Either way, everyone responsible For security in DC is suspect because this was expected, but supposedly people said there was no real risk because these were law abiding peaceful republican protesters.

Typically days (at least one or two), not minutes or hours. If the guard was already deployed to DC on standby, then it would be different (they were deployed there earlier this year).

The art is to draw the line at red/blue partisan politics... don't cross the partisan line, but some people also need to stop assuming that everything anyone else says is a slam against the rabid fanatical political persuasion.
