Pelosi DENIED President Trump’s Request For 10k National Guard at Capitol Before Jan. 6th Protest

28

Clearly, the “insurrection” was Democrat. It’s why DC still looks like a military zone.

Trump says he requested 10k National Guard at Capitol before Jan. 6th riot, was DENIED by Pelosi

NEWSMAX – Former President Donald Trump says he was concerned days before the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol about the size of the crowd expected near the Capitol and requested 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed, but that his request was rejected because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other leaders did not like the optics.

Story continues below advertisement

“I requested, I said this rally will be bigger than anything thinks,” Trump told Fox News’ Steve Hilton on “The Revolution” Sunday night, in an interview airing after his CPAC speech. “Everyone said we’ll be at the rally. It was, I think, the largest crowd that I have ever spoken to before. I have spoken to big crowds, hundreds of thousands of people, more than that, but hundreds of thousands of people.”

Trump said he “gave the number” to the Department of Defense that 10,000 members of the National Guard would be needed.

“They took that number, from what I understand, they gave it to people at the Capitol, that is controlled by Pelosi, and I heard they rejected it because they didn’t think it would look good,” said Trump.

Meanwhile, according to Jane Campbell, the president and CEO of the U..S. Capitol Historical society, Capitol Complex security is the direct responsibility of a four-member Capitol Police Board, which includes both the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms, who report to the leaders of those chambers, reports PolitiFact.

Paul Irving, who had been the House sergeant-at-arms at the time of the attack, Michael Stenger, the Senate’s sergeant-at-arms, and Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund all resigned after the attack.

According to reports from The Washington Post and The New York Times, Irving told Sund he didn’t want troops at the Capitol on Jan. 6 because of “bad optics.”

Pelosi’s office and the Defense Department have not immediately responded to Trump’s comments, reports Fox News.

The leaders of those chambers at the time would have been Pelosi and McConnell. You can I’m sure Irving wouldn’t have made a move without Pelosi’s orders. As for Mitch, we don’t know what part he may have played in this.

Trump also said he wasn’t watching what happened on television in real time, like Mitch suggested:

Trump also told Hilton that he “hated” to see what unfolded at the Capitol, but denied that he was watching the events unfold on television in real time and compared the riot to unrest that took place in cities such as Portland and Seattle last summer.

I wonder if the House will hold a hearing on why Pelosi rejected the request for National Guard troops that would have most certainly prevented the Capitol riot. Maybe they should discuss impeaching her! Nah, they wouldn’t want their precious leader to get any of the blame when they are still trying to destroy Trump.

Why would Pelosi have any more say in that than McConnell? And why aren’t democrats being prosecuted for their crimes. The next Republican President had better completely clean house in the 3 letter agencies regardless of the crying by the democrats.

Not sure what people get to hear from their media in the US but from outside (Australia) it seems obvious that the Democrats in a number of states fraudulently stole the election, that the Capitol ‘insurrection’ was a false flag operation using paid antifa activists to infiltrate the protest march and Pelosi and her cabal of socialists deliberately undermined the police protection of the building. Once they had tied up the government in a laughable attempt to impeach Trump when he was not even in the job they moved on to manipulate dementia Joe to unwind everything done in the previous administration. From where I sit outside your once great country it looks like a real mess.

We have not heard that. Our understanding is that even tho Trump got more votes than anyone in history, Biden’s superior “ America Last” campaign, along with his choice of the slave owning Harris, were such an attractive and patriotic pair that they won every state in a landslide.

“WE the People” here and other free peoples were enslaved monetarily by the Central bankers.

In Europe for centuries and here in 1913 by Democ~rats unConstitutionally handing then full control over OUR monetary systems and numbered us in a Ponzi SocSec scam to thensell us as debt slaves by that number to the IMF….you can do indepth research to learn of it all.
HOWEVER it will take due diligent efforts to piece it together for it took a long time to pull off there and then here = they now own us ~ as they see it and want a NWO.

JCS Chief of Staff said he never heard of any such request, and he would have been in the loop.

I do not know what the protocol is to Federalize he NG. However The President is the CnC over all Federal Troops. Could he have Federalized the NG and bought them in himself. Correct me or educate me on that process. Of course the left would have exploded at both ends. Their heads and their bums.
