I read the pdf the DOJ actually released. That’s not what it actually says. 274 “agents” “responded” to an all hands on deck call for support to the capital + capital grounds + responded to the pipe bombs + a red truck that was suspected of explosives (I’m guessing there weren’t any, otherwise we would have heard more about that) . They were given instructions to support capital police. This response happened after protestors started to passing barricades and breaking windows. The comms information released would suggest no agents arrived at the capital until after Ashli Babit was shot. And according to the post mortem survey of those agents their effectiveness was minimal at best and a burden to capital police at worst. Because they had no training in crowd control and arrived with inappropriate supplies.
