There were no calls (or any communication as far as we know) from TFG to the military, Homeland Security, National Guard or any other department/force in an effort to repel the riot. There was communication between Pence and at least Gen. Milley.
When did the latter communication occur?
Did Pence call anyone else?
Did Pence issue an order (did he have the authority?) that mobilized them?
Whats astounding is that Pence knew he couldnt call TFG.

(5,911 posts)TFG tweeted about Pence being a coward at about 2:30. I believe Garland will pursue TFGs actions over the 187 minutes - simply because its so straightforward. If so, Pence may be subpoenaed.

(6,102 posts)He needs to tell the committee and/or the DOJ what the SS were telling him while they were trying to get him out of the Capitol, he needs to explain what he was doing and who he was calling (plenty of photos of him on the phone in the garage that day), and he needs to explain what he did.
It's my understanding that he did not have the authority to mobilize the National Guard but it's clear he knew no one else would make that call.
I'll bet he was talking to individuals about removing the orange fuck via the 25th Amendment and that's one reason he took over. I suspect people told him that the orange fuck sat all afternoon watching the TV with glee and Pence knew the asshole was incapable of doing a thing about the violence. Remember that Pence was a congressperson and I suspect he was really angry that the orange asshole gave the order for the Capitol attack.
I despise Pence but his actions on that day were correct. However, he is a fucking coward if he does not testify. He should actually be volunteering information. So I suspect he is compromised and maybe blackmailed by the orange fuck to keep quiet.
Pence is stupid enough to think he has a political career left. He might still have political viability if he came out and told the country that HE was the only person acting with integrity that day. He acted presidential. But he's a fucking coward and he's afraid to anger the cultists.

And was Ornato involved in the Jan 5th war room meetings or any others?

(5,911 posts)If so, when did that communication take place and is that why Pence made the call? I agree, Pence needs to testify. I dont care about J6 committee testimony. Grand jury testimony will be essential.
