I found this article "instructive" -- in that I would never have guessed that these historic facts even existed - based on the popular news of today.

============================

NPR​

Capitol Police Suspends 6 Officers, Investigates Dozens More After Capitol Riots​

February 19, 2021
"The investigation into the January 6 attack remains under investigation. Our Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating the actions of 35 police officers from that day. We currently have suspended six of those officers with pay," the department said in a statement.
Capitol Police Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman further directed that any member whose behavior is not in keeping with the department's Rules of Conduct "will face appropriate discipline."

The department "has been actively reviewing video and other open source materials of some USCP officers and officials that appear to be in violation of Department regulations and policies," she said on Jan. 11.

Videos from the day of the attack appear to show some officers escorting rioters inside the building. In one video, USCP officers can be seen opening barricades allowing the mob to enter the Capitol complex without resistance.

=======================

1. The facts above appear to be so solid that they are "actionable" in the case of the officers opening the doors for the visitors.
2. The facts above would make it very very confusing for a number of visitors at the Capitol to somehow "guess" that they should not walk in to the doors opened for them.

This article is from 2.5 years ago. Got anything on the outcome of the investigation?

Does that mean that they took no action against the police officers since it is 2.5 years ago and therefore ... it did not happen?

what exactly is your point?
Got anything on the outcome of the investigation?

Feb 2021 -- looks like they were suspended -- pending the outcome

"Six US Capitol Police officers have been suspended with pay, and 29 others have been placed under investigation, for their actions in the January 6 riot, a department spokesman said Thursday."

Sept 2021 ( less than 2 years ago)

"The USCP provided the Department of Justice information on the cases “as part of the ongoing discovery production in the prosecution of the January 6 rioters,” and said the US Attorney’s Office “did not find sufficient evidence that any of the officers committed a crime,” according to the statement..... The DC US Attorney’s Office had no comment."

Apparently opening doors for visitors was not a crime on Jan 6.

My point is that the information is old and incomplete. An investigation was started? Great. What happened with the investigation? It was 2.5 years ago; there must have been some resolution by now.



Feb 2021 -- looks like they were suspended -- pending the outcome

"Six US Capitol Police officers have been suspended with pay, and 29 others have been placed under investigation, for their actions in the January 6 riot, a department spokesman said Thursday."

That article is a day older than your first one.
