==Security refused==
In an interview with [[Washington D.C.]] police chief Steve Sund, ''[[Washington Post]]'' reported the chief “believes his efforts to secure the premises were undermined by a lack of concern from House and Senate security officials who answer directly to Speaker [[Nancy Pelosi]] and Senate leader [[Mitch McConnell]].” ''WaPo'' reported, “Two days before Congress was set to formalize President-elect [[Joe Biden]]’s victory, Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund was growing increasingly worried about the size of the pro-Trump crowds expected to stream into Washington in protest. To be on the safe side, Sund asked House and Senate security officials for permission to request that the D.C. National Guard be placed on standby in case he needed quick backup. But, Sund said Sunday, they turned him down.” D.C. Mayor [[Muriel Bowser]]'s chief of staff admitted, “this guy is on the phone, I mean, crying out for help. It’s burned in my memories.”<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/breaking/ex-capitol-police-chief-says-pelosi-mcconnells-sergeants-at-arms-refused-security-measures-while-new-timeline-proves-trump-incitement-claims-bogus/</ref>

Among the deaths reported out of the incident include [[Ashli Babbitt]], a veteran [[United States Air Force]] intelligence officer from [[California]] allegedly shot and killed by Capitol Police.<ref>Two references:

===Fake news===
''[[The New York Times]]'' initially reported that U.S. [[Capitol Police]] Officer Brian Sicknick was “bludgeoned by a fire extinguisher.” The Democrat House Impeachment Trial Memorandum named President Trump liable for “insurrectionists” that “killed a Capitol police officer by striking him in the head with a fire extinguisher.” [[CNN]] later reported that there was no fire extinguisher at all. The pathologist who performed the autopsy claimed Sicknick did not die from blunt trauma force. Sicknick in fact texted his brother the evening after the riot to tell him he was fine and “in good shape.”<ref>https://www.propublica.org/article/officer-brian-sicknick-capitol</ref>
The next day the Sicknick family began getting phone calls from reporters that Sicknick had been declared dead. However, as it turned out, Sicknick was not dead yet.<ref>https://archive.fo/yaDbS</ref> One hour later, as Sicknick’s family rushed to the hospital to see what they believed was Officer Sicknick fighting for his life, the US Capitol Police issued a further statement that Sicknick now was dead. Sicknick's brother had been told Brian collapsed inside the Capitol building, then was rushed to the hospital.<ref>https://archive.fo/BfdiT</ref> But the US Capitol Police’s statement told a different story: Brian had returned to his office at the police division first.
Sometime apparently between Sicknick being fine, healthy, and back in his office on Wednesday night, and dead or effectively dead on early Thursday evening, Sicknick apparently suffered a stroke. Sicknick’s body then was cremated.<ref>https://www.revolver.news/2021/02/maga-blood-libel-why-are-they-hiding-the-medical-report/</ref>
