This is my latest from PJ Media. This is the most comprehensive timeline for the January 6th assault of the US Capitol. I’ve seen national magazine attempts and they’ve failed. No one else has invested the time and effort that I and my editor have to nail down the timeline. We feel like we’ve midwifed a baby.

But a timeline is essential. Any lawyer will tell you so.

Mainstream media, which is by default Left, prefer there be a fog and over the events and the timeline so they may overlay whatever malevolent, wrong,  and unfair allegations against President Trump they think they can get away with. Some may be true, but the media undermine their authority when they pick a side.

In fact, there are things he said that mitigated against the claim that he urged people to crash the Capitol Building, scare people, and break things. But could President Trump have stopped it? Our timeline shows the president was still on stage and speaking when the clash at the Capitol started.

Indeed, it’s possible the siege could have been averted had the Capitol Police taken the advice of the FBI and NYPD monitoring the chatter of the QAnon conspiracy theorists planning the assaultand responded with increased security. The lax security was observed by a shocked senior analyst at the Center for Security Policy.

[…]Some suggest that questioning the election results and then holding the rally itself were bad ideas, but President Trump did not urge the crowd to violently overthrow the Capitol Building in his speech. He talked of a …
