The video shows security staff were not positioned everywhere they should have been. Some parking garage elevators to the hotel were not guarded thus allowing weapons to be brought into the vicinity.

I'll speculate that deep down many (ALL?) dems and rinos are hoping that the agents - and all of the other folks who ain't getting paid (USCG for one) will either not do their sworn duty or turn on the DJT admin in some fashion. Seems to me there really can't be any other reason for their antics. Unlike CONgress critters, those of us who took the oath to 'protect and defend' stand by that oath. Show me I'm wrong.
