"He did not call his secretary of defense on Jan. 6. He did not talk to his Attorney General. He did not talk to the Department of Homeland Security,” Cheney added. “President Trump gave no order to deploy the National Guard that day. And he made no effort to work with the Department of Justice to coordinate and deploy law enforcement assets"

 

Why would you need to call the secretary of defense for a bare chested guy wearing horns on his head and a painted face?

You do realize Pelosi rejected the GOP's request for certain members to be on the committee because she knew she would have to testify and if refused could have faced the same as Steve Bannon.  

If this was all on the up and up why did the dem's not let the GOP choose who they wanted on the panel and instead it was up to Pelosi?

If anything comes out of this its that the SotH's powers needs to be knocked down about 10 notches. 

So, did Miller commit perjury?

Were McConnell and Pelosi offered Nat G troops?

On December 31, 2020, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser requested DCNG troops to support the local Metro Police Department (MPD), in advance of “First Amendment events” planned for January 6, 2021.

In response, “DJT authorized the use of the military to support local and federal law enforcement on 6 Jan.,” then-Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller told me. “He directed that I provide whatever support was requested. Absolutely true statement.”

“I 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,” Miller added.

“The President scoffed and said, ‘You’ll need ten to twenty thousand.’ I did not respond,” Miller continued. “He 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.”

Miller concluded: “So, technically, he authorized unlimited military support.”

Miller’s top aide echoed his comments.

“10-20k troops were authorized for use around the country in the Oval Office prior to Jan. 6. Hard fact,” then-Pentagon chief of staff Kash Patel told me. He added: “I was there with SECDEF, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and others. There’s zero chance the DoD doesn’t have a record of that. DoD spoke to Capitol Police (who report to Nancy Pelosi) before Jan. 6 multiple times, and they repeatedly rejected any National Guard assistance, as did D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.”

– After interviewing Miller, Vanity Fair’s Adam Ciralsky described that night’s action:  

Miller recalled, asked how many troops the Pentagon planned to turn out the following day. “We’re like, ‘We’re going to provide any National Guard support that the District requests,’” Miller responded. “And [Trump] goes, ‘You’re going to need 10,000 people.’... Miller remembered the president telling him, ‘You do what you need to do. You do what you need to do.’"

So, who's lying?

Is there evidence of the offer?

McConnell?   He had no authority.   Schumer did. 

There are reports that Pelosi and Schumer were offered troops days before.   Could be the testimony is just confusing the dates on or before.

A clip of Miller on Sean Hannity's show has also gone viral showing him say that he testified under oath that Trump authorized 20,000 troops.

Even if he did not, Pelosi an Bowzer had the authority and responsibility.   The story was that he offered, and they refused, not that there were orders.  Blame this on those two cunts.  Hack story.

When did Nancy leave the scene on J6?

Everything and everyone at the 6 hearings are top shelf, honest people... :lol:

“I would rather shoot myself dead into the Potomac than see marine one flying around this city without 45 again,”

 

 

Person on sidewalk: your sweatshirt says 45.

Me: yes

Person: like, Trump?

Me: yes

Person: stares

Me: I’m an insurrectionist.

And then I put my headphones in. The end.

 

Cheney and Adam Kinzinger a "crop of losers" and said "their egos are too f*****g big."

This was the star witness for the dems..... :lol:

I'll answer your questions when you answer mine. :bc:

I'll say this witness' that contradict their own testimony, under oath or not are generally not thought to be reliable.

:news:  End of thread.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/congresswoman-says-trump-administration-botched-capitol-riot-preparations-2021-05-12/

Here is where they are playing with words.   Trump requested troops to protect the protestors right to protest which obviously they would protect the Capitol.   They are asking now did he ask for troops to "protect the capitol."  

Fucking joke how the dems and the MSM are playing this. 

According to Miller's testimony, Trump asked during that meeting whether the District of Columbia's mayor had requested National Guard troops for Jan. 6, the day Congress was to ratify Joe Biden's presidential election victory.

Trump told Miller to "fill" the request, the former defense secretary testified. Miller said Trump told him: "Do whatever is necessary to protect demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights."

Representative Carolyn Maloney, the Democrat who chairs the committee, demanded answers from Miller on why National Guard troops did not arrive until hours after the building was overrun.

Miller testified that the U.S. military was deliberately restrained that day when Trump's rally turned into an assault by hundreds of his followers that left five dead, including a Capitol Police officer.

Miller testified that he was concerned in the days before Jan. 6 that sending National Guard troops to Washington would fan fears of a military coup or that Trump advisers were advocating martial law.

I think what kills me is that Washington DC has the largest police force in the country and could have easily out numbered the protesters on short notice. 

There was better security at a KISS concert.  Has it been shown that any of these insurrectionists had any type of gun?
