Liz Cheney. Look up Roland Freisler, and you will understand why he used Freisler for her last name. 🙂

Doesn’t matter due to democrats standing rule Trump isn’t allowed to use facts no matter how many witnesses he has.

Sadly though, the kangaroo court has no interest in the facts.

Keith Kellogg, a onetime national security adviser to former President Donald Trump and ex-Vice President Mike Pence, recently backed up Trump's long-standing claim that the National Guard had been offered to U.S. Capitol Police days before the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.

Keith Kellogg better lawyer up - the white liberal 'elites' running the country don't take kindly to upstarts speaking 'truth to power'. That BS phrase is only for commie thugs, antifa and BLM to use against Republicans.

Yes he has authority, but from what I read the Sergeants at arms for both House and Senate, who report to Pelosi, with Pelosi having final say, refused the troops.

“COP Sund asks Senate Sergeant at Arms (SSAA) Michael Stenger and House Sergeant at Arms (HSAA) Paul Irving for authority to have National Guard to assist with security for the January 6, 2021 event based on briefing with law enforcement partner and revised intelligence Assessment,” the timeline notes. “COP Sund’s request is denied. SSAA and HSAA tell COP Sund to contact General Walker at DC National Guard to discuss the guard’s ability to support a request if needed.”

As Sund’s requests were denied, the Trump administration continued working on getting then-President Trump to formally authorize the deployment of as many as 20,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol ahead of the Jan. 6 rally, according to Just The News, which conducted interviews with then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and his Chief of Staff Kash Patel.

The Capitol Police timeline shows what we have been saying for the last year — that DOD support via the National Guard was refused by the House and Senate sergeant at arms, who report to Pelosi,” said Patel. “Now we have it in their own writing, days before Jan. 6. And despite the FBI warning of potential for serious disturbance, no perimeter was established, no agents put on the street, and no fence put up.

The nice thing is - the truth is out there... and when the time comes it will be presented to the American people. Liz Cheney and other Show Trial goons will live out their old age in disgrace.

Only the President has the final say on calling up the National Guard. Pelosi and McConnell may have has a say on them being on the Capitol grounds but even that is debatable. They could have been placed on standby somewhere else.

Kiss my grits, Dizzy Lizzy.

I'm getting confused. Sure, as I first watched protesters in red hats fighting police and smashing into the Capitol, I thought - this isn't a good look for Trump.

Then I learned there wasn't really a riot - it was more like a bunch of loving tourists who were actually let into the Capitol by the police themselves. Possibly some of those videos were filmed in Burbank.

After that I found out there were some pockets of violence, but these were either Antifa operatives, or Deep State FBI agents intent on inciting Trump supporters to riot (although did they riot?).

So now you're telling me there was actually a bad riot, one we didn't have nearly enough police to put down. Trump knew there could be trouble (wait, is that right?) and he ordered more National Guardsmen, but Pelosi turned him down. So the rioting happened but it was Nancy Pelosi's fault. It all fits.

Sure thing, troll.

Yeah, one must present their MAGA bonafides in order to purchase a hat.

You, son, are a whole new level of stoopid.

I told you I quickly got past what my lying eyes were telling me. I was just having trouble processing this new information that the non-riot / TV-staged riot / FBI-led riot was a real riot that Trump tried to stop. No worries it makes good sense now and I'm on board.
