Id.āI told POTUS that we were fulfilling the only request received -- it was from D.C. Mayor Bowser -- for a few hundred District of Columbia National Guard troops and that no one else asked for any additional military support,ā Miller added.
āThe President scoffed and said, āYouāll need ten to twenty thousand.ā I did not respond,ā Miller continued. āHe then reiterated that I should provide any military support requested. That was the way he worked and gave orders. He listened, asked questions, commented and then, if necessary, refined his guidance.ā
Wrong.Just the News only quotes Patel who is a devout Trump loyalist and who by all contemporaneous records was not part of the conversations with the SAA. Patelās quote stated that āweā went to the Capitol Police not āIā, meaning heās not even specifically claiming that he was present for any such discussion. There is a conspicuous absence of any quote from Chris Miller in the article, and given itās a very politically biased pundit writing the story, Iām not surprised.
The point is that there never was an offer of thousands of troops and there never was an order to have thousands of troops ready to go.
There was supposed to be a few hundred troops rapidly available but the DoD really didnāt have them rapidly available in the least and made it difficult for the Capitol Police to get the backup they were promised resulting in hours of delays.
Yup. The timeline is irrelevant.The timeline alone doesnāt. The timeline does show that any offer at all was refused.
And the fact that you donāt have a formal written proof of the 10k to 20k figure doesnāt disprove it at all.
The Evidence Trump Requested 10,000 National Guard Troops on January 6th That āFact Checkersā Are Ignoring
They forgot to check the facts....bongino.com
Iād like to review the JustTheNews reporterās notes and tape. It would be fun to pin down Miller who is clearly waffling.
No. The timeline is actually not irrelevant. It conclusively demonstrates that the offer was made.Yup. The timeline is irrelevant.
Miller may have an issue but. Nothing beyond him
There as an offer. The offer wasnāt 10,000-20,000 and no such number was ever authorized by Trump as the claim was. When Trump threw that number out there, it wasnāt an authorization or order. They just thought he was making a hyperbolic off the cuff comment, which is almost certainly was.Wrong.
There obviously was an offer of troops. It was rejected. Your present quibble is that you arenāt being pointed to anything specifically in writing. You libtards always manage to forget that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Being beaten by a mob is not "natural causes".The police man died of natural causes.
I am aware that's what your lying propagandists have told you, and god forbid you should engage two brain cells in ten seconds of critical thinking.All they have are trespassing charges.
Nor you.Yup. The timeline is irrelevant.
Miller may have an issue but. Nothing beyond him
There as an offer. The offer wasnāt 10,000-20,000 and no such number was ever authorized by Trump as the claim was.
So you claim. Miller previously said that it was an order because thatās the way the President gave such directions.When Trump threw that number out there, it wasnāt an authorization or order.
No. Thatās not what ātheyā thought. It is made up shit by you. It is, in fact, contrary to what Iāve already posted Miller claimed.They just thought he was making a hyperbolic off the cuff comment, which is almost certainly was.
Untrue. Stop pretending that made up nonsense of yours is factual.The offer of troops stationeat the Capitol was declined but they asked for a quick reaction force which was not provided for hours after it was asked for.
My quibbles is that Kash Patel isnāt trustworthy as it doesnāt align with contemporaneous records.
Millerās statements are quite consistent.
But this does raise the point as to how Trump really did expect his supporters to become extremely violent. I guess he understood them best.
Actually, the DoD had a Quick Reaction Force on hot standby on January 6.Just the News only quotes Patel who is a devout Trump loyalist and who by all contemporaneous records was not part of the conversations with the SAA. Patelās quote stated that āweā went to the Capitol Police not āIā, meaning heās not even specifically claiming that he was present for any such discussion. There is a conspicuous absence of any quote from Chris Miller in the article, and given itās a very politically biased pundit writing the story, Iām not surprised.
The point is that there never was an offer of thousands of troops and there never was an order to have thousands of troops ready to go.
There was supposed to be a few hundred troops rapidly available but the DoD really didnāt have them rapidly available in the least and made it difficult for the Capitol Police to get the backup they were promised resulting in hours of delays.
The supposed offer to CONGRESS or Pelosi or whatever was regarding 10,000 or 20,000 ( the claim constantly changes) NG troops is NOT SUPPORTED by anything Iām the timeline. It is irrelevant to that bogus claimNo. The timeline is actually not irrelevant. It conclusively demonstrates that the offer was made.
The matter at hand is the question about how many troops were offered? Miller acknowledged (not in the timeline) that the President scoffed at a lowball figure and authorized as many troops as were needed.
Patel and Grenel are in agreement.
But the President couldnāt order it absent a request. And the Capitol police (ie, Nancy Pelousy) failed to accept the offer and make the request. And the dumbass Mayor of DC specifically ā except maybe for some to serve as traffic cops ā declined.
Get your facts straight, ya hack.
The timeline supports the making of an offer. As I said.The supposed offer to CONGRESS or Pelosi or whatever was regarding 10,000 or 20,000 ( the claim constantly changes) NG troops is NOT SUPPORTED by anything Iām the timeline. It is irrelevant to that bogus claim
There was never any offer made to Pelosi. She was not consulted at all.The supposed offer to CONGRESS or Pelosi or whatever was regarding 10,000 or 20,000 ( the claim constantly changes) NG troops is NOT SUPPORTED by anything Iām the timeline. It is irrelevant to that bogus claim
Except he didn't:He offered, was told they were not needed, so why would he order it?
God you are just pathetic.
www.politifact.com
My evidence that 10,000 to 20,000 troops were never authorized is in the documents (such as the timeline you posted) as well as the testimony under oath by Miller. The evidence that they were authorized is vague statements from a Trump loyalist given to a conservative biased pundit.So you say. Without any shred of evidence by contrast to the actual evidence presented that says the offers were made in the 10k to 20k range.
So you claim. Miller previously said that it was an order because thatās the way the President gave such directions.
No. Thatās not what ātheyā thought. It is made up shit by you. It is, in fact, contrary to what Iāve already posted Miller claimed.
Untrue. Stop pretending that made up nonsense of yours is factual.
False. It was supported previously by the former acting sect of defense. And again, the fact that we donāt have a written order of contemporaneous record of that figure doesnāt establish that Patel isnāt trustworthy.
In no universe
No. It shows he wasnāt part of any insurrection and was smart enough to prepare in advance for possible problems. Your constant hackery is noted. As is your reliance on dishonesty.
Gen Flynnās brother actually was the one gumming up the works. He was demanding that they get all this extra authorization and make all these little written plans.Actually, the DoD had a Quick Reaction Force on hot standby on January 6.
All they needed was one phone call from Donald Trump to go into action. The National Guard can only be deployed by the President or the Secretary of Defense.
But Trump chose to jack off in front of the TV for over three hours as he watched the attack. He did not make that call because the mob was doing exactly what he wished.
During that entire period, everyone around him in the building was BEGGING him to act. He was even receiving calls from his lickspittles in Congress to act. He was also receiving texts from his propagandists in the media to act.
Do you know what the only action he took in that 187 minutes was?
After the attack was underway, Trump sent out a tweet to the mob to sic them on his Vice President.
The SecDef finally took it upon himself to deploy the National Guard. Thank God.
Lol, the cop died of natural causes or that's what his autopsy said.Being beaten by a mob is not "natural causes".
I am aware that's what your lying propagandists have told you, and god forbid you should engage two brain cells in ten seconds of critical thinking.
After all, over 150 police officers were injured in the attack, and one of them subsequently died. Yet you are somehow so brain dead that you actually believe the only charges against the perpetrators are for trespassing?
Aren't you the slightest bit embarrassed to be so publicly stupid?

Hope that helps.
So Miller went on Trump's asseater Hannity's show & probably lied thru his teeth. So what? Hannity allows guests to lie thru there teeth with impunity like he does as long as it's in defense of his boi.Was Miller lying then or is he lying now.
Miller Contradicts Himself, Says Trump Did Not Order to Deploy Jan.6 Troops
Chris Miller said Donald Trump did not order 10,000 troops to be ready for Jan. 6, contradicting a statement put out by the ex-president.www.newsweek.com
You are wrong and you lie. On Jan 4 the Pentafon timeline notes reflect that the President had approved of the NG deployment. Of course, they still had to await an actual request.My evidence that 10,000 to 20,000 troops were never authorized is in the documents (such as the timeline you posted) as well as the testimony under oath by Miller. The evidence that they were authorized is vague statements from a Trump loyalist given to a conservative biased pundit.
Yes, thought Trump was being hyperbolic. Hereās Miller saying so to Vanity Fair.
The articles youāve posted claimed to have interviewed Miller but contain no quotes for him saying anything youāre describing. The omission is pretty obvious.āThe President Threw Us Under the Busā: Embedding With Pentagon Leadership in Trumpās Chaotic Last Week
Throughout the final, frenzied days of the Trump administration, a reporter rode shotgun with the outgoing acting defense secretary, Christopher Miller, the man who, under the distracted eye of his commander in chief, became Americaās de facto guardian.www.vanityfair.com
The Sec Def does not back up Kash Patelās narrative. The testimony under oath, the audio which is in the first post here, directly contradicts that and no where has Miller been shown to say anything that corroborates that 10,000 troops were authorized officially or otherwise. To be clear, some troops were authorized, but itās a tiny fraction of what is being claimed by Kash Patel.
Thereās no documentation supporting this number and thereās a lot of documentation directly contradicting it.
But you keep believing it anyway.
ā 'Insurrectionist' Trump Approved National Guard Troops for D.C. on Jan 6. Dems Said No. (a bit of emphasis added for you hard of thinking dishonest libtards).ā āMr. Miller told us that the President called him during the evening of January 5, 2021,ā according to page 41 of the Defense Department Inspector Generalās Report. āMr. Miller told us that he and the President discussed the upcoming rallies, and the Presidentās guidance was to do what was required to protect the American people.ā
ā After interviewing Miller, Vanity Fairās Adam Ciralsky described that nightās action:
Miller recalled, asked how many troops the Pentagon planned to turn out the following day. āWeāre like, āWeāre going to provide any National Guard support that the District requests,āā Miller responded. āAnd [Trump] goes, āYouāre going to need 10,000 people.ā... Miller remembered the president telling him, āYou do what you need to do. You do what you need to do.ā"
But Mayor Bowser had other plans. . . . .
