Good grief you’re thick. The YouTube video you posted shows what happened. Grassley walked over and joined mid conversation.

How does spouting bs unsupported by evidence help anyone’s cause?

If Trump ordered the guard, there would have been a written order signed by him. This hasn’t been produced and pentagon officials testified they did not receive such an order.

Also, the speaker can’t rescind this order.

I didn’t say “ordered”. I said “offered”. Security on the Capitol grounds is the responsibility of Congress, not the President.

The Twitter video clearly shows the SAME WORDS SPOKEN by Pence with Grassley and without Grassley. How does spouting Nancy’s talking points make you look less like a paid shill or a complete DUmbass?

Yes. Pence said the same thing., not the exact phrasing though as if recorded, but passed on the same info when told Grassley was now in on the call. The YouTube video shows it without a break in it with superimposed fake timestamps like the twitter video.

I don’t understand how that makes me a paid troll.

Bowser? LOL. Bowser isn’t mentioned in the parent article, or the article posed by the other posterthat I was referencing. Bowser is a Mayor, that’s it. If the Federal Government, especially including the President, want to deploy the National Guard, he would hardly have authority to override them. Get real.

Trump called the National Guard, he claims, per the video link I already provided. And per these articles, the Army leadership, who reports to Trump, is who was denying it before Trump finally approved it.

Who is "he"? Muriel Bowser is a woman.

It’s government. If she had begged/requested the National Guard there would be documentary evidence.

The letter was presented in Kash Patel’s testimony in Colorado case.

What letter? Kash Patel is also one of those claiming the Presidential Records Act protects a President from holding on to classified information after they leave office. , which is the opposite of what it actually says.

THere’s also evidence Bowser refused them

So what. The DC national guard reports to the President. Look it up.

The decision on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol is made by what is known as the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol.

That’s one option, but it is not the ONLY option. The DC National Guard reports to the President. They will deploy whenever he orders it. He ordered it after the riots turned violent, and people had died, but he could have far before then.

District of Columbia National Guard

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_National_Guard

The President of the United States is the commander-in-chief of the District of Columbia National Guard.

You’re lost, again. I searched the parent article, and the article I was discussing when you interrupted. “Bowser” is not mentioned. He is simply the mayor of DC. He has/had no final authority over the National Guard.

I wrote “talented women”, which naturally means Common Sense Conservative women.

Did you see Rep. Mace and Marjory Greene today???

It was great. Made Rasten and Goldman look like neandertals.

Stupid neandertals at that.

Trump offered extra guard help several times in the last month leading up to Jan 6th. Pelosi, Schumer and Turtle all gave him the finger.

Per the sources I’ve seen, the President is the Commander in Chief of the DC National Guard. Other options for calling them up exist, but the ultimate authority belongs to the President. He’s the one who called them up on the 6th, eventually.

I saw it on Newsmax. Hunter is a #ussy to bail before MGT got to him. And Mace already nailed his @ss and was spot-on that he should be jailed.

It’s the evil that makes them stupid. The evil = arrogance = stupidity.

Wikipedia is your source? Really??? Trump can call them up, but his authority is still limited in the role they play in D.C. Besides, Nancy’s Antifa drones were already causing trouble while Trump was still giving a speech. But by all means, keep shilling for Nancy.

“The Capitol Police, who have authority over the Capitol grounds, repeatedly declined support from the Guard before Wednesday.”

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2021/01/12/why-the-dc-national-guards-role-was-limited-during-us-capitol-riot/

It’s easy to see Nancy’s intention if Trump called in the guard unilaterally, she’d be screeching about “insurrection” anyway.

Patel’s opinions on classified documents are irrelevant when a President declassifies before leaving office. However, a Senator or Vice President does not have the authority to declas or remove classified material or leave them unsecured (in the garage behind their prized Corvette).

Trump can call them up…/i>

Obviously, just as he eventually did, on January 6, 2021. Good to see you admit the obvious, despite the emotions involved on this subject. Thanks.
