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. …"

Very strongly worded letter.
Loudermilk is my Congressman. He has been doing great work on exposing J6 BS from the deep state.
I doubt any FReepers are surprised by this.
Arrest somebody, otherwise it will only get worser. Charge them with obstruction.
I second that.
GP BOOM....fizzle
I understand your cynicism about what the reaction to this will be, but I also strongly believe that one of the reasons President Trump won this election and that we have the opportunity we now have to put the ship of state back on course is that the accumulated evidence of what has been going on has seeped into the public consciousness - even if only drip by drip. So, even if it seems that 'nothing will happen', every time the left is exposed it damages their credibility and their ability to manipulate the public. They're losing.
Drip by drip in the right direction is progress.

BTTT
Can you say Nancy Pelosi??
Nobody can report a bombshell like the GP.
Trump going to let a few Generals go...start cleaning the cr** out of your drawers Gens.
No “bailiff wack him on the peepee”?
Maybe Congress can send a note with frowny emojis.
The Capital police chief is on record stating he made several calls to Pelosi’s office and the Pentagon requesting the Nat. Guard but got no responses.....
