    The impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump is slated to begin on Feb. 9. Trump is being charged for "willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States." Many media pundits and Democrats have claimed that Trump's 70-minute speech at the Ellipse outside the White House on Jan. 6 "incited" the storming of the U.S. Capitol building and the subsequent riot. However, a new report from the New York Times finds that the FBI and the Capitol Police were aware of threats targeting the Capitol days before Trump's speech.

    More and more evidence points to the storming of the Capital being a "false flag" operation, with Trump's flag being falsely charged with the malfeasance.

    The Capitol Police unlocked the doors and invited the demonstrators in. One of the police shot and killed a middle-aged unarmed woman. Did they ever release his name? Apparently, he is not going to be charged as it has been a month with no more said.
