this guy, one of 3 on the Capitol Police Board 'tasked with making security decisions for the congressional complex and overseeing Capitol Hill's police force", decided it wouldn't be a good idea for him to be in work on Jan 6th. One has to wonder why exactly that was, what did he know ahead of time and who told him anything to give that impression.
Blanton said he did not think it would be 'prudent' to come to work that day. Instead, he said his government vehicle served as his 'mobile command post' during the attack and he listened to police radio and gave orders from afar.
Blanton was one vote on a three-member Capitol Police Board tasked with making security decisions for the congressional complex and overseeing Capitol Hill's police force.

'Blanton misled and provided false information to investigators on multiple occasions. Blanton used taxpayer dollars to fund an additional personal vehicle for his family. … Blanton's actions have violated every pillar the OIG operates under including theft, fraud, waste and abuse against not only the AOC but also the taxpayer.'
