MSM Blackout: Trump Approved The Activation Of DC National Guard On January 3, 2021, The DC Mayor Issued A Stand Down Order And DC Police Turned Down The Guard

An FBI office in Virginia issued an explicit warning that extremists were planning to travel to Washington, D.C., to commit violence and “war” the day before the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to an internal report obtained by The Washington Post, directly contradicting the bureau’s previous claim that it had no intelligence to predict last Wednesday’s siege.

The previously unreported details undercut the assertion by a top FBI official that officials had no indication that violence was a possibility, and they add to questions about what intelligence authorities had reviewed before the Capitol riot, which led to the death of an officer and four other people, including a protester who was shot and killed by police.

“Social media is just part of a full intelligence picture, and while there was First Amendment-protected activity on social media to include some people making threats, to this point, investigators have not found that there was an organized plot to access the Capitol,” a senior FBI official said.

This was reported by the mainstream media.

But they failed to report something really important.

They failed to report the fact that after the police were given intel on violent plans to storm the Capitol on Jan. 3rd, President Trump authorized the National Guard.

The DC mayor issued a stand-down order and DC police turned down the guard.

Mayor Bowser of DC wrote to the Attorney General, the Sec of Defense of the U.S. Army on January 5 that she does not want additional Federal Law enforcement.

A few questions have to be asked!

Why leave this info out?

Why weren’t National Guard troops included in the plans leading up to the rally to guard the Capitol that day? Why did it take so long for the guard to arrive that afternoon?

The Trump rally was expected to draw well over a hundred thousand people, and would likely have attracted counter-protesters. Those facts alone would normally require an increased police presence. Then when you add-in specific intelligence that some people are threatening violent actions, the paltry police presence becomes almost inexplicable.

UNLESS the idea was to let violence happen in order to discredit Trump and his supporters. Or UNLESS Bowser was expecting the violence to come from her thugs on the left, and she was trying to protect them.

"The The DC mayor and DC police have zero control over the DC Guard. Zero. As in none. If the president wants the DC Guard activated, then they are activated."

Are you sure about that? All last summer, we heard stories of Trump suggesting that the National Guard be deployed, and Democrat mayors and governors refusing.

Trump would not activate them without the courtesy of local consent.

Yes, I am sure. But remember this article is talking about the DC National Guard. The president - and only the president - has authority over the DC Guard. No one else can call them up, or order them to stand down.

But when it comes to the states, you are right. The governors have considerable authority there. They can act in their own. And as you noted, many Democrat governors refused to use the Guard during the riots.

The Mayor and District officials were joined at InvestDC by Gwendolyn Cardno, Deputy Consul General, U.S. Consulate General Shanghai and DC’s development community, including Urban Atlantic, Forest City, Roadside Development, and Level2 Development. The purpose of the Mayor Bowser’s trade mission is to create District jobs by increasing trade and Chinese investment in DC.
