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

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