Capitol, I'll meet you when you get here.
Q I just want to add some context to that time period.
According to the Capitol Police official timeline, at 3:07, it states 20 ATF and FBI personnel arrived at the Speaker's lobby.
And in addition to that, exhibit 48 has the 3:32 email from which says, "All FBI SWAT resources in the NCR and agent teams are headed to the Capitol."
Now, for kind of those two points, is it consistent with your recollection that the FBI arrived around the 3 o'clock time period?
A I believe that Deputy Director Bowdich and I got to the assembly area around 3 o'clock. And in the assembly area, which was on D Street, there were, I would guess, hundreds of FBI agents. Plus others. Capitol Police was there. There were others there.
My impression was that the vast majority, if not all, of the FBI agents who participated in this were in the assembly area at that point. ATF was already in the Capitol.
I had spoken to Ashan Benedict, who was the special agent in charge of ATF in D.C. I had known him when he was a special agent in charge in New York. And my belief at that time, and I think it's right, is that ATF and Ashan were in there significantly before the 3 o'clock arrival at the assembly area.
When Bowdich and I went into the Capitol from the assembly area, he took with him a number of FBI agents. I think they were bomb techs. And I think those were the first FBI agents in the Capitol.
Q Let me clarify.
So then, in your memory, Mr. Bowdich arrived, along with yourself, with the first FBI agents to the scene?
