Elements of U.S. Capitol Police knew in advance that Jan. 6 would be a catastrophe that would justify and lead to the firing of Police Chief Steven A. Sund, a whistleblower alleges in an explosive letter to Congress.
The whistleblower report references the first concrete evidence that January 6 was—on some levels—a planned disaster with a goal of sacking Chief Sund, elevating then-Assistant Chief Yogananda D. Pittman, 52, and Deputy Chief Sean P. Gallagher, 45, and consolidating the USCP intelligence division under Democrat control.
“…Evidence reveals that the violence, deaths, injuries, and aftermath of January 6th were not the result of mere intelligence failures or incompetence,” the whistleblower wrote, “but may have stemmed from intentional acts by insiders seeking to remove then-Chief of Police Steven Sund and consolidate control over the USCP and its intelligence functions.”
The whistleblower letter, written by a senior law enforcement official with firsthand knowledge of events in the department prior to, on and after Jan. 6, alleged that senior Capitol Police leaders conspired with Democrats in Congress to create the conditions for a Jan. 6 disaster — and the nearly immediate firing of Sund.
