House Republicans Demand Answers From Pelosi on Jan. 6 Security Failures
The Epoch Times ^ | FEBRUARY 15, 2021 | MARK TAPSCOTT

Ranking Republicans on four key House committees concerned with security at the Capitol complex are demanding answers from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) about her actions before, during, and after the Jan. 6 riot.

“It has been widely reported and confirmed by multiple sources that when [former Capitol Hill Police] Chief [Steven] Sund requested the National Guard be activated ahead of the January 6th Joint Session of Congress, the response from the Sergeant-At-Arms (SAA), acting on your behalf, was that the ‘optics’ of having the National Guard on-site were not good and the intelligence didn’t support the move. The request was not approved,” the four GOP representatives told Pelosi in a lengthy letter made public on Feb. 15.

“Furthermore, on January 6th, in the middle of the on-going attack of the Capitol, Chief Sund again notified the SAA of his request for approval to authorize the National Guard. It took over an hour for his request to be approved because the SAA had to run the request up the chain of command, which undoubtedly included you and your designees,” the four continues.

The four signers of the letter are Rep. Rodney Davis of Illinois, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Administration, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Rep. Devin Nunes of California, the senior Republican on the House Select Committee on Intelligence.

The signers demanded answers from Pelosi on the following questions:

When then-Chief Sund made a request for National Guard support on Jan. 4, why was that request denied?

"House Republicans Demand Answers From Pelosi on Jan. 6 Security Failures"

Failures? From the Swamp point of view, it was a colossal success.

Eeeew Republicans demand. Whats next ? A firm letter? Censure? Stand in the corner for a timeout?

Start demanding:
1) everyone at the crime scene in the Capital be rounded up and identified, and checked for ANTIFA involvement
2) subpoena all phone records from Schumer and Pelosi from Nov 4th until Jan 6th
3) subpoena all doctor, autopsy and funeral death certificate records for Ashley Babbit
4) Demand all security and SWAT officers at the crime scene be identified and subpoenaed to testify

There was insurrection, but it was the democraps that did it. Do all that and there is no reason for them to refuse any of these requests if Trump was truly behind all this.
