Miller lied to congress this AM

[Botany]

Miller lied to congress this AM in trying to blame the media and how it would look bad if the D.C. National Guard responded to the coup/riot.

Prior to Miller’s stand down order on 1/4/21 the DC National Guard had the power to act autonomously to protect people, property, and the federal and local government if they saw a threat. If Miller hadn’t given the stand down order the DC National Guard would have been there PDQ. I believe Mike Flynn's brother was at the Pentagon on 1/6/21 and he too was blocking and or slowing up a National Guard response to the Trump Riot/Coup.



BTW How did he know that there was going to be a riot on 1/4/21? "To employ any riot control agents."

This memorandum responds directly to your January 4, 2021 memorandum regarding the District of Columbia request for District of Columbia National Guard (DCNG) support in response to planned demonstrations from January 5-6, 2021. You are authorized to approve the requested support, subject to my guidance below and subject to consultation with the Attorney General, as required by Executive Order 11485.

Without my subsequent, personal authorization, the DCNG is not authorized the following:

* To be issued weapons, ammunition, bayonets, batons, riot control agents or ballistic protection equipment such as helmets and body armor.

* To employ any riot control agents.

* To interact physically with protesters, except when necessary in self-defense or defense of others.

* Prohibited from sharing “equipment with law enforcement agencies” or seeking support from any non-DC National Guard units.

* Forbidden from conducting “searches, seizures, arrests, or other similar direct law enforcement activity.”

* Forbidden from using “Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance assets” or to conduct “Incident, Awareness and Assessment activities.”

* No helicopters or “any other air assets.”

1. They all lie under oath in these hearings, nothing is done about it

[dutch777]

2. Exactly! Until there are perjury charges and timely enforcement of Congressional subpoenas, this

democracy threatening bad behavior will never end.

[Blue Owl]

3. For the GOP, lying is the new norm

I wouldn't expect a grain of truth from any one of those miserable assholes...

[Botany]

4. Miller was installed by Trump as the acting Sec. of the DoD after he, Trump. lost the election ....

... on Nov. 2020. I might be wrong but Christopher Miller was in on the planning of Trump's attempted
coup from day 1.

[Grasswire2]

6. all those last minute promotions....

....protecting and implementing the TREASON. Openly. We all knew it was dangerous and a signal of trouble. Maybe there ought to be a law that prevents last-minute appointments to positions that have law-and-order significance in terms of domestic matters in our cities. A two-month moratorium or something like that.

[PRETZEL]

5. Did any Democratic Rep. raise this memo, and not, why

even by my simple reading of this memo, this seems like it's a stand down order,

[aggiesal]

14. I agree. Why list what they can't do? ...

Just say, go home and don't come back unless we call.
Because that's pretty much what they did.

[TheRealNorth]

7. If he compromised the safety and security of Congress and our government...

Because he was afraid of "optics", he should be court-martialed and/ or stripped of his ranks for incompetence.

[Champp]

8. perjury is yet another republiQon "value"

[spanone]

9. He was a trump appointee, he probably swore an oath to lie

[BSdetect]

10. Not his business to consider optics

[Pas-de-Calais]

11. Shocked!! I am shocked a lie was told to Congress nt

[BarbD]

12. Pardon my ignorance, but what hearing was this?

[KS Toronado]

13. About the Jan 6th insurrection

[aggiesal]

15. Screw this hearing, we need a 1/6 Commission to investigate ...

behind the scenes, instead of putting up with all the BS perjury.

The Congressional Commission on Clinton/Lewinsky cost taxpayers over $50M.
The Presidential Commission on 9/11 cost taxpayers over $10M, and this was because GW McIdiot didn't what congress to control the commissions findings so he ordered one himself and wouldn't allow more than $10M to be used.

We need a Congressional 1/6 Commission and it costs what it costs.

I personally would like to see a Presidential Crimes Commission to look into all the decisions and grift by Pendejo45 and his clan/administration.

16. No hobbles? No blindfolds?

He was ready to inflict an armed-to-the-teeth force on some people gently exercising their First Amendment rights. The feeling in the air that day was that of a 1967 Love-in, up to the point the govt. thugs arrived.

17. Miller is an asshole and a liar
