Something went on that day concerning Ashli Babbitt, and even conspiracy theorists have lost the thread of it.

She was there on a mission, but I'm not yet certain what that mission was. (It would be interesting to know, but not vital to the analysis.) It was news to me that she was first at the doors. I wish we could hear what she was saying to the officers, but I doubt it was, "Stop the steal!" I imagine she was making contact, perhaps identifying herself in some way to them as other than a protester.

Byrd was sent to stop her from accomplishing her mission, which I presume involved something in the Speaker's Office. He never warned her, brandished his weapon, pushed her back, alerted officers on the other side of the door, or called for backup from the people standing behind him farther up the hallway. He was there to kill her and he actively hid from her. There's no evidence she ever even noticed him.

There's quite a telling detail in Sullivan's video that Babbitt and Byrd were not part of the overall psychodrama of Fed protesters and of cops playing the part of cops. That is, when the gunshot goes off, not a single person reacts as if a real gunshot had gone off. No protester, no cop, not one. Why?

They were all play acting. They knew for a fact everything was fake. It was an open air movie set, and no one told them they should react to a gunshot so they didn't react.

If you watch carefully as Babbitt is on the ground, it begins to dawn on a couple of them that it was real, but even then you can see how slow and uncertain that process is because, again, they "knew" it was all fake.

And even here on this forum, two years later, you can see the presence of shills to confirm that "They" don't want you figuring all this out.
