Bombshell transcripts: Trump urged use of troops to protect Capitol on Jan. 6 , but was rebuffed

Then-President Donald Trump gave clear instructions to Pentagon brass days before the Jan. 6 riots to “do whatever it takes” to keep the U.S. Capitol safe, including deploying National Guard or active-duty troops, but top officials did not comply because of political concerns, according to transcripts of bombshell interviews conducted by the Defense Department's chief watchdog that shine new light on government disfunction ahead of the historic tragedy.

Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff, confirmed to the Pentagon inspector general three years ago that during a Jan. 3, 2021, Oval Office meeting Trump pre-approved the use of National Guard or active duty troops to keep peace in the nation’s capital on the day Congress was to certify the results of the 2020 election.

Milley's interviews were among several key to transcripts obtained by House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., and shared with Just the News.

“The President just says, ‘Hey look at this. It’s going to be a large amount of protesters come in here on the 6th, and make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it’s a safe event,’” Milley told the inspector general in one of two interviews he did in spring 2021 during a probe of the Pentagon’s response to Jan. 6.

Milley said then-Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, himself a former general, assured Trump there was an adequate safety plan for Pentagon assistance to Washington, D.C. “Miller responds by saying, ‘Hey, we’ve got a plan, and we’ve got it covered.’ And that’s about it,” Milley recalled.

That can’t be right...

That would destroy the entire insurrection narrative.

No, that can’t be right....

This story was on Glenn Beck Friday, September 20, 2024.
“It probably will be ignored on all the mainstream media.”
True.

Exactly! 90+% of the people will never hear about this.

Milley should see a firing squad.

Isn’t this what the second “impeachment” was all about?

Funny, that never came up in any of the “hearings”.

Couldn’t have honest Federal troops there bc it would have led to friendly fire.

2020 was a coup by the Deep State to reestablish control of government.

Pelosi knew exactly who those protestors and which agencies would be organizing them to riot.

“”Is there any way to take away this bag of crap’s pension for dereliction of duty?””

I assume you’re talking about Milley!! I hope so. I came here to put in my two cents worth - why on earth didn’t Milley speak up when all this came down? The minute the accusations started flying was the time for him to step up and speak out and put an end to it. Two bit general!

I would hold him accountable to REIMBURSE we, the taxpayers for failure to do his job!!! Chairman of Joint Chiefs....What IS that job other than a title and a paycheck?

Of course the President is at the top of the Armed Forces' "chain of command" as is every uniformed member of the Armed Forces. Unless I'm mistaken certain "civilians" are also part of that chain...including the Secretary of Defense,Secretary of the Department of the Army/Navy/Air Force...and others.

So DJT's words could *absolutely* be seen as a direct order...whether it was given to someone wearing a military uniform or someone wearing a suit and tie.

The enemies of President Trump, led by Nancy Pelosi, wanted the demonstration at the Capitol to be a false flag episode. They used agents to inflame the easily influenced Trump supporters to do violent actions and others to do violent actions that could be blamed on the Trump people. The outrageous arrests was the cherry on the top of this conspiracy to take down the MAGA movement.

The latest false flag episode are the assassination attempts which are similarly being swept under the rug to hide their reality: They were assassinations through favorable circumstances left to go without action.

Question. How do you think President Trump feels where almost everything he has done or said the Libs lie about.

Take the J6 National Guard lie. Trump did all he could do to protect the Congress. We only discover this 3.5 years later! Three and one/half years of lies!

I mean everything! If it was me I would start to become depressed or paranoid….
