  I know a conservative that believes those people didn’t do anything wrong because one police officer guided them in.

    As do I, it is odd that he just guided them in though. At least, from the very grainy security footage he showed me a year ago

      A police officer is just as human as any of the other people there. It only takes one person on staff to be “sympathetic to the cause” and hope that if they won he would have been a hero to their side.

      The whole point of their insurrection was to change the rules that he would then be enforcing. So it’s pretty understandable that he would be ok with breaking the current rules if he would then be pardoned on the other side of the transition.
