1. More reason for a 1/6 INVESTIGATION

and compliance by the witnesses.

[Maraya1969]

2. But did Trump ask for the guard? Because I heard everyone else asked but him

And I thought it was because he wanted them to do the most damage to the capitol and maybe kill Pence.

3. I smell something here.

Just saying.

[Traildogbob]

4. Good sign

You may NOT have Covid. Maybe the high amount of Covid in non Vaxxed GQP is why they cannot smell the trump shit, and fully believe it all.

6. The article is pure bullshit,

What was the Guard going to do to obey Trump's orders? Fight against the Capitol police? If the Guard fought against the traitors that's what we wanted them to do, the insurrection would have been stopped and the vote counting continue.

Someone needs to subpoena military officials. We have a document that was written by a National Guard whistleblower who claims that generals lied to Congress. Why has this whistleblowers claims been swept under the rug.

Fuck this article, it sounds to me like a huge CYA.

10. The plan was to have "Antifa" and leftist protesters fighting with trumpers. If the left had

allowed themselves to be sucked into it, the National Guard would have been deployed "to protect pro-Trump people" (as Mark Meadows said), and Trump would have used the violence as an excuse to declare a national emergency, invoke the Insurrection Act, and attempt to seize dictatorial power.

But since the left stayed home and left the stage to the trumper insurrectionists, Trump refused to deploy the guard to control them.

5. They were all afraid, yet nobody moved to invoke the 25th amendment and remove Trump.

Let them testify to that in a televised congressional hearing.

[gab13by13]

7. They were not afraid,

someone was responsible for delaying the Guard and this article is pure BS. Bring in the Guard whistleblower and let him testify, publicly, before the select committee.

[RicROC]

13. If Pence had any sense of pride to protect himself and family,

after the attack on the Capitol, he should have arrested Trump and then let the chips fall constitutionally.

If he publicly called for the invocation of 25th Amendment, in that small window the rest of the Cabinet would have agreed with him.

16. They were not afraid, they were part of the Coup attempt.

8. Those concerns could explain why Guard units weren't

deployed to the Capitol, of course, and could explain any lies by the commanding generals involved about why they weren't. Claiming they thought it would be "bad optics" perhaps seemed preferable to admitting fear of a possible military-supported coup by the president.

“LTG Piatt stated that it would not be his best military advice to recommend to the Secretary of the Army that the D.C. National Guard be allowed to deploy to the Capitol at that time,” Matthews wrote, adding: “LTGs Piatt and Flynn stated that the optics of having uniformed military personnel deployed to the U.S. Capitol would not be good. Piatt and Flynn suggested instead that Guardsmen take over D.C. police officers’ traffic duties so those officers could head to the Capitol, Matthews continues."

9. Milley was probably right

I read elsewhere the theory that the reason *drumps circle was so panicked over visuals is that they were expecting opposition to show and engage with the insurrectionists, permitting the NatGrd to be deployed and Insurrection Act invoked. When no oppo showed and the 'circle' lost control over their mob, that's when the e-mails to Meadow started flowing. The delayed NG deployment (directed by Flynn's brother?) was, in my mind, in hopes oppo would show and the plan could proceed.

11. Oh, Baby!

There were motives behind the bigger pieces of the puzzle. They say of coups, of revolutions, of dictators, of governments, if you've lost the military, you've lost everything.

So the doubts of many of the officials surrounding TFG were whispered, privately. If this is the predominant trend, the coup plotters and leaders including TFG are just about hung out to dry!

12. they did their duty

to our country, not a psychopathic POTUS and advisors

[sarisataka]

14. But wasn't it absolutely 100% confirmed

That they were held back by Trump's cronies?

The story changes so often it is like watching a tennis match
