From reading, I am 100% convinced that one person, the CiC, called in the guard. But with all the confusion stirred up, I believe we are back to 17 saying disinformation is necessary. My reasoning is not from actual information. My reasoning is that the lack of someone standing and making a definitive statement has led to confusion. Therefore, I think your previous suggestion of purposeful disinfo fits. Occams razor?
I’ve read as much as came my way about how the NG got authorized and it Sec Defense said Trump ordered it. So anything else seems to be mis/disinfo.
Isn’t most of the NG Units in DC now from blue states? And if having the NG in DC is all Trump’s doing, then why not from red states as well?
