Trump says Pelosi is responsible for January 6 debacle, J6 committee wouldn't question her

[Oldestyle]

NO, he didn't.

Pelosi doesn't have any authority, moron.

Ever wonder why the lying orange blob, requested 10,000 NG troops and the commander in chief couldn't get it done?
The moron can order 5 times that amount, anywhere in the world, including the US.

You think that Trump could have activated the National Guard unilaterally by claiming there was a "rebellion" before a protest even took place? How would that work?


"Capitol security is provided by the sergeants-at-arms , who are the chief law enforcement officers for the House and Senate, in coordination with the Capitol Police, a federal law enforcement agency.


The House sergeant-at-arms reports to the speaker of the House, or Pelosi at the time of the attack. The Senate sergeant-at-arms reports to the Senate majority leader; in the days leading up to and including Jan. 6, that was Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell."

No, US Capitol security is not only Pelosi’s responsibility

More than six weeks after supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol, posts spread on Facebook c

The Capitol Police Chief DID call the Sgt. at Arms 30 times in 70 minutes as his officers were being overwhelmed!

That’s simply not true.

That’s simply not true.

Well lets switch this. If Rioters/protesters'/terrorists stormed the Capitol while President Eisenhower was in charge, what would he have done?

The DC national guard is under the authority of the president and he can unilaterally call them up similar to the authority of any governor.

In fact, Trump did so in 2020 during the George Floyd protests.

Trump seemed to think so.
Otherwise why did Trump "request" them?
As teabaggers claim.

5 phone calls to the House Sgt at Arms. Not 30.

Your Questions About How The National Guard Works In D.C., Answered

And what we know about the delay in deployment to the U.S. Capitol last week.

www.npr.org

Troops were deployed during last summer's protests for police reform after the killing of George Floyd. More than 5,000 troops came to the city from a dozen different states (most of those states had Republican governors). It's important to note that Bowser did not ask for or approve of deploying these out-of-state troops; she doesn't have the authority to keep them out. The D.C. National Guard also assisted local and federal law enforcement. In all, it was an overwhelming show of force for a city otherwise accustomed to peaceful protests.

You are admitting my material facts into record and don't even understand it.
Y'all are hilarious, actually.

 

[Oldestyle]

Some people are idiots and will say dumb stuff about the “feds” because they’ll do anything to shift blame from their own party.

You don’t deploy 10,000 national guard because there is a possibility of violence. You do it when you know it’s going to happen.

So why wasn't the former Capitol Police Chief told about the violence that supposedly everyone knew was going to happen? He's pissed because he WASN'T told!

 

[Oldestyle]

No wonder teabaggers hate the government, the brainwashed don't even know how it works.

What in my statement isn't correct, Smokin? You say that I don't know how "it works"? Educate me.

 

[JoeMoma]

This one got way out of hand.

No more out of hand than hundreds of protests throughout the country in the year leading up to that protest.

 

[Oldestyle]

That’s simply not true.

So you're calling the former Chief a liar?

 

[Marener]

So why wasn't the former Capitol Police Chief told about the violence that supposedly everyone knew was going to happen? He's pissed because he WASN'T told!

Most people didn’t know it was going to happen!

And for a lot of reasons.

One, Trump decided to tell his mob to go to the Capitol and kept that a secret from everyone. There were only supposed to be two quite small protests at the Capitol. No one knew the mob of tens of thousands would show up from the ellipse.

Two, Trump supporters (at least the hard core supporters that went to the Capitol) always talk in violent apocalyptic terms. That’s just how they are. Kind of crazy. But they didn’t ever really engage in any form of widespread violence.

Third, they did think that violence was possible and asked the NG to have a quick reaction force on standby which the military refused to deploy for hours after the request came in.
