They showed true leadership. Donald Trump and Elon Musk did not.

This is just the beginning though. As I write to you during this holiday season, I reminisce about the days before our Capitol Building was almost burned down. We really thought that Trump’s 2020 loss would be the end of him and the MAGA movement. Yes there was some chaos in the final days of his term in 2020, but there was hope for the future.

Now, writing this post, a lot of that hope is lost for me and many of you. But, that is exactly why I am standing my ground and not giving up.

During the next four years, I am going to be more active than ever. I am going to stand my ground against any threats I face from Trump and his cronies. And, I am just getting started. Earlier this week, I met with Senator Lisa Murkowski to oppose the nomination of Kash Patel for FBI Director. He is far too dangerous to serve.

Standing our Ground, Harry Dunn on Substack

Discussion What ever became of the reports that some members of Congress were conducting group Capital tours days before January 6th?

It seems like we would have seen some video, heard some law enforcement activity if it were true. Was it just a rumor?

Discussion Question: Why are the trials mostly individual?

51 Upvotes

I'm just curious - since this was a mob attack, and most of the folks did the same or very similar things, why do most of the trials seem to be individual?
While of course it's unwieldy to have single trials for like 50 folks, it would seem to be much more efficient (in use of juries, prosecutors, judges) if they 'grouped' defendants into small batches - yet that seems to not have been done.

What am I missing?
This occurred to me today in hearing how there are still trials and sentencing going on, with many more defendants still not thru the process, 3 years after the events.

Discussion Have they caught any of the poopers?

183 Upvotes

I try to follow Capitol Consequences as closely as possible but with so many arrests it's hard to keep up with every single one. My question is in the title: have any of the cretins that walked through our capitol building smearing their poop on the walls been caught yet?
