Trump SecDef Denies Trump Ordered Deployment of National Guard

[BackAgain]

Trump didn’t order the national guard. He asked Congress if that would be something they would like. The offer (not order) was rejected.

That is an outright lie.

At BEST he made an offhand remark to his Sec Def who ignored it

Miller is NOT Congress

Your response is either you once again lying or a major league demonstration of your ongoing abysmal ignorance.

Trump didn’t order the national guard. He asked Congress if that would be something they would like. The offer (not order) was rejected.

The offer was for national guard troops with no arms, no riot gear, and no ability to stop or detain people, and only put there to protect the insurrectionists from other protesters. Not to protect buildings or property.

Read the Sec Def memo about what was, and what wasn't authorized without his personal authorization.

Miller made clear to the Army Chief that the DC National guard wasn't to be equipped to handle a riot. No arms, no riot gear, no shields. They weren't even allowed to stop, search or detain people.

I just read through that whole thing and found ZERO reference to “10,000 NG troops”

There was some discussion about 125 NG that SUND rejected based on orders from both House and SENATE. Sergeant at Arms

Pelosi is not mentioned in that timeline
Congress is not mentioned

And one of the two Sergeants at Arms “reports to McConnell”

Of course neither Pelosi nor McConnell were consulted since they DON’T have operational control over the CP

Trump lied? I'm shocked.

Trump didn't lie. He offered the troops. He didn't order the troops. Big difference.

Very poor reading skills, Letch.

As Sund’s requests were denied, the Trump administration continued working on getting then-President Trump to formally authorize the deployment of as many as 20,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol ahead of the Jan. 6 rally, according to Just The News, which conducted interviews with then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and his Chief of Staff Kash Patel.

Who did he offer them to and who told them they were not needed?

The memo's from Bowser show that they were offered multiple times and she and PELOSI declined them.

The left are pathetic liars at best....

 

[Billy_Bob]

Trump didn't lie. He offered the troops. He didn't order the troops. Big difference.

They are hoping we the people won't look at this and blame Trump. Only those without functioning brains believe the lefts lies today...

There’s some very creative writing in that story.

“As Sund’s requests were denied, the Trump administration continued working on getting then-President Trump to formally authorize the deployment of as many as 20,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol ahead of the Jan. 6 rally, according to Just The News, which conducted interviews with then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and his Chief of Staff Kash Patel.”

Notice how it says there never was any actual signed authorization. They were “working on it” which is meaningless.

Very poor reading skills, Letch.

I guess the left has a problem with a General Standing Order to give them if requested and to offer them in a proactive move..... Nothing Trump does indicates any intentional impediment of the peaceful transfer of power.

Wrong... The president gave verbal authority to use the troops. The "in writing" thing is irrelevant. the standing order was given. You left tards have nothing to stand on. Milly is perjuring himself as he was well aware of the VERBAL ORDER THAT WAS GIVEN. The Jan 6 SHitt show continues with suborning perjury from witnesses.

Trump is a weak leader. He doesn’t give clear orders. He waffles and weasels to avoid blame.

No one thought he was ordering anything about using troops. The orders actually came from the Sec Def and Pence.

Trump gave what is known as a standing order, verbally, that 20,000 troops are to be offered and allowed use. That is as far as he can go without a request from Pelosi or Bowser. Trumps staff has acknowledged this STANDING ORDER was given and that the troops were offered multiple times. Sans that request, no official order could be generated.

Leave it up to MAGA Macho Man to provide the truth.

An official timeline of the events leading up to Jan. 6 that was constructed by the Capitol Police and the Pentagon provides key evidence Trump and his administration took steps to provide National Guard troops and sought to have a peaceful event, contrary to the House committee's claims.

Here is a breakdown of the timeline:

• The Pentagon first offered National Guard troops to the Capitol Police on Jan. 2. A Department of Defense official contacted Capitol Police Deputy Chief Sean Gallagher to see if a request for troops was forthcoming, but the offer was quickly rejected after a discussion with then-Chief Steve Sund.

• The sole entry on Jan. 2 in the Capitol Police timeline states: "Carol Corbin (DOD) texts USCP Deputy Chief Sean Gallagher, Protective Service Bureau, to determine whether USCP is considering a request for National Guard soldiers for Jan. 6, 2021 event."

• On Jan. 3, Capitol Police released an updated security assessment regarding the upcoming rally, which indicated a chance of armed protesters. "Due to the tense political environment following the 2020 election, the threat of disruptive actions or violence cannot be ruled out," it stated. "Supporters of the current president see Jan. 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."

• On Jan. 4, Sund started seeking permission for security assistance from Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger and House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving. His request was denied. He notified Gen. William Walker, commander of the D.C. National Guard,
about the need for support. But the timeline stated that Sund "does not have the authority to request at this time." Walker told Sund, if the chief could get approval from Capitol officials, he could deploy 125 troops.

• As Sund's requests were being rebuffed, the Pentagon was moving ahead with its own plans to get Trump to authorize National Guard troops if Congress requested them. According to a memo penned by the Pentagon inspector general, the Defense Department offered Congress assistance before Jan. 6.

• On Sunday, Jan. 3, then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and chief of staff for the Department of Defense Kash Patel met with Trump on national security matters. Toward the end of the meeting, Trump brought up the number of protesters expected on Jan. 6 and discussed making sure it was a safe event by providing a National Guard presence.

• A Vanity Fair reporter who followed Miller in the last weeks of Trump's administration detailed the remark in a report published later. The reporter indicated the exchange took place Jan. 5, while the inspector general placed it on Jan. 3. After discussing Iran, the Vanity Fair report stated that the conversation suddenly "switched gears" when Trump asked Miller how many troops the Pentagon was planning to deploy on Jan. 6.

When Miller told the president they would supply any National Guard support that was requested, Trump replied: "You're going to need 10,000 people." Under the law, a president can authorize the use of the National Guard; however, local officials must request the National Guard for domestic deployment.

• The inspector general's memo also provided insight into officials' fears about involving the National Guard due to concerns it could create the perception of a military coup or martial law being instituted as the election results were certified by Congress. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told the inspector he "did not want to create the perception that the military was involved in the electoral process," according to the memo.

• On Jan. 5, Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser wrote a letter to Miller and other officials at the Justice and Defense departments asking that National Guard troops not be deployed unless the local Metropolitan Police Department signed off.

"To be clear, the District of Columbia is not requesting other federal law enforcement personnel and discourages any additional deployment without immediate notification to and consultation with MPD, if such plans are underway," Bowser wrote in her letter.

She noted that the Metropolitan Police Department was "well-trained and prepared to lead the way" to ensure the safety of anyone present at the scheduled Jan. 6 political rallies.
