Nice pack of lies drunk. Too bad Trump released the copy of the letter he actually sent retard. Again, when Republicans take control of the House in November you are to leave here permanently. Or are you too scared to back up another of your failed predictions?donny lied & said he offered 10K national guard - & pelosi 'refused' it.
the only NG deployed b4 the insurrection were given traffic control detail - with NO helmets/shield etc. per the orders of chris miller - the DOD sec. installed only a few days after the election when esper was booted. esper has probably had a nice little sit down with the select committee & gave all kindsa inside info. they have spoken to at least 250 people, i'm betting he was one of 'em. AND bill barr as well - who finally showed he had a red line he would not cross, & the insurrection was it.
it was mike pence who ordered the guard to get in there - which was hours after the mob started with their violence.
howeverrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... it has come to light that mark meadows - who is in such deep doo doo gave over a power point presentation in his possession, that the NG were to be instructed to

DC Guard chief details Pentagon delays during Jan. 6 riot at Capitol
Walker calls restrictions on his ability to deploy his force ‘unusual’
Scores of District of Columbia National Guardsmen loaded on buses at the Washington Armory and were ready to deploy as pro-Trump rioters breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, but minutes turned into hours as they awaited permission from the Pentagon to move out.
Maj. Gen. William J. Walker, the commander of the D.C. National Guard, told lawmakers Wednesday that written instructions issued ahead of the insurrection from then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy limited his ability to deploy his troops where, as a commander, he felt they were needed.
On Jan. 6, Walker and top officials from the U.S. Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department pleaded for permission to send the National Guard to help secure the Capitol during a phone call around 2:22 p.m. with defense officials. But Walker said he didn’t receive the go-ahead to send his troops to the Capitol until just after 5 p.m.
Because the District of Columbia is not a state and thus does not have a governor, the president is the commander in chief of the D.C. National Guard. The chain of command runs down to the Defense secretary and the Army secretary.
‘Unusual’ restrictions
McCarthy’s written instructions from Jan. 5 required Walker to seek specific permission to deploy a 40-member quick reaction team. McCarthy also required Walker to send him a “concept of operation” before that team could be used.
“Based on the Defense Department’s public timeline, once requested, it took the National Guard over three hours to arrive at the Capitol. Now remember, we were all watching this on CNN, and Fox and MSNBC, and it’s a riot,” the Ohio Republican said. “We need to know why the Pentagon took so long to deploy the National Guard.”
