Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said in an email the day before the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol that the National Guard would be on the scene to “protect pro Trump people,” according to a report released late Sunday by the House select committee investigating the events of that day.
The panel’s report does not provide further details about the message, but suggests that Meadows “knows if and when [President Donald] Trump was engaged in discussions regarding the National Guard’s response to the Capitol riot, a point that is contested but about which Mr. Meadows provided documents to the Select Committee and spoke publicly on national television after President Trump left office.”
The committee is expected to vote Monday night on the report, which recommends that Meadows be held in contempt of Congress. If the report is approved, as expected, the full House is expected to vote on referring Meadows to the Justice Department for potential prosecution as soon as Tuesday.

How this ever turned into a riot...I'll never know. Only a few started it....surrounding others at the same time. They were CAUGHT in it...not contributing to it.
It certainly wasn't a coup of any kind.
Ya, protect them from antifa. They have/had a history of attacking pro Trump rallies. This is a nothing burger.

Spot on. This one is so obvious. If only we had an opposition party to reply to these smears and rub this in the faces of the Democrat Marxists who push this gaslighting nonsense.
No wonder Nazi Pelousy waived them off....
TGHIS WAS ENGINEERED BY THE CORRUPT FBI! WHERE IS EPPS????
Agree with you 100%.
Probably why Nancy declined the National Guard.
To lodi’s point. It would be nice if some so called repub would come about and say that Nancy called off the NG so Trump supported would be attacked by antifa. It would go a long ways in changing the narrative.
Same with the Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity 1/6 real-time texts they just read and released about 10 minutes ago. Live TV streaming right now.
