Yesterday
General Piatt explained that the Army initially provided “unarmed support” to the D.C. National Guard and the Capitol Police.

“By midday, the mission had changed drastically to respond to the attack on the Capitol,” Piatt said. “That change of mission was unforeseen and we were not positioned to respond with immediate support.”

General Piatt then notes the response to the bomb threats at the RNC and DNC offices, which are incidents that the American people still don’t have answers for. There are no known, named suspects charged for those bomb threats.

The general then described an “urgent” call to provide immediate support to the Capitol security team. Lt. Gen. Piatt then relates how he was directed to have the staff “prepare a response.”

“I communicated this on the conference call,” Piatt said. “But those on the line were convinced that I was denying the request, which I did not have the authority to do. Despite clearly saying three times that we were not denying the request, we need to prepare a plan for when the Secretary of the Army gains approval.”

The Associated Press noted that the general also admitted that “senior military leaders” determined beforehand that the military had “no role” in securing the election.
