So the trump administration is fully admitting that the insurrection attempting to block the certification of the Presidential election 2021 on Jan 6 was open rebellion?

Holly shit. I hadn’t seen that last image you posted before. I didn’t realize the Jan 6 insurrectionist brought flexcuffs. That is quite disturbing. Who the fuck were they planing to kidnap or take hostage with those flexcuffs?
They were probably associated with the ones that built the gallows outside on the lawn. cbsnews.com/…/jan-6-gallows-construction-new-vide…
