Ex-D.C. Guard official says generals lied to Congress about Jan.
MSN News ^ | 12/6/21 | etsy Woodruff Swan and Meridith McGraw

Matthews' memo levels major accusations: that Flynn and Piatt lied to Congress about their response to pleas for the D.C. Guard to quickly be deployed on Jan. 6; that the Pentagon inspector general’s November report on Army leadership’s response to the attack was “replete with factual inaccuracies”; and that the Army has created its own closely held revisionist document about the Capitol riot that’s “worthy of the best Stalinist or North Korea propagandist.”

I read the article, NOW I understand why MSN is pushing this story. The guy is not accusing the Guard of not deploying before the protests.
He is basically accusing General Flynn, (Mike Flynn’s brother) and another general of deliberately delaying a national guard deployment to the riot when it was underway.

In other words, this Lt Col (Lawyer) is trying to paint a conspiracy picture that the high level guard leaders were supporting the capitol take over by standing aside when they could help.

He is supporting the narrative of the riot as an “insurrection”. The article is BS.

They have no control over the guard if the mayor doesn’t ask for them, and she didn’t. Trump can ask, but cannot force mayors to comply to dispatch the NG. Thats why the riots were allowed to happen during the summer. Always look to the democrap if you want to find out what went wrong.

Trading on being black. On the commission to rename everything like military bases. A Bolton boy, eyeballs deep in the Ukraine thing.
Trying to support the narrative that it was a Trump organized “insurrection”.
