No need. No Glocks or Ar-15’s at the Capitol protest.
You are wrong. They were spotted in the crowd at the ellipse and then marched to the Capitol. I wonder what else you missed by not watching the hearings today.

Yet none turned up at the Capitol, and it’s awful hard to conceal an AR-15.
Well, either of those things is different from what that poster was saying that they heard.
What had me going ??? was the claim that the Secret Service WOULD testify under oath - that it never happened.
Though actually now that I think of it, that wouldn't necessarily mean that C.H. was committing perjury today, if Engel came under oath and said it didn't go down like that. That's the reason that hearsay isn't often admissible. Could just mean that Ornato didn't have his story straight and Engel didn't feel like correcting him at the time.
Perhaps the Secret Service were caught off guard, and really didn't know how to respond at the moment. Maybe lawyers in that agency had them say otherwise, I don't know but I would love to see them collaborate her story, she was very credible to me. Hopefully others in the car can come forward and back her up.
I agree with everything you said and have the same questions. I agree the hearsay story about the Secret Service agents might be the only item in question. I need to watch that part of her testimony again.
I was also a few months too young to vote in the 1972 election. My draft lottery number was 212.
I spent the summer of 1974 living in Washington D.C. I had not followed Watergate that closely until that summer when I started reading all of Woodward and Bernstein's articles in the Washington Post. I supported Nixon until probably late July of 74. The night he resigned, I was in Georgetown and rode my bike over to the White House in time for a demonstration on Pennsylvania Ave.
Not to turn this into a message board, but the primary reason I followed the Watergate hearings was because I was working, in the summers of 73 and 74, at an ice house here in Fort Worth. I was the youngest. The next youngest was 75. The other three were all older. They controlled the radio, and kept it turned to the Watergate hearings, so I listened.
I was on a date that night in August 1974. We were driving back from Denton to Fort Worth when the news station carried Nixon's resignation speech. I was enthralled. My date? Not so much. She wanted me to insert an eight-track* tape. I refused, saying "this is history!" We broke up soon thereafter.
One of the coolest things about today's hearing is how Fox News, its online presence and twitter feed is giving full coverage to Cassidy Hutchison's testimony, with objectively critical comments by their anchors. Fox News and allied organizations are so done with Trump - and the big money donors will drop him like a rock. Stick a fork in him, he's done.

You would love them too, you wish, you hope...Peter Alexander of NBC is cutting the Trump attack story down. This is what happens when you let third-person hearsay pass off as reality.
