Trump asked Milley on January 3rd for the troops. See the quote below:
Milley: “The President just says, ‘Hey, look at this. There’s going to be a large amount of protestors here on the 6th, make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it’s a safe event.’… [POTUS said] I don’t care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe.’ [SecDef] Miller responds by saying, ‘Hey, we’ve got a plan, and we’ve got it covered.’”
On January 5, the Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, placed unprecedented restrictions on DCNG Commander Major General William Walker to prevent any movement to the Capitol without Secretary McCarthy’s explicit permission on January 6 and 7.
Also here:
I just called Mike Lee’s office and told them that the Commerce Secretary should be investigated for saying that Trump should be extinguished.
I consider it a threat.
Biden’s Commerce Secretary says we should ‘extinguish’ Trump ‘for good’ | Watch
Thanks for finding that.
I want to send it to my husbands niece who thinks Trump started an insurrection.
IIRC twitter removed Trump when he was sending out messages for people to leave the Capitol and go home. IMHO it was all a setup.
Bad actors instigated going into the Capitol but too many MAGA supporters foolishly followed along. Many, if not most, had probably never even been to Washington DC. After an inspiring Trump speech, they got carried away, not realizing it would ruin their life. They had watched the riots, burnings and killings all summer when nothing happened to the perpetrators and so had no idea what was coming from the corrupt DOJ.
