Steve Bannon subpoenas Nancy Pelosi and every member of the House J6 committee in his contempt of Congress case

[Weatherman2020]

Please stop regurgitating Donald Trump's lies. We didn't believe him the first time.

PELOSI HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SECURITY AT THE CAPITOL.

What a stupid KKKanadian.

Not the way she handled it. But had she done her job, she could have.

Security is NOT HER JOB. That's just a bullshit story that Donald Trump and his people made up to deflect blame from Trump.

Appropriations and authorizing committees are not the same thing as "command and control". Apppropriations are budgets, and authorizing committees are oversight. Giving authority to act, but in an oversight function, not a hands on function.

You really need to know exactly what these connections actually mean instead of just assuming that what Republicans told you is correct, because they LIE. Especially the Trump people.

[Dragonlady]

I said Pelosi and the democrats held some responsibility for budget cuts made after they took control of the house. It is well documented, particularly in this forum, and it is one of the reasons for the gov't security failures on J6.
uar
You are not entitled to your own facts...deal with it.

Pelosi and the Democrats didn't send a mob to the Capitol to overthrow the election, and then keep the National Guard pent up for 3 hours waiting for an order.

Pelosi and the Democrats have ZERO responsibility what happened on January 6th. It's all on Trump and the Republican Party which enabled him.

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.

Rep. Jim Jordan’s false claim that Pelosi denied a request for National Guard troops​

“Capitol Police requested National Guard help prior to January 6th. That request was denied by Speaker Pelosi and her Sergeant at Arms.”
— Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), in a tweet, Feb. 15, 2021

The Facts​

There are three key players here: Steven A. Sund, the U.S. Capitol Police chief; Paul D. Irving, the House sergeant-at-arms, and Michael C. Stenger, the Senate sergeant-at-arms. All three resigned under pressure after the Jan. 6 insurrection.

In a Feb. 1 letter to Pelosi, Sund wrote he “approached the two Sergeants at Arms to request the assistance of the National Guard, as I had no authority to do so without an Emergency Declaration by the Capitol Police Board (CPB).” He said he spoke first to Irving, who “stated that he was concerned about the ‘optics’ and didn’t feel that the intelligence supported it.” Irving suggested Sund check in with Stenger, at the time chair of the CPB and get his thoughts. “Instead of approving the use of the National Guard, however, Mr. Stenger suggested I ask them how quickly we could get support if needed and to ‘lean forward’ in case we had to request assistance on January 6,” Sund wrote.
Sund said he then contacted Gen. William Walker, commanding officer of the D.C. National Guard. Walker “advised that he could repurpose 125 National Guard and have them to me fairly quickly, once approved. I asked General Walker to be prepared in the event that we requested them.”

Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6

Pelosi did not block the National Guard from the Capitol on Jan. 6​

By ARIJETA LAJKAJuly 23, 2021


CLAIM: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blocked the National Guard from coming to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. As Speaker of the House, Pelosi does not direct the National Guard. Further, as the Capitol came under attack, she and the Senate Majority leader called for military assistance, including the National Guard.

THE FACTS: On Tuesday, a false claim about the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol resurfaced suggesting that Pelosi blocked the National Guard from coming to lawmakers’ defense during the insurrection at the Capitol.
“@SpeakerPelosi, why did you block the National Guard from protecting the Capitol?” Indiana Rep. Jim Banks tweeted.
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy posed a similar question on Fox News saying, “Was there a decision by the Speaker not to have the National Guard at the Capitol that day?”

The answer is no.

“On January 6th, the Speaker, a target of an assassination attempt that day, was no more in charge of Capitol security than Mitch McConnell was. This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th and divert blame,” Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Pelosi told The Associated Press in an email.
The decision on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol is made by what is known as the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol. The board decided not to call the guard ahead of the insurrection but did eventually request assistance after the rioting had already begun, and the troops arrived several hours later.
The House Sergeant at Arms reports to Pelosi and the Senate Sergeant at Arms reported to McConnell, a Republican who was then Senate Majority Leader. There is no evidence that either directed the security officials not to call the guard beforehand, and Hammill said after the insurrection that Pelosi was never informed of such a request.
The officials on the board, along with the former Capitol Police chief, Steven Sund, have disputed each others’ accounts of who requested the guard when. Both Sergeants of Arms and the police chief resigned immediately after the attack.
Once Trump’s supporters were assaulting police and breaking into the building, Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer appealed to military leaders, asking the Army to deploy the National Guard.
“The Speaker believes security officials should make security decisions. The Speaker immediately signaled her support for the deployment of the National Guard when she was presented with that recommendation on the afternoon of January 6th. Public testimony confirms the fact that the Speaker was not made aware of any request for such a deployment prior to then,” Hammill said in a statement this week.

Republicans have falsely laid the blame on Pelosi without mentioning that GOP Leader McConnell had similar authority over the security officials that day. But there is no evidence that either was involved in any effort to block the National Guard before or during the insurrection.

I just proved you WRONG, and you're still claiming she is.

You proved nothing — ever. And your assertions about Trump are just more of you being a gasbag.

The FACT remains: the Speaker did have some responsibility as the Speaker. And you’re still denying reality. You’re a highly ignorant and very unpersuasive hack.

Even the generally biased and liberal PolitiFact notes that: “ Security at the 1.5 million-square-foot U.S. Capitol building does not fall solely to the speaker. Though Pelosi does have a role in the hierarchy overseeing security, there is no indication she controls its day-to-day operations.” PolitiFact - No, Capitol security is not only Pelosi’s responsibility, but she bears some

Here’s a fun fact for you libtards: the Speaker could have some responsibility (as I correctly said) and yet not have sole responsibility (which I never said).

You and naptime have much in common. Your share the same genetic predisposition to spout shit without regard for how inaccurate you are.

Nice wall of meaningless words, naptime. But that’s ok. You remain singularly unpersuasive. Hint. The speaker does have some responsibility for Capitol security. I never said it was her sole responsibility or that she was the one with all responsibility.

She should be called to the 1/6 clown show as a witless and as exhibit number one as an exemplar of the disingenuous nature of that clown show.
