The Pentagon's Inspector General *CONCEDES* to a House investigation that it misled the American people about National Guard troops being delayed to respond to the J6 riots.

The Pentagon's Inspector General *CONCEDES* to a House investigation that it misled the American people about National Guard troops being delayed to respond to the J6 riots...

Today, the @OversightAdmn Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) sent a letter to Department of Defense (DoD) Inspector General (IG) Robert Storch, demanding a correction of the DoD's factually inaccurate January 6 report, as first reported by The Federalist."

"After a thorough investigation, the Subcommittee uncovered evidence substantiating that the Department of Defense intentionally delayed the deployment of the D.C. National Guard to the Capitol on January 6, 2021. In addition, the DoD IG concealed the extent and cause of the delay to protect Department of Defense and Pentagon leadership. The Subcommittee found multiple instances where the DoD IG failed to disclose evidence that contradicted the DoD IG's erroneous conclusion."

"The DoD IG’s report reflects an alarming failure to adequately evaluate the actions of senior DoD officials, including Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, who failed to communicate deployment orders to Major General William Walker, the Commander of the DCNG on January 6."

“My Subcommittee worked with the DoD IG in good faith throughout our investigation to provide multiple opportunities for the DOD IG to produce corroborating materials or evidence to support their conclusions,” said Chairman Loudermilk.

“Unfortunately, the DoD IG continues to promote an inaccurate narrative that protects senior Pentagon officials and attempts to cast fault on the D.C. National Guard, who were ready and waiting less than 2 miles from the Capitol but unable to respond on January 6 due to lack of communication from the Secretary of the Army.”

"My Subcommittee released transcripts that show that not only were political concerns of ‘optics’ at play, but that DoD officials continued to delay as the riot at the Capitol worsened. The evidence is conclusive: DoD officials misled Congress into believing that help was ‘on the way’ with full knowledge that it wasn’t.”

THE BIG QUESTION: *WHY* would the Pentagon delay sending troops to respond to the January 6 "insurrection" at the U.S. Capitol if it was putting the lives of Congressional members in danger?

Because they knew about it ahead of time and were in on it.

They knew it would be peaceful.

And the J6 lie just keeps getting bigger. That’s why when the government pulls off a scam on the American people, everything is a lie.

Why?

“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....”

https://justthenews.com/accountability/watchdogs/bombshell-transcripts-trump-urged-use-troops-protect-capitol-jan-6-was



Sec. McCarthy issued a January 5 memo to Walker placing unprecedented restrictions that stripped Walker’s authority to deploy D.C. National Guard Quick Reaction Force without explicit personal approval from McCarthy.

Gen. Milley was actively involved in advising Sec. McCarthy on the Jan. 5 memo, “line by line going through this, lining it out, editing, and stuff like that, resulting in this memo.”

Mayor Bowser issued a letter to Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, Sec. Miller, and Sec. McCarthy confirming that there were no additional D.C. National Guard support requirements....”

Kyle Becker told everybody from the very beginning J6 was an entrapment plot designed to manufacture a reason to impeach and conduct lawfare against President Trump and to ensnare Trump supporters for bad political “optics.”

Like Nancy Pelosi said, “I’ve been waiting for this...” =
Reichstag Fire 2.0..

...

This is what .. Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund reveals what really happened on January 6th. Our Fox News interview with him never aired, so we invited him back.

More proof this was nowhere near “a riot” or “an insurrection”. The answer to THE BIG QUESTION is increasingly coming into sharp focus. Nancy Pelosi, acting in direct communication with the FBI, CIA, the DOD, and others coordinated a circus at the Capitol for the express purpose of framing Trump and Trump supporters and as a smoke screen to obfuscate the criminally stolen election.

How convenient that all the media attention was focused on “the insurrection” rather than investigating the stolen election. As we all now know, the 2024 election is missing some 10 million votes from 2020, and there is no way you can possibly claim that there was less motivation to vote in 2024 than in 2020.

Democrats stole the 2020 election and used January 6 to help cover it all up.

People need to be held accountable and go to jail.

To clarify, it seems Gen Milley insisted only Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, could approve deployment of the National Guard. And then it seems McCarthy decided to refuse to answer his phone for critical hours. Because THE BASTARDS WANTED VIOLENCE AND DISOBEYED TRUMP’S DIRECT ORDERS TO DO WHATEVER WAS NEEDED TO KEEP THE PEACE!

Pelosi , Liz Cheney, and .. had anti-Trumpers in the Pentagon hold the DC Guard back to give them reason to blame Trump.

See tagline. The Democrats didn't even consider that they might fail.

But they failed.

Now it's all coming out into the open and the conspirators are going to be exposed.

You know why the National Guard was deliberately withheld?

Because there were so many FBI and CIA assets on the ground that they didn’t want any of their covert assets caught in a potential National Guard crossfire.

I don’t consider Nancy to be too old for the gallows.

This nation needs to heal and the truth needs to be a part of it.

Agreed. All this liberal handwringing over the distrust of government, media, and other institutions. You want to restore public trust? Then the truth must come out completely and people must be held fully accountable, wherever that may lead. The only way for our country to heal is to excise the massive corruption that is deep within our government.

And nothing will become of this or any of it. Those who think it was an “insurrection” will continue to do wo and the rest of us who see through the lie already know it was all a scam.

From an old MSN report :

Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy first notified Maj. Gen. William Walker by phone at 4:35 p.m. that Walker was authorized to send troops to Capitol Hill, and then called the general again “to reissue the deployment order” about 30 minutes after McCarthy “originally conveyed it,” an Army witness told investigators with the independent Defense Department Inspector General, according to a newly released report. A timeline of events that day, assembled by the inspector general’s office, also indicates separate calls were made.

The investigation’s findings bring new scrutiny to Walker, who earlier this year was lauded for his candor in publicly recounting how dysfunction at the Pentagon stalled the National Guard’s response as supporters of President Donald Trump brutalized police and panicked lawmakers pleaded for help. Speaking at a joint Senate hearing on March 3, Walker recalled having a quick reaction force (QRF) geared up and said he was frustrated by the speed at which senior defense officials were responding. He told senators it was 5:08 p.m. when he received approval to deploy.

The Capitol was breached at 1:50 p.m.

Three weeks later, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) appointed him House sergeant-at-arms, saying Walker was a “leader of great integrity” and that he would be “an important asset to the House, particularly in light of the January 6 insurrection.” (Excerpt) Read more at msn.com ...

Anyone who had anything to do with not deploying the National Guard on J6 needs to be tried convicted and jailed. Every MAGA supporter who is in the DC Gulag needs to be released.

Just think of all the MAGA patriots who entered the Capitol through already open doors, walked through the rotunda, staying between the velvet ropes and then got arrested at their homes days months or years later having their lives messed up.

DC Democrats are completely evil. They are not crazy. They are power mad.

Didn’t Nancy Pelosi then make William Walker the Sergeant at Arms?

House sergeant-at-arms to Jan. 6 panel: Response ‘would have been different’ if rioters were Black
The Hill ^ | 12/28/2022 | ZACH SCHONFELD
Posted on 12/28/2022, 5:18:17 PM by ChicagoConservative27

House Sergeant-at-Arms William Walker, who led the D.C. National Guard during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, said law enforcement would have responded differently if the rioters had been Black.

“I’m African American. Child of the Sixties. I think it would have been a vastly different response if those were African Americans trying to breach the Capitol,” Walker told the House Jan. 6 panel in April, according to a transcript released this week.

“As a career law enforcement officer, part-time soldier, last five years full-time, but a law enforcement officer my entire career, the law enforcement response would have been different,” Walker continued.

The House panel as part of its investigation examined why it took hours for the Pentagon to eventually send the National Guard to the Capitol as the calamity unfolded.

The committee concluded in its final report that no Pentagon officials deliberately held off on sending the Guard, but rather conflicting messages caused a delay, placing the blame on then-President Trump.
