the top of the food chain closest to trump in this matter was the sec of defense.
donny got rid of esper & put in a dude as ' acting ' sec of defense less than a week after the election.... a position that was only gonna be 2 months long because esper was as concerned as gen milley re: donny's increasing nuttiness. chistopher miller was following trump's orders to allow all this to unfold & HE kept those NG from coming in. he was told by trump to let his pawns seize the capital. it will all come out.
So who is going to believe the made up stories in your head? I don't deal with conspiracies, I deal with facts and post them; facts like Trump offered the Capital police 10,000 troops the day before as a backup. Facts like the FBI the day before told the Capital police this could very well take place, and he couldn't get any assistance. Facts like it's the Speaker of the House who is in charge of the Capital police, and she sat on her old wrinkled ass hoping something like this would happen for political advantage (see, anybody can make up conspiracy theories).
the speaker of the house has ZERO to do with security. that is a lie ray ray.
IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT
- Capitol security is not solely the responsibility of the House speaker. It is provided by the sergeants-at-arms of the House and Senate, and by the Capitol Police.
- The House sergeant-at-arms reports to the House speaker, or Pelosi at the time of the attack. The Senate sergeant-at-arms reports to the Senate majority leader — on Jan. 6, Sen. Mitch McConnell.
- News reports indicate that in the days before the attack, House sergeant-at-arms Paul Irving resisted calls from the Capitol Police to bring in the National Guard for extra security at the Capitol because of “optics.” Irving later testified that intelligence reports didn’t show the need for the extra security, not that he rejected it because of optics.
PolitiFact - No, Capitol security is not only Pelosi’s responsibility, but she bears some
