    The Trump administration authorized the National Guard starting on January 2nd and repeatedly thereafter. It was mostly turned down, except for Bowser's request of 340 troops that were forced to be unarmed and assist in the role of traffic flow. The idea that there was no authorization of the National Guard is a lie. A Big Lie. Not only was it authorized, but they were deployed in a limited capacity on January 6th.

    This is very basic information to find for those not getting all of their information for leftist media.

    Question for you, do you have any evidence that any request for resources to protect the Capital was denied by the Trump administration? You don't? That's kind of odd, you think? The fact is they were offered more than they got, and they were turned down, likely for PR reasons.

    Yes, they purposefully understaffed January 6th, and they requested more armed officers in riot gear that were sitting at home watching it on TV.

    Your source actually cites a report by the Washington Post. This is the first sentence of that article:

    Your facts have gotten so far off the rails this discussion no longer has any purpose.

    Actually, the purpose of the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol is as follows:

    (1) To investigate and report upon the facts, circumstances, and causes relating to the January 6, 2021, domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex (hereafter referred to as the “domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol”) and relating to the interference with the peaceful transfer of power, including facts and causes relating to the preparedness and response of the United States Capitol Police and other Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies in the National Capital Region and other instrumentalities of government, as well as the influencing factors that fomented such an attack on American representative democracy while engaged in a constitutional process.

    (2) To examine and evaluate evidence developed by relevant Federal, State, and local governmental agencies regarding the facts and circumstances surrounding the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol and targeted violence and domestic terrorism relevant to such terrorist attack.

    (3) To build upon the investigations of other entities and avoid unnecessary duplication of efforts by reviewing the investigations, findings, conclusions, and recommendations of other executive branch, congressional, or independent bipartisan or nonpartisan commission investigations into the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol, including investigations into influencing factors related to such attack.

    In the interests of preventing another such goon attack on our Congress by sore losers, its preparation, provocation, and coordination are among the aspects that must be exposed.

    ... In a video posted on Twitter on Tuesday, Trump repeated the claim, saying,
    Screen Shot 2019-10-26 at 12.19.11 PM.png
    "I immediately ordered the National Guard and federal law
    enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders."

    Did the Commander-in-Chief issue an order that was ignored by the Washington D.C. National Guard? No one has been accused or court-marshaled for doing so. Trump has accused no one of disobeying such an order, yet his goons were allowed to savage outnumbered police at the Capitol for hours while he pleasured himself in front of a tv, watching those whom he said he loved and hopes to pardon.

    As you don't seem to understand..... Pence did not call in the guards... he is not in the chain of command....
    Miller talked to him briefly but was not taking orders from him at all..... Miller was telling Pence what the plan was and that Pence is not in the CHAIN OF COMMAND...

    Stop posting stuff that is misinformation and not true...

    but here let the man in the chain of command tell.... spin it the best you can my liberal friend

    Miller was obviously lying and later provided a different interpretation of what happened.

    Yes it would be illegal for Trump to "order" Miller to do anything with the guard.
    The left would have a field day with a military coup takeover is Trump ever tried to do anything but "AUTHORIZE" the guard...

    POTUS CANNOT GIVE A DIRECT ORDER TO SEND THE NAT’L GUARD TO THE CAPITOL.

    He can only authorize it and then the local government has to request it.

    Again.... Stop posting stuff that is misinformation and not true...

    Your fake claim that the Cry Baby Loser called up the National Guard to deal with his goons is laughable.

    ... In the critical minutes before rioters had breached the Capitol building around 2 p.m., the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police force and the mayor of Washington, D.C., put out urgent requests for guard backup. But it took more than an hour to get formal approval for their deployment, and then nearly three more hours for the first guard reinforcements to arrive.

    The D.C. National Guard
    reports to the president.

    In a
    recorded video the following day, President Donald Trump claimed that he

    Screen Shot 2022-08-23 at 7.52.39 AM.png
    “immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement
    to secure the building and expel the intruders.”

    But Trump’s claim that he acted quickly is contradicted by news reports citing unnamed sources who say the president initially resisted efforts to bring in the National Guard at the outset of the Capitol riot.
    Again, if the Loser had issued a direct order that the National Guard be deployed to the Capitol "immediately," who failed to obey orders from the Commander-in-Chief?

    Who was court-marshaled?

    Why was he pleasuring himself for hours watching the brutal assault by his goons on outnumbered police instead of demanding to know why his alleged order had been ignored?

    It is not Trump's job to put the guard at the capitol..... it is his job to authorize the guard...my goodness what field day it would be if Trump DARE send in the military .... we would have a military coup... but Trump was "more smarter" than that...

    They were forewarned and the guards were made available days ahead of time.
    The overseers Pelosi and ilk and the CP failed at their job... no excuses....

    So when are they going to get to it instead of just going after Trump to find some crimes for which to charge him?

    The Commander-in-Chief's pleasuring himself by watching his goons, incited by lies about the election, attack outnumbered police defending democracy and the Capitol for hours as his minions, advisers, media promoters, and family pleaded with him to call them off clearly was not his job.

    The Loser still can't handle the truth - certified election results of all fifty states, none of which is being appealed in any court of legal venue, not even by the most rabid democracy deniers.

    The Committee has uncovered much - largely through the sworn testimony of so many Republican officeholders and Trump regime insiders. The Committee's mission is to reveal the truth.

    The Committee has no power to charge anyone it exposes, no more that Trump has the power to pardon the convicted among his goons whom he says he loves.

    Why does Trump remain impotent in honestly acknowledging a certified election concerning which there are no legal challenges anywhere?

    Then it's an unconstitutional Committee by your definition. You should change that perspective.
