thanx for that.

that neither Pence nor Pelosi had anything to do with authorizing the NG, it was Trump who requested.

and that is what I thought I read early, after it first got clouded up. Then it got clouded up again.

The President "recommended" 10,000 would be needed. Why didn't he just require it be in place when he gave his speech on the 6th ?

you note: Currently requests for deployment of the D.C. guard must go through the president, but the decision is delegated to the Defense Department chain of command.

If the President requested the NG, how can they deny the President's request?
Sure seems like DOD sandbagged\setup Pres. Trump.
