Recently acquired memos and unearthed text messages reveal that two senior security aides for the House of Representatives under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) already knew about the possible Capitol breach the night before the Jan. 6 "riot." These officials reportedly received stark warnings from Capitol Police that indicated that so-called rioters might attempt to break into the legislative building using the tunnel systems to prevent the certification of President Joe Biden's supposed victory in the 2020 elections, as per the recently disclosed documents. "We have identified numerous open-source comments indicating groups intentions of finding the tunnel entrances and confronting/blocking the MOCs (Members of Congress)," Capitol Police Deputy Chief Sean Gallagher wrote Deputy House Sergeant at Arms Tim Blodgett at 8:55 p.m. on Jan. 5, 2021. This was transmitted via an email forwarded by Blodgett's boss, then-Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving within less than an hour then. More warnings on threats against Supreme Court justices were also communicated that night. The messages obtained by House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) also said that former Pelosi Chief of Staff Terri McCullough was briefed the following morning of the reports, just a few hours before the Capitol breach. Loudermilk accused Pelosi of rejecting Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund's request to deploy the National Guard following the memo warnings of a possible breach. The Republican representative said the committee would question Pelosi and her staff's subsequent actions. "I think it was clear at that moment. She understood. They messed up. She or her staff are the ones who denied the request by Chief Sund for the National Guard," he told the "Just the News, No Noise" television show. "There's a lot of information that people on Pelosi's staff I think need to answer, some questions. So we're wrapping up some other areas while we're still going down this path." He also pointed out that these communications and other newly released records were not mentioned in the House January 6 Select Committee's report despite having found that Pelosi's team reviewed and edited the security-related messages sent to House members. Congressional investigators also linked the correspondence to Pelosi's video shot by her daughter that recently went viral, where she blamed herself for the lack of National Guard troops during the Capitol breach. The National Pulse reported that during their flight from the Capitol, Pelosi is recorded telling McCullough, "We have responsibility, Terri," and admitting a lack of preparedness. "We did not have any accountability for what was going on there and we should have. This is ridiculous," she added.

Pelosi's outrageous claims against Donald Trump

Five years later and in time for the presidential elections, Pelosi came out to warn that doctors and other mental health professionals told her back in 2019 that there was something seriously wrong with former President Donald Trump's mental and psychological health. Pelosi's book, "The Art of Power: My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House," to be published next week, reportedly included this revelation. "I'm not a doctor," the former speaker wrote in her memoir, "But I did find his behaviors difficult to understand." In the book, Pelosi also stated that she did not solicit statements about Trump's mental health from attendees at the memorial for Dr. David Hamburg, a distinguished psychiatrist who died in April 2019. But she called the former president "imbalanced" and "unhinged." She wrote that before Jan. 6, she knew of "Trump's mental imbalance," claiming she had seen it up close. "His denial and then delays when the [Wuhan coronavirus] COVID pandemic struck, his penchant for repeatedly stomping out of meetings, his foul mouth, his pounding on tables, his temper tantrums, his disrespect for our nation's patriots and his total separation from reality and actual events. His repeated, ridiculous insistence that he was the greatest of all time. I had seen … his foul mouth, his temper tantrums, his disrespect for our nation’s patriots, his total separation from reality," she claimed. The former House speaker also said she got calls from Trump, often late at night, including one in which she claimed that Trump insisted missile strikes on Syria he had just ordered were Barack Obama's fault, eventually reportedly prompting Pelosi to tell him: "It's midnight. I think you should go to sleep." "People still ask me how I remained so calm," Pelosi further wrote of the hours during J6, when she and other leaders were evacuated to Fort McNair. "My answer is that I was already deeply aware of how dangerous Donald Trump was. He continues to be dangerous. If his family and staff truly understood his disregard for both the fundamentals of the law and for basic rules and if they had reckoned with his instability over not winning the 2020 election, they should have staged an intervention. Whether because of willful blindness, money, prestige or greed, they didn't – and America has paid a steep price," she further claimed. However, it now appears that she remained calm that day because she knew what was coming. Deception.news has more stories related to the government's lies and propaganda.
