Bombshell Report: Oversight Subcommittee Finds Pentagon Deliberately Delayed National Guard Deployment on January 6 — Cover-Up by DoD Inspector General Exposed

In a fiery letter to the Department of Defense Inspector General, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), Chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, exposed the “systemic failure” within the Pentagon on January 6, 2021.

Loudermilk accused the DoD of intentionally delaying the deployment of the D.C. National Guard (DCNG) and of publishing an Inspector General report that “whitewashes” the events to protect top Pentagon officials.

The letter, addressed to Defense Department Inspector General Robert P. Storch, challenges the findings of Report No. 2022-039, which the DoD Inspector General’s office had presented as a comprehensive review of the Department’s role during the Capitol riots.

Loudermilk’s Subcommittee on Oversight, tasked with probing security failures on January 6, asserts that the report contains glaring inaccuracies and conveniently ignores testimony that exposes Pentagon misconduct.

The DoD IG’s report reveals a troubling oversight in assessing the actions of senior DoD officials, including Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, who failed to relay deployment orders to Major General William Walker, the DC National Guard Commander, on January 6.

More from the letter:

"Given the D.C. National Guard’s history of success supporting both the Federal Government and the City Government in responding to civil unrest, and the significant role the Guard played in ensuring the safety and security of Members of Congress at the Capitol on January 6, it is essential that Report No. 2022-039 accurately reflect objective facts so that we can identify the serious problems, abuses, and deficiencies to recommend corrective actions consistent with the Inspector General Act of 19782.

Throughout the Subcommittee’s extensive investigation into the failures of January 6, 2021, we have discovered numerous flaws and objective inaccuracies in the report that your office has yet to appropriately address.

After a thorough examination of e-mails and documents, including letters, memorandums, agreements, plans, orders, reports, briefings, statements made in congressional hearings, closeddoor testimony to the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (“Select Committee”), and closed-door testimony made to the DoD IG, the Subcommittee’s investigation has concluded that the Department of Defense intentionally delayed the deployment of the DCNG to the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Furthermore, the Subcommittee also maintains that the DoD IG knowingly concealed the extent of the delay in constructing a narrative that is favorable to DoD and Pentagon leadership. …"

The only ones who get victimized/killed are those invited into the building by security.

Wasn’t Pelosi ultimately responsible anyway?

I am so glad to see Trump hand their arses back to them. Chances are Pelosi and Biden kick the bucket while he is president. Rather than enjoy their final years content with a good life around family and friends, they’ll be stewing in anger and resentment and take it to their death.

I am fine with that.

This was no “systemic failure” caused by bloated bureaucracy or incompetence. It was a malicious attempt by the US military leadership to destroy Donald Trump.

This is not a mere “firing offense”. It requires, at a minimum, stripping these people of rank and cancelling any pensions they may have, but its likely that serious prison time should be added on top of that.

That DOD inspector general should get life in prison. The IG is specail office of trust. To violate the integrity of such office is unbecoming.
