Trump Pentagon first offered National Guard to Capitol four days before Jan. 6 riots, memo shows

[excalibur]

I wonder how much time the "Committee" will spend on this tonight? Oh, none?

Official Capitol Police timeline validates Trump administration's account, shows Democrats' fateful rejections of offers. "Seems absolutely illogical," one official wrote about security posture hours before riot began.​

...​

​

But by late December, Capitol Police internal emails and documents show, information began flowing in that some groups expected to attend were talking on social media or fringe websites about tactics like blocking tunnels leading to the Capitol.​

​

On Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021, just hours after Gallagher rejected the Pentagon's initial offer, the Capitol Police issued a new and darker security assessment to its commanders and executives and to the two political appointees in Congress responsible for security, the House and Senate sergeants at arms, the timeline shows.​

​

"Due to the tense political environment following the 2020 election, the threat of disruptive actions or violence cannot be ruled out," the new assessment declared. "Supporters of the current president see January 6, 2021 as the last opportunity to overturn the results of the presidential election. This sense of desperation and disappointment may lead to more of an incentive to become violent."​

​

Within 24 hours, Sund had changed his mind and began seeking permission from the political powers surrounding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer to deploy the National Guard as a preventive measure on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021.​

​

The Capitol Police official timeline provides the most succinct summary of a series of events around Sund's request, some of which have been disputed and at times misreported in the news media.​

​

...​

​

While Sund's requests were being delayed and denied, the Pentagon was forging ahead on Jan. 4, 2021 to get Trump to formally sign authorizations to deploy in advance of Jan. 6, 2021 as many as 20,000 National Guard troops if Congress asked, according to interviews Just the News has done with then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and his chief of staff Kash Patel.​

​

"We went to the Capitol Police and the Secret Service and law enforcement agencies and Mayor Bowser days before January 6, and asked them, 'Do you want thousands of National Guardsmen and women for January 6?'" Patel said in a detailed interview earlier this year. "They all said no. Why did we do that? The law requires them to request it before we can deploy them. And the DOD IG found we did not delay, we actually prepared in a preemptive fashion, which is what we do at DOD."​

​

Patel told Just the News on Wednesday night that the police timeline validated the account he has given to Congress.​

​

"The Capitol Police timeline shows what we have been saying for the last year — that DOD support via the National Guard was refused by the House and Senate sergeant at arms, who report to Pelosi," Patel said. "Now we have it in their own writing, days before Jan. 6. And despite the FBI warning of potential for serious disturbance, no perimeter was established, no agents put on the street, and no fence put up."​

​

As word circulated around the nation's capital that Sund wanted National Guardsmen deployed, District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser wrote a preemptive letter to Miller and other Pentagon and Justice Department officials asking that troops not be deployed unless the Metropolitan Police Department approved, citing an incident in summer 2020, when troops were deployed at Lafayette Park near the White House during civil disobedience,​

In sum, it appears Democrats were responsible for this riot, as they have been for so many others in America in the not so distant past.

 

[Sunsettommy]

I never once believed that Trump wanted to have people storm the Capital bldg. to stop the Certification process.

Just as I expected the Joke 6 committee knew they had nothing on Trump which is why they push the self-defeating dog and pony show in which the media will try to help them save face.

The DOJ isn't going to charge Trump either as they must have known about these revelations as shown in Post one article.

Trump wanted troops to protect his supporters at Jan. 6 rally

President Donald Trump wanted National Guard troops in Washington to protect his supporters at a Jan. 6 rally that ended with them attacking the U.S. Capitol, leaving five dead, Trump's former Pentagon chief testified on Wednesday.

Trump's Secretary of Defense testified that HE refused to call for National Guard troops in the days before Jan 6.

NOT Pelosi. Not anyone else

And don't be relying on a felon lie Bernie Kerik or a Trump stooge like Kayshap Patel.

Kash Patel

In mid-May of 2022, Patel wrote a children's picture book perpetuating the false claims of election fraud during the 2020 US elections. Written by Patel and illustrated by Laura Vincent, the book was published by Brave Books and entitled The Plot Against the King.[35][36] It appears to be a fanciful retelling of the allegations described in the preceding section with characters that are thinly disguised caricatures of real people, written for early grade-school-age children. Donald J. Trump praised it in a posting apparently on his Truth Social social network.[37]

The guy is an arrogant and egotistical asshole sometimes yeah, but he never wanted people to storm the capitol. He is too smart to know that would do absolutely nothing but hurt him and doesn't benefit the country.

At the end of the day I think he really did want what was best for America. If you get past his rantings and sometimes crazy tweets and looked past his personality and simply look at his stats you can see he did a great many things that helped America and Americans. On paper from a statical point of view he was fantastic.

But they won't find anything when this is all over. Jesus they impeached him, twice and got nothing. This is all about just simply trying to make him and his party look bad for the midterms and upcoming election. It's all about the optics of it all and how manufactured negativity they can create for the news to report on so they can try and make Americans not like him. Essentially, this whole thing is a scam on Americans.

 

[Lesh]

he never wanted people to storm the capitol.

That was the PLAN.

He never tried to stop it until it was obvious that the attack had failed and the count would go on

Little more than 'remotely' true.....it's from USCP internal documents.

justthenews.com

According to Trump's National Guard, they had only 125 guards ready to be called up for help at the Capitol on 1/6 and even those guard were not sent in a timely manner, as the guard promissed, when they were requested. Trump admin would not even let the Mayor use the guard she had for traffic control be used to stop the riot, when she asked for permission.

Why was the guard AWOL?
