The smoking gun, has anyone mentioned it?

[Hamlette]

On Jan 5 Trump told Pentagon officials they would need 10,000 troops for the Jan 6 event.

If he didn't think there would be a riot, why would so many troops be needed?


I went to law school with Ted Bundy. He was tried for the Carol DaRonch kidnapping my senior year. Since we all knew him, we tended to disbelieve the charges.

I graduated and became a Public Defender and continued to follow his cases. One of my partners had defended him in the DaRonch case and thought him innocent.

When they picked him up in Florida they found a smoking gun in his car. The license plate from the van in which the body of his last victim, Kimberly Leach, was found. His fingerprint was on the license plate. That was the smoking gun for me.

Asking for 10,000 troops is what does it for me here.

1. Right? He said "that's not enough. Not nearly enough" about how many were planned

No one ever mentions it (well someone did or we wouldn’t know about it)

[LakeArenal]

2. Also, the traitors were convinced there were a million more on the way.

[soothsayer]

9. In the speech Drumpf kept wondering where the military was

As though he was expecting more despicable traitors to arrive

[onecaliberal]

3. Trump called Mexicans rapists on the day he announced.

From that day forward he has spread his venom and hate at anyone and everyone that had a different point of view. The smoking was grab them by the pu$$y remark.

[intheflow]

4. Asking for 10000 troops was purely a publicity stunt.

He knew his Pentagon lackeys had already sent the memo saying they would not be deploying any troops.

[meadowlander]

5. If he was planning a coup, wouldn't asking for more national guard troops to defend the capitol

be exculpatory?

[Hamlette]

6. he never asked for them

he told the Pentagon they would be needed but never requested them.
But you might be right, it could be spun the other way.

[sop]

7. Maybe he needed armed troops to maintain control after declaring martial law?

[Irish_Dem]

8. I agree, proves he knew it would be dangerous, but wanted to stop the violence.

[soothsayer]

10. I think it's the same as inserting one "peaceful" in an otherwise "go fight" speech

[Sogo]

11. Plausible deniability?

I had a dialogue with someone on FB who actually used "Trump said peaceful" in his argument in defense of Trump. I couldn't continue the dialogue after that....

[soothsayer]

17. Zactly

[StarfishSaver]

23. That's what I would think

[relayerbob]

12. To me the smoking gun is the fact

That Trump didn't hide in his bunker or have troops surrounding the White House. He knew they were't coming his way.

[Grokenstein]

20. There it is.

The request for ten thousand troops, at a glance, might just seem like Generalissimo Corpulente's ongoing desire for a YUUUJ military parade in his (cough) "honor."

But everyone knows what a shrieking, pissing coward he is outside of his fantasies. Animals terrify him. Loud noises make him dive for cover, eyes bugging out of his skull. Genuinely peaceful protests caused him to put up barricades and hide in the bunker. During the incel-rection if he wasn't curled up on the floor, quaking and crying for mama, it's because he knew they were there to serve him.

22. "incel-rection" ...hahaha, good one!

[Kali]

26. good one

incel-rection

[Duppers]

13. Excellent point!

He knew the probability of what would happen and was bragging about the numbers. Yet would not sent in help.

Smoke's so thick it must be in their eyes.

[bringthePaine]

14. keenly observed detail!👏

[OMGWTF]

15. The other smocking (sic) gun here is that when Shitler finally told his morons to go home they did.

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. That was an almost unbelieveable mistake on Bundy's part.

If he was capable of that, imagine what a giant scoop of brain rot Drumpf could leave lying around.

[Hamlette]

18. he became frenzied at the end

His crimes were often very gutsy but not as reckless as the final killings. There are some who argue he was reckless in an extreme death penalty state wanting to get caught.

I don't even want to know what is inside either man's mind. They don't think like me so I'll never understand it.

[StClone]

19. Because BLM, Tree Huggers, Planned Parenthood, Grandmothers....

Were likely to counter-storm the Capitol to have Trump tell it!

[CaptainTruth]

21. Because Trump wanted 10,000 troops to fight for HIM. He wanted 10,000 troops under his command...

...so he could overthrow the government & install himself as leader.

Note:

"the Commanding General of the D.C. National Guard is subordinate solely to the President of the United States."

I'm banging my head against my desk trying to figure out why it seems like no one gets this.

Remember when Trump used troops to gas peaceful protesters (& members of the clergy) for a photo-op with a Bible?

That was just a crappy photo-op that meant nothing. Imagine what he might do if he could command troops that could overthrow an election & install him as leader for another 4 years?

[burrowowl]

24. Most likely explaination

[Patterson]

25. Why would he want them when he put the kibosh on reinforcements?
