3. Thanks for posting..this is so important in many respects..

The question of when Walker was first ordered to send the National Guard to the Capitol came up during his testimony to the Senate earlier this year.

A top Pentagon official who testified alongside him, Robert Salesses, told senators that the Pentagon initially told the D.C. Guard it could move forward at 4:32 p.m. on Jan. 6.

But Salesses, a Trump administration official, then walked back his testimony under questioning by Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), who pointed out that it conflicted with Walker’s statement indicating the order came at 5:08 p.m. Salesses then corrected himself.

“In fairness to General Walker, too, that’s when the [acting] secretary of defense made the decision — at 4:32,” Salesses said. “As General Walker has pointed out, because I’ve seen all the timelines, he was not told that until 5:08.”

Also..The inspector general’s report, citing an anonymous Army official, accepts that timeline and contains no response from Walker. - most revealing - makes you wonder WHY?????
